Abstract

This study aims to analyse the representation of Zainichi as Subalterns in Min Jin
Lee's Pachinko. The subject of the subalterns is the Korean diaspora, who are
struggling against oppression, marginalization, and discrimination in Japanese
society. The researcher uses descriptive and qualitative research methods, while
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's subaltern theory has been applied to the selected
text. The data will be taken from many aspects such as dialogues, depiction of the
situation or event, characters, etc. This study analysed two problems: (1) How is
the representation of Zainichi as Subalterns in Min Jin Lee's Pachinko? (2) How
is the subaltern resisting the impact of subalternity in Min Jin Lee's Pachinko?
First, the results of this study reveal that the form of discrimination and
marginalization experienced by Zainichi are indicative of the existence of
subalternity in Japan, which was represented in the Pachinko written by Min Jin
Lee. Secondly, this research reveals that hybridity and ethical politics became
Zainichi's way of speaking out as a form of resistance to subalternity. Moreover,
the Korean diaspora and their descendants represented the subalterns in Pachinko.
At the same time, women are considered inferior to men and people who have
ideologies and beliefs that are different from Japanese ideology. This study is
fascinating because subaltern issues exist long after the postcolonial period.
