- 요약"Conjuring Unruly Subjects" is a critical memoir that explores the stigmatized practice of female mediumship in both its supernatural and ordinary forms. Through the auto-ethnographic narratives of my Korean shaman family, I attempt to give a tangible form to what has been excluded from the social-ideas, forces, or bodies that do not easily fit in categories and are thus rendered invisible like ghosts. My goal is to contaminate the sanitized discourse of history and modernity with narratives and images of its violent traces with liberating entanglement. The haunting stories of transgenerational trauma and historical violence I tell here point to the unspeakable that makes up the atmosphere of the present. Many of these stories are often about mediation of such spectral trauma. At the same time, they are also mediums through which people make sense of the ghosts they carry. Thus, this dissertation itself acts as a mediating body through which I summon the ghosts and perform a sense of haunting. In this mimetic attempt to closely track one's object of study, the ghosts appear as unknown visitors who point at something erased and hidden in a palimpsest that is the present.Here, I approach mediumship not only as a specialized practice of shamans in South Korea that is excluded from modernity, but more broadly as an ordinarily poetic experience of entanglement and alienation that is part of modernity. For instance, mothering is an ordinary yet sacred experience that many non-shamans embrace, and treating it this way is a rupture that allows us to understand mothering as an expanded mode of embodying otherness. To draw such parallels between the ghostly and the normal, I tell stories that are often not what they seem; they acquire a multitude of parallel meanings and associations once they are read as allegories of something else-being dangerously close to the margin, being nowhere and everywhere, being indefinable, and thus being ungovernable in both sacred and quotidian ways. In this way, I treat the supernatural not as something that exists elsewhere but as something very ordinary and is within us, in our mundane world.
