Act One reveals how realist form produces exhaustive visibility while withholding epistemic authority, as A’s memories, pain, and speech circulate only as material to be interpreted, corrected, or stabilized by others. Act Two fractures this regime by splitting A into simultaneous temporal figures, severing the realist alignment between body, subject, and linear interiority. With the disappearance of the mannequin-body, the play moves beyond interpretive frameworks oriented toward reconciliation or moral reckoning, exposing coherence itself as a regulatory demand rather than a narrative achievement. Instead, this play insists that the woman at its center can appear only when the mimetic structures designed to represent her collapse. Albee’s late theatre thus uses formal rupture to make visible the limits of realism’s gendered grammar and the epistemic violence it sustains. ]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:44:57 +0000 Pachinko’s transnationalism as neoliberal incorporation strategy. Initially, Sunja and the boarding house emerge as colonial Korea’s subalterns who forge transnational solidarity with Japanese subalterns after migration. While the narrative exposes imperial Japan's colonial legacy through second-generation discrimination by the model minority myth and cultural racism, its technique—backgrounding history while foregrounding the Sunja family's exemplary trajectory—conflates Zainichi Koreans and Korean Americans as a unified “Korean diaspora” by third-generation experiences of racial neoliberalism. This obscures their divergent conditions: post-1965 South Korean migration both resulted from and fueled U.S.-led global economic restructuring, while disenfranchised Zainichi were compelled to register as North or South Korean under Cold War imperatives. Since nationality operates as a symbolic passport determining migratory access within U.S. hegemonic projects, “Transnational” designates only those permitted mobility under neoliberal order. By rendering Zainichi nationality as personal choice rather than neoliberal imposition, the novel dehistoricizes and epistemologically silences Zainichi realities.]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:43:20 +0000 James, a creative rewriting of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, within the contemporary controversy over Critical Race Theory, reading it as a counter-narrative that dismantles the myths of American innocence. Against the backdrop of fierce political debates about race, history, and education, Everett examines both the racial foundations of American identity and the significance of historical remembrance. Focusing on Jim’s arduous journey to create and express his selfhood through writing, Everett examines the historical injustice that the anti-CRT movement ignores while reclaiming authorship and subjectivity for the enslaved. By performing a meta-textual conversation with the American canon, James exposes the contradictions of the nation’s foundational ideas and its system and asserts the necessity of confronting the nation’s racial past through writing and listening to others’ stories. Ultimately, Everett’s novel demonstrates the urgent need for critical dialogue amid the ongoing backlash against racial education.]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:42:00 +0000 Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:40:03 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:22:08 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:20:28 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:16:26 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:14:39 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:09:50 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:05:02 +0000 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:03:49 +0000 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 09:32:10 +0000 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 09:30:26 +0000 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:32:45 +0000 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:31:43 +0000 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:30:46 +0000 Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:29:33 +0000
