Drawing on the concept of \u2018poetic\u2019 structure, I reveal implicit assumptions in the patternings of discourse. Specifically, he discursively constructs his \u2018racially-mixed\u2019 identities by presupposing \u2018pure race\u2019 as a social fact. It is also shown that a powerful implicit assumption is the hegemony of whiteness, to which he responds in the construction of New Zealander identities. For comparative purposes, I further analyze interview data taken from another Japanese-heritage participant. Based on the analyses, I discuss implications for the analysis of multicultural discourses, and suggest that the reproduction of hegemonic values deserves more attention.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/17447143.2011.610507\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding culture in \u2018poetic\u2019 structures: The case of a \u2018racially-mixed\u2019 Japanese\/New Zealander Journal of Multicultural Discourses Online Before Print: 2012-01-18 19 pages DOI: 10.1080\/17447143.2011.610507 Masataka Yamaguchi, Professor of Japanese Studies University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand In this article, I analyze discourse taken from my interviews with a \u2018racially-mixed\u2019 Japanese\/New Zealander in which he represents [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1649,12,16,8,4405],"tags":[9688,9689],"class_list":["post-20666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anthropology","category-articles","category-asia","category-media-archive","category-oceania","tag-journal-of-multicultural-discourses","tag-masataka-yamaguchi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20666\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
