ABSTRACT

This article is to examine how Oh Jung-hee’s novel Chinese Street focuses on migrants on the border after the Korean War from the perspective of mobility. While the focus of modern mobility is on means of transportation, this article focuses on the physical, social, geographical, and physical movements of migrants who have not been suffi ciently studied by textual research. John Urry’s book Mobility discusses the joy and pain people get from moving, which come from people, things, and information. While previous studies have focused on the delicate representation of middle-aged women in Oh’s novels, this article examines how the geographical movement of ‘father’ and the process of physical movement of ‘I’ are depicted. Th erefore, this paper presents various and new horizon movements in the backdrop of Chinese Street.
