DescriptionKorean/Korean American women’s traumas, as they are represented on the body, are often treated as a national allegory. This dissertation strives to complicate this interrogation by suggesting that these wounded bodies serve as sites of subversion; through the exploration of fictional works by Korean/Korean American writers, this work attempts to find a new ways of articulating the trauma that is written on the Korean American female body. Korean/Korean American literature by women writers in particular engages issues related to hybridized identities, intergenerational conflicts and trauma, diaspora, and representation. These writers explore Korean American woman’s identity and bear witness to women’s subjectivities and silenced histories. This dissertation hopes to contribute to the exposure and dissemination of these narratives.
