뉴욕의 혼종 가족들-다이애나 손의 『멈춰 키스』와 『위성들』에 나타난 탈 인종 정치성 = Interracial couples in New York: Post-Racial Politics in Stop Kiss and Satellites

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, I will examine the racial representation in Diana Son’s plays, Stop Kiss and Satellite. Stop Kiss has been considered as a so called post-racial drama by both mainstream theatre and Asian American theatre, as it seems to lack the typical racial agenda. This study’s first aim is to show that the post-racial representation of Stop Kiss still has the political effects. And that Satellites undermines the myth of the post-racial era with lots of racial issues—interracial marriage, inter-racial discrimination, intra-racial tension.
Secondly, I will delve into the politics of Diana son’s representation of interracial couples in both plays. In Stop Kiss, there is an interracial lesbian couple, a Korean American woman and a Caucasian woman. Satellites also has an interracial family, a Korean American wife, Afro-American husband and their mixed baby. I will show that these interracial couples break away from the stereotypical interracial couple’s image; an Asian woman and a Caucasian man couple. And that these interracial couples can be read as a metaphor for the change and the future of racial identity in America.
