| Abstract | Drawn from Su Yun Kim’s recent book, Imperial Romance: Fictions of Colonial Intimacy in Korea, 1905–1945 (Cornell UP, 2020), this talk discusses three literary works about Korean-Japanese intermarriage, romance, and mixed-race family published during the Japanese colonial era by the famous Korean authors Yi Injik, Yi Kwangsu, and Yi Hyosŏk. These stories focus on Korean men’s intimate and familial relationships with Japanese women while allowing us to explore how Korean men might have felt about becoming proper imperial subjects. This romance literature sheds a new light on the interconnection between gender, race, and imperialism, revealing the colonial male elites’ desire to rise in the imperial hierarchy and to claim their agency within Japanese and global imperialism. |
