This article explores the potential of a Sinophone Global South paradigm by first adopting the concept of ＂worlding＂ literature to deconstruct and reconstruct how marginal literature or literature from the periphery negotiates its status within a system of recognition in the production and circulation of knowledge. This existing system of knowledge has for too long been dominated by a western epistemology. Using the works of Sinophone Malaysian writer Chang Kuei-hsing [Zhang Guixing], the article then folds this rethinking of Sinophone Malaysian literature through an act of literary cartographic design into the current debates of the Global South. By thinking Sinophone literature through the lens of the Global South, the article examines the viability of a Sinophone Global South paradigm that could offer insights to how issues of global capitalism and indigenous sovereignty are cogently discussed. This prevents indigenous representations from being treated simply as plotlines to elevate the identity politics of Sinophone communities. It is though this paradigm that Sinophone studies reinforces its critical vitality in identifying, addressing, and critiquing the multiple axes of power operating as origins of oppression and exploitation.

這篇論文探討華語語系全球南方化作為研究範式的潛力。首先採用文學「世界化」的概念來解構和重構邊緣文學或來自邊緣的文學如何在知識生產和流通中的認可體系裏協商其地位。這種現有的知識體系長期以來一直受西方認識論的支配。本文接著通過馬華作家張貴興的作品，以文學勘繪方式重新思考馬華文學，將之植入全球南方化的辯論中。本文從全球南方化的視角來思考華語語系文學，並藉由全球南方化範式來洞察全球資本主義和原住民主權的問題。在這範式的影響下華語語系研究可以更具體地辨識、處理和批判霸權對弱勢族群的壓迫和剝削。
