Hauntology, with luminous details

This thesis provides a literary translation of An Mirin’s poetry collection 눈부신 디테일의 유령론 (Moonji Publishing, 2022) from Korean into English. Often described as the “destroyer of grammar” in the Korean poetry scene, An Mirin’s poetics traverses between the boundary of the grammatical and the ungrammatical, creating senses that are hard to capture. Centered around “ghosts,” Hauntology, with Luminous Details examines such qualities of “ghostly-beings” while imagining an unforeseeable possibility of a future.
