초록
차학경의 ꡔ딕테ꡕ는 이민자들이 가장 고통스럽게 부딪히는 문제인 언어의 문제에 대한 고찰을 통해 한국계 미국 이민 여성으로서 목소리를 낸다는 것이 무엇인지를 보여주고 있다. 책 제목 ‘딕테’, 즉 ‘받아쓰기’는 받아쓰는 사람의 절대적 침묵을 강요한다는 점에서 종족, 국가, 젠더, 이민으로 인해 주변화된 사람들로 하여금 말하기를 어렵게 하는 모든 상황에 대한 은유이다. ‘딕테’가 말하기의 어려움에 대한 은유라면 ꡔ딕테ꡕ는 그러한 어려움에도 불구하고 말하기를 통해 한국인으로서의 목소리, 이민자로서의 목소리, 여성으로서의 목소리를 냄으로써 비판과 새로운 창조를 시도하는 한국계 미국 이민 여성의 목소리에 대한 기록이다. 그러나 차학경의 작품이 가지고 있는 탁월성은 말을 한다는 것, 글을 쓴다는 것이 가지는 의미를 맹신하지 않았으며, 오히려 그것이 가지고 있는 문제점들을 절실히 인식하고 이를 작품을 통하여 적나라하게 드러내고 있다는 점이다.
Abstract
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictée shows what it is to have a voice as a Korean American immigrant woman by dealing with problems of language and voice, which are among the most difficult problems immigrants usually face. “Dictée” is a metaphor for all circumstances which make people who are marginalized by race, nation, gender and immigration unable to speak. This is because dictée as language pedagogy requires students to follow the dictation with absolute silence. While dictée is a metaphor for difficulty of speaking, Dictée is a record of the voice of the Korean American immigrant woman, who emerges as a “diseuse.” As a matter of fact Cha is excluded both from Western feminist discourse and Korean nationalist discourse. She wants to write “another history” from “another epic” and speaks about the stories of Koreans, immigrants, and women. Though Cha emphasizes importance of speaking and writing, she does not fall into essentialism to believe in the transcendental meaning of speaking and writing. She reveals and criticizes problems of language through the text. She changes her weakness as an Asian-American immigrant woman into strength, seeing problems of language more keenly than insiders and making her text an excellent experiment on language.
