A MINOR MODERNIST’S CONUNDRUM OF REPRESENTATION: Kim Saryang and the Colonized I-Novel

This chapter explores what I call the conundrum of representation widely manifest in artistic expressions of minor modernism. The negotiations of colonial modern writer Kim Saryang from Korea with the metropolitan literary establishment of imperial Japan offer insights into broader global struggles of modernist authors and artists attempting to express their creative sovereignty in the face of structural inequality and devaluation of their artistic contributions. The chapter theorizes the concept of a “colonized I-novel” as a manifestation of ethnoracialized impasses and injunctions encountered in minor modernist expressions of the self as other.
