다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is committed to examination of the colonized subject's self-fashioning and strategy of resistance through 'mimicry' and 'dis-identification', which is revealed in the writings of Sing, the narrator of The Mimic Men, and of Naipaul, the author of the text.
While Sing performs mimicry with all his endeavors to identify with the eye of the Other in Isabella, which is represented as the eye in the sky, he performs it through the identification with the other's eyes in London. In this practice he is able to form himself into an successful colonized subject. Describing this process of his own self-fashioning, Sing not merely realizes but reveals that the colonized subject formed himself into a kind of subject, who, while seeking to reproduce, subverts imperial power.
Naipaul practices the same kind of writings and resistance in the realities of life as Sing does in the text. He does it through producing the heterogeneous discoursive space for self-fashioning of the colonized subject especially in the heart of the empire.
