초록
Since the turn of the new millennium, the genre of North Korean defector autobiographies has received widespread attention in the English-speaking world. Remarkably, these English-language publications typically do not first go through a process of translation from their subjects’ first language to their target language. This paper consists of two parts. The first takes up the question of whether it is possible to define a work about the experiences of North Korean defectors as an autobiography if the author is not the defector himself or herself. In examining this question, the paper juxtaposes these North Korean defector autobiographies against related genres such as autobiography, ghostwritten autobiography, authorized biography, and unauthorized biography, as well as Gulag memoirs and memoirs of Communist disillusionment. The second part of this paper explores the publication process of these North Korean defector English- language autobiographies involving cooperation between various parties, including defector authors, translators, transcribers, and English- speaking authors. Focusing on the distance between the English-writing authors and the defector authors whose first language is not English, this paper sets forth the meaning of what can be called North Korean defector vocal-writing.
Abstract
Since the turn of the new millennium, the genre of North Korean defector autobiographies has received widespread attention in the English-speaking world. Remarkably, these English-language publications typically do not first go through a process of translation from their subjects’ first language to their target language. This paper consists of two parts. The first takes up the question of whether it is possible to define a work about the experiences of North Korean defectors as an autobiography if the author is not the defector himself or herself. In examining this question, the paper juxtaposes these North Korean defector autobiographies against related genres such as autobiography, ghostwritten autobiography, authorized biography, and unauthorized biography, as well as Gulag memoirs and memoirs of Communist disillusionment. The second part of this paper explores the publication process of these North Korean defector English- language autobiographies involving cooperation between various parties, including defector authors, translators, transcribers, and English- speaking authors. Focusing on the distance between the English-writing authors and the defector authors whose first language is not English, this paper sets forth the meaning of what can be called North Korean defector vocal-writing.
