  • Accessing an Archive of Korean/American Constructions
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MEGATEXTUAL READINGS: ACCESSING AN ARCHIVE OF KOREAN/AMERICAN CONSTRUCTIONS Tracy Chung, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor Kandice Chuh Department of English This dissertation formulates an approach to reading Korean/American narratives through what I call a “megatext” in order to understand the uneven and dynamic production of Korean/Americanness. By advancing a “megatextual” approach to conceiving of identity and politics, I argue for a way of addressing the critical gap Asian Americanist practitioners continue to witness between activist demands for social justice and scholarly articulations of those demands. A megatextual approach seeks to be an alternative reading practice that bridges different realms of knowledge production. Megatexts argue for a practice of reading across an archive in which texts are actively cross-referencing each other. This approach is essential to the way we apprehend knowledge in the current economy. I define the overarching term “megatext” as a rewritable archive of information and meaning within which the processes of archiving and interpretation are taking place at the same time. I identify particular theoretical concepts leading into my formulation of megatexts and argue the political significance of this approach in terms of Asian American studies and public intellectualism. Then, I define and apply the term “Korean/American” in order to refer to the broad body of work constituting here a “Korean/American megatext.” The convergences among the various discourses referenced by megatexts demonstrate how they are useful for bridging different realms. Lastly, I identify the significant constructions of “Korea” in the media as impacting Korean/American ethnic identity formations in order to establish my focus on contemporary Korean/Americanness.
