Kijichon Women as Homo Sacers in States of Exception in Fenkl’s Memories of My Ghost Brother and Keller’s Fox Girl

박금희 한국중앙영어영문학회 2022 영어영문학연구 Vol.64 No.3

This article aims to examine kijichon women as homo sacers Heinz Insu Fenkl’s Memories of My Ghost Brother and Nora Okja Keller’s Fox Girl from an Agambenian viewpoint, considering the thesis of Encyclopedia of Korean Culture which defines heroines as homo sacers in the Korean kijichon novels in the mid-1990s. In these texts, the women become prostitutes for their poverty-stricken families and nation after the Korean War, but are insulted and abused without legal and moral punishment. In addition, the frequent and atrocious sexual abuse and insults by sadistic American soldiers. In fact, the women undoubtedly resemble actual kijichon prostitutes who were expatriated from their communities as dirty women and abandoned without legal protection and compensation from their nation. From Giorgio Agamben’s point of view, the reason that kijichons are in “anomie” states and women there live as homo sacers in the texts is due to the Korean government, which suspended the existing anti-prostitution laws and applied the absurdly biased administrative laws over-examining and isolating prostitutes in order to control venereal diseases. This analysis could help establish an important basis that would push the Korean government to improve the former kijichon women’s poor living conditions with adequate compensation, as well as to improve negative perceptions of them.

D. H. 로렌스의 『채털리 부인의 사랑』: 코니의 자아 저술하기

박금희 한국중앙영어영문학회 2015 영어영문학연구 Vol.57 No.1

This article aims to examine what problems are exposed in Connie’s characterization by introducing the Bakhtinian concept, authoring hero and analyzing Connie’s character. M. M Bakhtin believes that a novelist must embody his hero because generally a hero’s performed act in the novel reenacts our acts in the real world. In the case of Connie, she redefines her sexual identity in the continuity of the dynamic interaction with others, including her husband Clifford Chatterley and his Cambridge friends, her lover Michaelis and another lover Oliver Melors. In this redefinition of her sexual identity, Connie also considers a variety of socio-economic, historical, cultural factors inherent in the industrial society, interfering her and making her free and energetic life impossible as a whole human-being. This means Connie considers her socio-economic, hierarchical situations as well as others’ opinions before she decides to live her marriage life with Mellors in a farm. Nevertheless, she rejects all or makes her rash decisions from the beginning to end without her own reflections on ‘someone else’s I’ as a Bakhtinian expression. In the Bakhtinian point of view, such a performed act is one without the multilateral consideration about ‘I-for-myself, the other-for-me, and I-for-the- other.’ This performed act of hers reduces the persuasiveness in Connie’s authoring self, and resultingly, in the sexual morality D. H. Lawrence tries to enact through his novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

Racism and Historic-cultural Trauma in Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor Was Divine

박금희 한국현대영어영문학회 2019 현대영어영문학 Vol.63 No.2

This article examines how American racism-based policies like Executive Order 9066 of the Roosevelt Regime traumatized Japanese Americans before and after their wartime internment by analyzing Julie Otsuk’s When the Emperor Was Divine in the pluralist viewpoint of Michelle Balaev. The findings are: First, the internment of Japanese Americans residing on the Western Coast of America during World War II caused physical and psychological trauma that is repeated over and over, even after their release, through American racist policies mobilized through mass media, such as TV, radio and magazines. Second, the morbid racist gossip circulated through media contributed not only to the repetition of trauma, but also the distortion of Japanese Americans’ identity, which caused them to take it for granted that they should be docile and patient as a model minority. Especially, by describing the process of personality formation through the first-person narration of a seven-year-old boy, Otsuka articulates that the racist policies of the government interrupted his normal growth both psychically and psychologically. In order for young boys and girls to grow up as balanced citizens as well as get rid of misconstrued images of Japanese Americans, groundless racism will have to be reflectively approached.

