AB - This study analyzes Hoi-sung Lee’s Travelers for One Hundred Years and examines patterns of narrative transference that played crucial roles in constructing the Zainichi as a social identity. Transference is an existential process through which social phenomena trigger epistemological self-discovery. Through this process, Zainichi identity served as a vessel of hope through imperialist conquests, totalitarianism, and during the Cold War. Set in 1947, Travelers for One Hundred Years narrates the transference responsible for solidifying Zainichi and recounts the detention of Chosun people who went from Sakhalin to Japan after WWII. This period marked the start of a new world order with the collapse of imperialism and the transition to a world polarized by ideology. It was this dynamic that prompted the transference leading to Zainichi as a salient identity and as a dynamic means of survival. Starting from Sakhalin’s changing significance (Ch. 1), patterns of transference thread together new narrative and historically contextualized accounts (Ch. 2), which eventually lead the Zainichi to see their experiences as socially interconnected in ways that transcended framed through nation-state affiliation (Ch. 3). Confession became a means of resisting the state (Ch. 4) and eventually created a new imagined view of Zainichi as permanent ‘travelers’ (Ch. 5). It was through these transference processes and reimaginations of their geographies and how they fit in them that the Zainichi solidified an identity that remained salient yet impervious to complete nation-state envelopment.
