초록
This study explores the resistance of bare life that can frustrate desire of prejudiced mainstream classes to dominate, control, and conquer the weak women in man-focused and white-centered society in The Vegetarian and Beloved. This paper, in the process, examines the meaning of governmentality of life focusing on not just survival, but restoration of life and self-realization of excluded lives to inculcate human values beyond absurdity and restriction of society. This is an attempt to newly analyze the meaning of absolute and prevalent power throughout society, which Han Kang and Toni Morrison have noted, and can convey the message that the absurdity of society can be rectified through the power of governmentality of real life. It leads to embodying the meaning of desire for the real body-power of human existence and the energy of life controlling of human spirit and soul. Each protagonist, Yeong-hye and Sethe in the two works, is ultimately reborn as a true subject of life with the spontaneity of desire and provides a new chance to interpret these novels in a sense of rebirth of life. This, in the end, proves that the exercise of irrational power by the mainstream and the ruling classes is to be neutralized in the face of the power of life and true love, enhancing the future value of these two novels.
Abstract
This study explores the resistance of bare life that can frustrate desire of prejudiced mainstream classes to dominate, control, and conquer the weak women in man-focused and white-centered society in The Vegetarian and Beloved. This paper, in the process, examines the meaning of governmentality of life focusing on not just survival, but restoration of life and self-realization of excluded lives to inculcate human values beyond absurdity and restriction of society. This is an attempt to newly analyze the meaning of absolute and prevalent power throughout society, which Han Kang and Toni Morrison have noted, and can convey the message that the absurdity of society can be rectified through the power of governmentality of real life. It leads to embodying the meaning of desire for the real body-power of human existence and the energy of life controlling of human spirit and soul. Each protagonist, Yeong-hye and Sethe in the two works, is ultimately reborn as a true subject of life with the spontaneity of desire and provides a new chance to interpret these novels in a sense of rebirth of life. This, in the end, proves that the exercise of irrational power by the mainstream and the ruling classes is to be neutralized in the face of the power of life and true love, enhancing the future value of these two novels.
