This dissertation examines multimodality in literary works distinguished by the formative role that visual images play-notably, in the use of photographs, which epitomize their documentary and quasi-documentary qualities-as well as the broader issues and political conflicts that the works serve as self-reflexively critical means for readers to engage. In these works, lived experience and history themselves seem to call for the attention the authors place on media through their hybrid texts, most evidently in events and struggles that precipitate crises in the status of documented fact.The multimodal, literary works of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Claudia Rankine constitute, in part, epistemologically nuanced responses to crises of this kind, informed by generative tensions between 'documentary knowledge' and the different forms of the 'fictive'-such as, fictions of identification-of which the artists avail themselves, accentuating the distinctly agential realm embodied in signal differences from the sheer documentary facticity variously evoked, questioned, and depended upon in the works. The kinds of practices that endow documentary fact, in different ways, with a liminal but no less constitutive role in the creation of singularly hybrid aesthetic forms-whose often poetically expressed motivations far exceed mere documentary representation-interest me in this dissertation and the readings I give in it of Cha's magnum opus Dictee (1982) and Rankine's landmark publication Citizen: An American Lyric (2014), which inform my engagement with their larger oeuvres. It is for the similarly rich hermeneutical implications of W. G. Sebald's experiments with the boundaries of fact and fiction-his incorporation of 'documentary' media (including fictionalized photographs) into his prose works shaped also by crisis-inducing events and struggles-that I offer a reading of Austerlitz (2001) that extends a discussion of subjectivity in the works of Cha and Rankine (notably in the generative relationships their texts elicit with the reader) to that of Sebald's unnamed narrator, whose contours, similarly, are discernible in the 'fictive' representation of the experiences of the eponymous character to which the narrator 'bears witness.'Special attention is given to issues of race, which underlie the conflicts foregrounded in all three of these artists' works.
