[KS] Korean literature

[Ann Lee]

Dear all,

I would like to clarify my earlier statement.

Actually, I am interested in how Yi In-song's writings portray the struggle, within the moment, of individual subjectivity to vocalize or signify while conscious of the othering effect of overdetermining discourses.  Yi's works depict Korean subjectivity as refracted into divided selves, within the field of global, hegemonic desire, and how narrative voice modulates from first person to third person to depict this "othering" process.  I am interested too in how Yi In-song foregrounds the individual subject's practice of language: for example, the use of foreign language (Kim) and the questioning of the concept of an "originary" Koreanness (Chow: 91), and the ungrammatical use of Korean to depict the interplay of moment and flow, subjectivity and sociolect.  Moreover, I am interested in how Yi portrays contradictions within masculinist perspectives of the sexual exploitation of women.  I discuss Yi's use of dialogic poetics (Choi, Bakhtin) in the depiction of the minjung as audience and actors who are creative subjectivities in their own right.  I examine Yi In-song's depiction of the struggle of the subject to participate in the sociolect and to constitute dialogic, democratic processes of communication.
