초록

Chang-rae Lee’s novel The Surrendered is an Asian global narrative which not only thematizes globalization but also presents Asian and American characters who, displaced by the Korean War, must cross national and cultural borders around the world. The three main characters, June, Sylvie and Hector, are diasporic subjects who experience migration to multiple sites. In spite of their traumatic experiences of war and violence, they are able to find hospitality, intimacy and respite in the orphanage which provides them with Levinas’ sense of home. Chang-rae Lee presents Americans migrating to Asia for both religious and military reasons, and thereby decentralizes America as the place of settlement. His novel illustrates the reciprocal nature of the interaction between Asians and Americans rather than the passive absorption of American influences by Asians. In doing so, he presents a paradigm shift in imagining the relationship between America and Asia, one which suggests a direction for world literature which aspires to represent non-Western narrative visions.

Abstract

Chang-rae Lee’s novel The Surrendered is an Asian global narrative which not only thematizes globalization but also presents Asian and American characters who, displaced by the Korean War, must cross national and cultural borders around the world. The three main characters, June, Sylvie and Hector, are diasporic subjects who experience migration to multiple sites. In spite of their traumatic experiences of war and violence, they are able to find hospitality, intimacy and respite in the orphanage which provides them with Levinas’ sense of home. Chang-rae Lee presents Americans migrating to Asia for both religious and military reasons, and thereby decentralizes America as the place of settlement. His novel illustrates the reciprocal nature of the interaction between Asians and Americans rather than the passive absorption of American influences by Asians. In doing so, he presents a paradigm shift in imagining the relationship between America and Asia, one which suggests a direction for world literature which aspires to represent non-Western narrative visions.
