초록
Paul Yoon's Snow Hunters suggests a new direction for Asian American literature by including Brazil as one of the migratory routes for Asian diasporas. The novel delineates the journey of a North Korean prisoner of the war who chooses Brazil as a place to settle down after the Korean War. The novel is unique in that it introduces a character, Yohan, who migrates to Brazil after the war and makes a living with the help of a Japanese tailor, Kiyoshi. The welcoming of the other represented by Kiyoshi can be explicated by Derrida's concept of hospitality as well as Levinas' sense of ethics. Yohan is able to develop a sense of kinship with various social outsiders including the groundkeeper at the church and two vagrant children. While living among outsiders of Brazilian society, he continues to carry traumatic memories of the Korean War within himself. The paper illustrates the process by which he is freed from the hold of traumatic memories and is able to construct an affective relationship in which he can find a sense of home.
Abstract
Paul Yoon's Snow Hunters suggests a new direction for Asian American literature by including Brazil as one of the migratory routes for Asian diasporas. The novel delineates the journey of a North Korean prisoner of the war who chooses Brazil as a place to settle down after the Korean War. The novel is unique in that it introduces a character, Yohan, who migrates to Brazil after the war and makes a living with the help of a Japanese tailor, Kiyoshi. The welcoming of the other represented by Kiyoshi can be explicated by Derrida's concept of hospitality as well as Levinas' sense of ethics. Yohan is able to develop a sense of kinship with various social outsiders including the groundkeeper at the church and two vagrant children. While living among outsiders of Brazilian society, he continues to carry traumatic memories of the Korean War within himself. The paper illustrates the process by which he is freed from the hold of traumatic memories and is able to construct an affective relationship in which he can find a sense of home.
