Literature The Woman Warrior Buddhist imagery Buddhist journey silence meditation self cultural identity koan martial arts Buddhist imagery in The Woman Warrior can be interpreted as part of a Buddhist journey, a journey to observe and realize the nature of the self as mutable and indefinable; this concept of self becomes transcendent through the novel to the reader by a participatory process which calls for insight beyond the illusion created by the narrative itself. Through an exploration of Buddhist inspired images – silence, seated mediation, the concept of the self as observer, koan, martial arts, the role of suffering and even aspects of transmigration and time – the struggle or journey to define a self transcends the idea of cultural identity and linear narrative that adds to existing critical discussions of the text. 2011 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1327884388 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1327884388 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
