인종적 프로파일링과 주체화과정 ― 웬호 리 사건과 수잔 최의『요주의 인물』을 중심으로 = Racial Profiling and Becoming Subject: Wen Ho Lee Case and Susan Choi’s A Person of Interest

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Susan Choi’s A Person of Interest published in 2008 was based on Wen Ho Lee’s racial profiling which had happened from 1999 to 2000. Wen Ho Lee’s memoir, My Country Versus Me, contains a detailed report of the investigation, Lee’s emotions of being wrongly accused, and the awakening of his political consciousness. Susan Choi wrote A Person of Interest based on Wen Ho Lee’s Case and begins the story of Professor Lee being targeted as a suspect due to his Chinese ethnicity. This paper examines how racial profiling is usually performed when an incident happens to an Asian American, and for it to be carried out successfully, how the media pitches in, becoming involved in and overtaking the judgment of court. Whereas Lee in his memoir remains to the model minority type, the Lee character/figure in A Person of Interest breaks free from the stereotype of Asian Americans. Through such structure, this paper explores how the writer blends the social-political theme of racial profiling with Lee’s inner wrongdoing. It also explores that Lee’s process of becoming a subject achieves a convincing portrayal of a complex and rounded Asian American.
