Abstract
Introducing Gao Xingjian as an alternative site for research, this chapter explores historical evidence of cross-cultural negotiations in China in his fiction. Exposing the ideological extremism during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), Gao rejects the (mis)representation of home and loyalty as constants in the state version of diaspora literature and offers a broad-based study of the history of human culture as always in process. Since transculturalism recognises the presence of others among us on the one hand and defies assimilation on the other, this chapter implies the need to remap home on broad lines of cultural inclusivity and accommodativeness
