| Profile |
The main focus of my research is Asian American literature and culture. The history of Asian Americans consists of the history of migration and war. Whether voluntarily or due to unavoidable circumstances, they immigrated to the U.S., and they have been obliged to live as a minority within a white-dominated society. As a result, they have had to confront various conflicts caused by the gap between the dominant narrative of a nation and a narrative of their own race. As conflicts between the U.S. and Asia became further intensified due to wars between the U.S. and Asia, i.e. WWII, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War, the disparity between the two narratives deepened, and it became extremely difficult for Asian Americans to form and maintain sound identities within the U.S. I have been steadfast in looking at such historical experiences of Asian Americans through literature and other cultural products, which are forms of memory, with memory analysis thus being crucial in my research. Since memory includes both collective and individual memory, I have looked at both internal and external spheres. In the framework of trauma studies, feminist psychoanalysis, narrative theory, social history, gender studies, and cultural studies, my research explores the process of memory formation, reconstruction, and erasure in literature and a multitude of other cultural manifestations. |
