Theory and approaches
Summary
This case study examines how two Korean adolescents of mixed parentage—treated as a “problem” in society—resisted simplistic membership boundaries, negotiated their identities, and took a step forward into the unspeakable and the untranslatable. I argue that through their multilingual and multicultural resources, they are becoming intercultural subjects.
