초록
This paper aims to explore potentiality of a new theoretical territory—namely, ‘post-diaspora’ focusing on how ‘adoption,’ as a post-diasporic global phenomena, is represented in a Korean American adoptee novel, Lee, Marie Myung Ok's Somebody's Daughter. More specifically, this paper investigates adoptee's narrative through theoretical lens of Giorgio Agamben's ideas of ‘homo sacer’ and ‘the state of exception,’ Bio-politics, established upon global capitalism and post-marxist shift from production to reproduction, inclusively exclude human life through turning it into ‘bare life’--i.e. refugee, surrogate mothers, human organ trafficking, etc. As an example of those phenomena, Korean adoptee narrative in Somebody's Daughter illuminate how those transnationally exported human subject turns into commodity and how the bi-racial adoptee of the novel, Sarah, comes to realize the true meaning of life through post-diasporic odyssey to find her hidden identity. In paralleled narrative of her birth mother, Kyung-Sook also shows how state of exception and bio-politics operate to turn both mother and daughter into homo sacer.
Abstract
This paper aims to explore potentiality of a new theoretical territory—namely, ‘post-diaspora’ focusing on how ‘adoption,’ as a post-diasporic global phenomena, is represented in a Korean American adoptee novel, Lee, Marie Myung Ok's Somebody's Daughter. More specifically, this paper investigates adoptee's narrative through theoretical lens of Giorgio Agamben's ideas of ‘homo sacer’ and ‘the state of exception,’ Bio-politics, established upon global capitalism and post-marxist shift from production to reproduction, inclusively exclude human life through turning it into ‘bare life’--i.e. refugee, surrogate mothers, human organ trafficking, etc. As an example of those phenomena, Korean adoptee narrative in Somebody's Daughter illuminate how those transnationally exported human subject turns into commodity and how the bi-racial adoptee of the novel, Sarah, comes to realize the true meaning of life through post-diasporic odyssey to find her hidden identity. In paralleled narrative of her birth mother, Kyung-Sook also shows how state of exception and bio-politics operate to turn both mother and daughter into homo sacer.
