Abstract

Kyeong HwangboThe central issue of Chang-rae Lee's first novel Native Speaker involves the Korean-American protagonist Henry Park's impossible quest for an identity that will suture his fractured sense of self he feels as a hyphenated minority and provide for him a stable anchoring point in American culture and society. Underpinning Henry's treacherous activities of espionage, as well as many of his questionable personal choices, are the seductive power of assimilative ideological fantasies that coax him into the role of a docile, duteous son of America or a 'model minority' who silently endures any unfair treatment and is even willing to sacrifice the loyalty to his ethnic community in exchange for a full membership in America. Put in terms of Lacan's psychoanalysis, Henry seeks the object a, the cause and object of his desire, in the image of a model minority and tries to fill up the lack in his being, which is inextricably linked with his entry into the symbolic order of American society that strategically abuses and exploits its minorities. The ideological fantasies Henry harbors, however, veils the true nature of his ominous assimilative moves, causing him to engage continuously in self-alienating acts of betrayal to such an extent that his own subjectivity evanesces behind a series of impersonating roles he assumes. Yet through his professional involvement with John Kwang, a Korea-American politician, and through the disillusionment with his life of exploitive conspiracy, Henry traverses the ideological fantasies of conformity and assimilation that used to dictate his life, finally encountering the lack in the Other or the American symbolic order, which is carefully built upon the unacknowledged sacrifices and pains of immigrants.
