This paper aims for exploring how Asian American writers, Maxine Hong Kingston and Chang Rae Lee, create a lliteary space in which new subjectivities via desubjectitification emerges reflecting the actual space in which globlization, hybridization, and multi- direcitonal diaspora occur. I analyze Maxing Hong Kingston's China Men first to show how she de-gender her own narrative to represent Chinese men's heroic and nomadic lives in early immigration and their frustration which results in settlement in Chinatown. In turn, I analyze Change Rae Lee's third novel, Aloft, to analyze why and how he uses white male's voice to tell a postethnic stories. The narrative of Jerry, the narrator of Aloft, hides Real in which a Korean woman's tragic life is hidden. This Real is a kernel that debunks the dark side of postethnicity. As theoretical scaffolding, I use mainly Deleuze and Guattari's concepts. This paper concludes with critical view of both writers' attempts.
Abstract
This paper aims for exploring how Asian American writers, Maxine Hong Kingston and Chang Rae Lee, create a lliteary space in which new subjectivities via desubjectitification emerges reflecting the actual space in which globlization, hybridization, and multi- direcitonal diaspora occur. I analyze Maxing Hong Kingston's China Men first to show how she de-gender her own narrative to represent Chinese men's heroic and nomadic lives in early immigration and their frustration which results in settlement in Chinatown. In turn, I analyze Change Rae Lee's third novel, Aloft, to analyze why and how he uses white male's voice to tell a postethnic stories. The narrative of Jerry, the narrator of Aloft, hides Real in which a Korean woman's tragic life is hidden. This Real is a kernel that debunks the dark side of postethnicity. As theoretical scaffolding, I use mainly Deleuze and Guattari's concepts. This paper concludes with critical view of both writers' attempts.
