Shifting Identity and a cup-o-noodles

I couldn't help but jump on Chang and Voge's website while reading Walkowdtz's "Close Reading in an Age of Global Writing."  As she went through the various examples I decided to watch the ones she was talking about.  She wrote of Chang and Voge that "In their work translation helps generate solidarities both smaller and larger than the nation" and that was certainly true for me as I watched "Morning of the Mongoloids."  The latest version is in German/English, so I wasn't able to watch the Porteguese one that she watched but I think that I may have experienced a similar result.  I related everything back to myself, my language, and my country.  At first, with the translated language being German, I thought that this clearly must be a German man.  Once he left the apartment and speculated as to where he was and suspected Chinatown, I thought he must have been transmigrated to one of the Chinatowns in the states, because after all, part of this story is relayed in English, right?  After I finished and the last two shots are that he is eating a cup-o-noodles which is great for a hangover, and then it just hangs on the last screen. I don't know if anyone else watched these, and if they got a huge laugh at the end because (not only is it true that cup-o-noodles are a very enjoyable hangover food) I knew I was duped.  I knew as soon as I read that last line that I was ascribed a degree of drama and intensity to this story that was uncalled for.  There is a degree of error in translating and in confusing details, but what was so great about both Walkowdtz's piece and the website was that in the end, global write is translatable.  A story that although in English, really does show the solidarity between a presumably European man, myself (an American woman) and this manifested Korean identity.  Furthermore, the actual story indicates that the identity of any of these traits (European, American, Korean, man, woman) are constructed based on various factors that are constantly at risk of shifting.
