My study delineates the persistence of a predominant nostalgic mode and the affect of orphanhood, in the literary and visual texts of East Asia and its Diaspora---Japan, South Korea and the People's Republic of China and their Diaspora in the West---which I will describe as "the sensibility of the adopted." In my dissertation, I import Kirby Farrell's understanding of trauma as an imaginative trope that reflects the shock of modernization and a post-traumatic mode that is conveyed through narrative structures. I also apply Cathy Caruth's psychoanalytical approach, which is to consider stories of trauma as a belated experience, which reflects the characteristics of trauma itself, incomprehensible but returning to haunt the survivor. I argue that the pervasive nostalgic mode and the affect of orphanhood created through the selected narratives of trauma, of grieving the loss and striving in vain to recover it, constitutes a compensatory attempt to reshape and recover from the trauma of postwar nation-building.

In my dissertation, I import Kirby Farrell's understanding of trauma as an imaginative trope that reflects the shock of modernization and a post-traumatic mode that is conveyed through narrative structures.

520 $a My dissertation is comprised of four chapters---the first chapter on the extreme cinemas of South Korea, the second on the horror and extreme cinemas of Japan, the third on novels of diasporic writers of East Asian descent living in the West, and the fourth on transnational art films from China. These four chapters deal literally and figuratively with issues surrounding traumatized childhood and youth---in particular the recurring motif of the orphaned and a metaphor for the transcultural adoption of Western modernity in East Asia and its Diaspora.
520 $a Each chapter has a different focus on the ways in which narratives of trauma are structured, creating the post-traumatic mode, and the ways in which the impact of incomprehensible traumatic events is transmitted through various tactile and/or empathic paths, yet the four chapters are developed conceptually and interrelated across the themes they explore. In these generically and nationally organized chapters, I analyze the ways in which the thematic representations of the traumatized share a bridging of aesthetics and ethics, poetics and politics.
