초록
This article focuses on the Korean-born Danish adoptee poet Maja Lee Langvad’s work Find Holger Danske (2006), and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s notion of minor literature. Maja Lee Langvad’s book is an ironic-experimental as well as lyrical exploration of the question where to find Danish-ness (and where not to find it) at the margins — in an epoch during which the very notion of Danish-ness seems to be under threat. It is furthermore a reflection on the author’s own minority position — that of the transracial adoptee. Transracial adoptee subjectivity is one of the most intriguing forms of migrancy, above all because it is rarely categorized as a form of migration. Yet the process involves subjects radically deterritorialized and uprooted. In Lee Langvad’s texts, a strange traversing between invisibility and visibility, as well as minority and majority, is captured with an acute urgency — and all the more so because the book foregrounds the recent political climate in Denmark — one that within the last two decades has become increasingly paranoid and xenophobic. Our argument is that her book effectively deconstructs the concept of Danish-ness while foregrounding marginalised subjectivities, such as the author’s own particular subject position.
