초록
This study examines the interplay between memory and spectrality through Jacques Derrida’s concept of hauntology, applied to Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko (2017). Hauntology challenges linear conceptions of time by suggesting that the past, present, and future coexist and overlap. In Pachinko, the protagonist Sunja experiences the persistent presence of her deceased father Hoonie, her husband Baek Isak, and her son Noa. These figures return as spectral memories that shape her identity, decisions, and emotions. Rather than static recollections, the memories function as ghostly forces, carrying unresolved grief and transmitting cultural and historical trauma. They operate as a form of ritual dialogue, allowing the living to coexist with the dead across generations. By employing Derrida’s hauntology, this paper demonstrates how memory functions simultaneously as mourning, ritual, and cultural continuity. The analysis reveals that the spectral presence of the dead not only influences personal identity but also contributes to broader questions of history, diaspora, and collective memory. Ultimately, the study argues that Pachinko illustrates how haunting and remembrance illuminate the enduring interconnection of life, death, and cultural identity.
Abstract
This study examines the interplay between memory and spectrality through Jacques Derrida’s concept of hauntology, applied to Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko (2017). Hauntology challenges linear conceptions of time by suggesting that the past, present, and future coexist and overlap. In Pachinko, the protagonist Sunja experiences the persistent presence of her deceased father Hoonie, her husband Baek Isak, and her son Noa. These figures return as spectral memories that shape her identity, decisions, and emotions. Rather than static recollections, the memories function as ghostly forces, carrying unresolved grief and transmitting cultural and historical trauma. They operate as a form of ritual dialogue, allowing the living to coexist with the dead across generations. By employing Derrida’s hauntology, this paper demonstrates how memory functions simultaneously as mourning, ritual, and cultural continuity. The analysis reveals that the spectral presence of the dead not only influences personal identity but also contributes to broader questions of history, diaspora, and collective memory.
