초록
Concerning Chang-rae Lee’s 1999 novel A Gesture Life, there have been many discussions on the complexity of its protagonist, Franklin Hata. Therefore, it is worth focusing instead on Sunny, another complicated character. Sunny, whose identity is theoretically ‘over-determined’ by various categories, tends to be discussed and represented with a fragmented face, which suggests two possible things: articulation and re-articulation. The term ‘articulate’ has an interesting double meaning: one is ‘to utter’ and the other is as follows: According to Stuart Hall, when two different elements are ‘articulated,’ they “can, but need not necessarily, be connected to one another,” so can be ‘re-articulated’ as well. Thus, this paper attempts to reinterpret Sunny in terms of ‘articulation,’ focusing on a paradox of silence as her ‘articulating’ condition and her (cultural) identity as the ‘positioning,’ which are called ‘différend’ and ‘anchoring’ respectively.
