Translation is an act occurring when two or more languages come into contact with each other, so it is based on otherness. And the otherness can come into the foreground or go to the background depending on the purpose of the translation or politics, power or ideological relationship that surrounds the translation. The relationship between linguistic subject and other has long been studied, and it is based on the assumption that the source text and the target text are written in one homogeneous language. However, deterritorialization and denationalization of literature that started from the end of colonialism present new translation issues that cannot be explained from the perspective of subject and other. Diaspora literature, which is written in other languages by diaspora who left their home country and settled in other countries, is situated in a “third space” and is born on the boundary between the residing country and home country, center and periphery, and assimilation and resistance, and one of its characteristics is linguistic hybridity. Especially, in the case of Korean diaspora literature in Japan, linguistic hybridity has resisting power that subverts the hierarchy between the imperial language and nation language and is directly linked to the identity of the diaspora since Korean diaspora literature in Japan implies contact, conflict and dynamics between the two languages. Through “The Other Side of August” by Yu Miri and “The Volcanic Island” by Kim Seokbeom, which are postcolonial hybrid texts, this study investigates how linguistic hybridity appears in these texts and how it is changed in the process of translation into Korean to deal with translation issues presented by hybrid texts and examine the possibility of translation of linguistic hybridity.