Nora Okja Keller’s Fox Girl: Biopolitics, Necropolitics, and a State of Exception

박금희 한국현대영어영문학회 2022 현대영어영문학 Vol.66 No.2

This essay aims to discuss the effects of the Korean government’s hygiene policies on the lives of prostitutes and their families in a U. S. military base village, or kijichon in Nora Okja Kelle’s Fox Girl from the viewpoints of Achille Mbembe’s necropolitics and Michel Foucault’s biopolitics. When it comes to prostitution, it can be said that kijichons were in a state of exception, from Georgio Agamben’s perspective. Using sexually transmitted diseases testing (STD testing) as an example, Fox Gil shows how the hygiene policy pushes ex-Japanese comfort woman and kijichon prostitute Duk Hee into a worse life condition, as a prostitute in a show window, “a fish tank,” while also leading her daughter Sookie into prostitution. Because the policy was unconcerned with the test subjects and their families as a biopolitical attempt to ensure the health of the U. S. soldiers, all of the damage goes to them. The biggest problem is that the completely biased policy was implemented, even though state-regulated prostitution in Korea was abolished in 1948, and the Anti-Prostitution Law was enacted in 1961. The terrible result of the government’s policies was that such policies turned kijichons places where women cannot normally live, as we can see when Hyun Jin Kong, another victim of Korean blood- related culture, runs away to America with Sookie’s daughter Myu Myu.

War-trauma and the Failure of Franklin Hata’s Self-masking in A Gesture Life

박금희 대한영어영문학회 2019 영어영문학연구 Vol.45 No.4

This article examines the argument that the protagonist Franklin Hata’s choices in crisis, as a Korean Japanese American, cannot be recognized only as “passing” or becoming a model minority for his welfare. For this purpose, we presume that Hata’s war-trauma involving the Korean comfort woman Kkutaeh’s gang-rape and brutal death at the hands of Japanese soldiers in the Pacific War has caused him to suffer from PTSDs, such as hypochondria, amnesia, and haunting vision of his beloved Kkutaeh. Hata’s abnormal psychology will be closely examined from a Freudian viewpoint. The findings can be summed up as follows: First, Hata’s war-trauma cannot be easily overcome due to its severity. Second, this trauma causes Hata to fail in both parenthood and love, as revealed through the failure of Hata’s gestural life as a model minority; all his efforts to hide painful memories are useless. In the Freudian perspective, Hata’s painful memories wounded his psychic organ and repeatedly reinjure him whenever he faces reminders of the traumatic events. Here, one of the reminders is his adopted daughter Sunny. That is, his obsession with success and masquerade as a good man cannot be considered as passing, model minority complex, or gestural life, as other critics have suggested; his efforts to become a model minority or live a gestural life happen after he already experienced as an imperial citizen and model minority in Japan.

해리 포터와 마법사의 돌에 나타난 카니발적 전복

박금희 대한영어영문학회 2017 영어영문학연구 Vol.43 No.1

This article aims to use M. M. Bakhtin's perspective to examine the interrelationship between J. K. Rowling’s carnivalesque narratology and the caustic social criticism in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. In this novel, Rowling criticizes the Dursleys’ ostentatious self-display and Lord Voldemort’s paranoid power abuse for his own gratification. As a social criticism written for adolescents, this novel presents all the socially critical discussions as comic happenings with Rubeus Hagrid and children’s games or entertainment with Harry Potter. Especially, Hagrid, as Harry’s protector, can be thought of as a variation of festive and folkloric comic characters in that he is easygoing and enjoys eating and drinking, and his comments contain bitter criticisms about both Muggles and Sorcerers. Hagrid encourages Harry to overcome his traumas from the Dursleys through comic magical games and generous foods, which help Harry to reveal Voldemort's horrible conspiracies. This narration of Rowling’s, connected to Harry's heroization and Voldemort's caricaturization can be read as a decrowning/crowning play, dating back to Middle Age carnivals. Through this carnivalesque narration, Rowling enables adolescent readers to develop socioeconomic and political consciousness while reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. As a result, Rowling succeeds in developing her own narratology.
