In 1968, Pearl Buck published her third story about Korea, The New Year. In this work, the readers see how Korea and its people are inscribed with American “orientalist” discourse. At the same time, it makes clear that Korea’s “exportation of American culture” has rendered post-war Seoul a “transnational space” of sorts (Cole and Haddad 4) and some of its people have taken on a “flexible citizenship” of a transnational subject who has multiple cultural literacies at their disposal. Thus, in my discussion of The New Year, I investigate how the competing discourses of the nation-state and the transnational are played out within the pages of this novel. I examine how Buck’s narrative gestures towards the transnational just as it evokes the American nationalist discourse by which Korea and its people (especially its women) are relegated as the Oriental Other in relation to the American Self.
