The purpose of this paper is to examine the universal cause of ongoing racial conflict by comparing Octavia Butler’s Kindred and Lee Chang-rae’s Native Speaker. First, this paper will simultaneously deal with the usefulness of ‘time travel’ and the ‘spy’ as narrative devices in terms of content and formality. In fact, Kindred borrows the form of a fantasy novel, but it is not fanciful at all nor does it stimulate fantasy. Second, this paper will examine what values and relationships they undermine in contemporary society while exploring the problem of a single identity being embedded. If ‘time travel’ and the ‘spy’ are narrative devices that portray the reality that white-centered society is working as shackles, the identity given to social minorities is nothing more than a restraint that suppresses the freedom of choice. Third, I will introduce the ways in which a single and inclusive identity undermines the cultural, economic, and political diversity of individuals, and how this individual pluralism can be combined with a communal identity. If contemporary society still discriminately recognizes and treats individuals, it is necessary to consider the various characteristics and pluralistic relationships of individuals as important components of society. To that end, this study reminds us of the value of people as beings that we must consider before constructing identities related to individual groups, nations, and races.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the universal cause of ongoing racial conflict by comparing Octavia Butler’s Kindred and Lee Chang-rae’s Native Speaker. First, this paper will simultaneously deal with the usefulness of ‘time travel’ and the ‘spy’ as narrative devices in terms of content and formality. In fact, Kindred borrows the form of a fantasy novel, but it is not fanciful at all nor does it stimulate fantasy. Second, this paper will examine what values and relationships they undermine in contemporary society while exploring the problem of a single identity being embedded. If ‘time travel’ and the ‘spy’ are narrative devices that portray the reality that white-centered society is working as shackles, the identity given to social minorities is nothing more than a restraint that suppresses the freedom of choice. Third, I will introduce the ways in which a single and inclusive identity undermines the cultural, economic, and political diversity of individuals, and how this individual pluralism can be combined with a communal identity. If contemporary society still discriminately recognizes and treats individuals, it is necessary to consider the various characteristics and pluralistic relationships of individuals as important components of society. To that end, this study reminds us of the value of people as beings that we must consider before constructing identities related to individual groups, nations, and races.
