☆ Tentative abstract of Keynote Speech：“Maxine Hong Kingston in a Global Frame” by Sau-ling Wong (UC Berkeley)
Since its publication a little over a quarter century ago, Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior has been canonized as an integral part of contemporary American literature, which means that it is being read and studied all over the world wherever there are programs in American literature. I am interested in what happens to the text and the institutional location with which it has been most closely associated in the U.S.―Asian American literary studies, a “minority” critical practice? when the text goes abroad. At times there are “Asian connections” overseas, e.g., connections through culture or language, but often it is institutional mediation through the American nation-state that makes possible the study of this “minority” text. What aspects of the book are brought out in each case? What uses is it put to? I would like to compare the reception of The Woman Warrior in several parts of the world and reflect upon canon formation and cultural pedagogy based on my findings.
☆ Abstract of Special Lecture：“Asian American Literary Studies in Korea” by Kun Jong Lee (Korea University)
Korean literary scholars’ interest in Asian American literature is a fairly recent phenomenon. It was in 1994 that the first scholarly paper on Asian American literature was published in Korea. Despite such a short history, however, Asian American literary studies has been an ever-growing area in English studies. A review of the published papers will reveal the achievements and limitations of Asian American literary studies in Korea. Korean scholars have manifested a profound imbalance of interest and emphasis in their studies of Asian American literature. They have focused too much on Korean American literature and Chinese American literature; Japanese American literature and Filipino American literature have not been properly studied; and no South East Asian American and South Asian American text has drawn any interest from Korean scholars. No less problematically, the topics of the papers are almost the same as those of the papers published in other countries and, in a sense, have failed to show the quintessentially Korean perspectives. Partly to demonstrate how a Korean scholar might make a substantial contribution to the study of Korean American texts, I will discuss Younghill Kang’s Murder in the Royal Palace, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee, Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Woman, and Heinz Insu Fenkl’s Memories of My Ghost Brother.
