I come from a land of neocolonial fratricide. I come from such twoness. I speak as a twin. The US established a temporary military rule of Korea from 1945 to 1948 and has never left… In time of war, the US military has operational control over South Korean forces. And since we are still technically at war, we are also technically and perpetually under US military command. I come from such neocolony. Since the end of the Korean War, the US and South Korea have carried out joint military exercises. The names of these joint exercises are worthy of our attention as translators: Counterblow, Strong Shield, Focus Lens, Team Spirit, RSO&I (Reception, Staging, Onward Movement and Integration), Key Resolve, Foal Eagle. These are neocolonial joints, hybrids, spirits—these are “order-words” to use Deleuze & Guattari’s term. I cross such order-words and map them, and superimpose another kind of map, my translations of Kim Hyesoon’s poetry. For me, Benjamin’s “Translation is a mode” must be jointed with “Translation is an anti-neocolonial mode.” I must speak as a twin.
