초록

This paper analyzes ‘Space’ in How I learned To Drive by Paula Vogel, from the perspectives of the power, Jouissance, and feminist narratives, based on Lacan’s concepts. The main space is the vehicle, where Li’l Bit, an 11-year-old girl, learns to drive from Peck, aunt’s husband. This man performed sexual harassment on Li’l Bit. Peck controls Li’l Bit in the closed vehicle space which is operated by power structure. Peck is ‘subject supposed to know’, Lacan’s psychoanalytic concept, which means, through the transference Peck as analyst, exercises his power over Li’l Bit as analysand. As Li’l Bit grows older and can drive a car, however, she realizes he is not ‘subject to know’ and the power structure is reversed through the counter-transference. The vehicle acts as the space of Jouissance, in which Peck pursues to achieve an erotic ecstasy beyond the pleasure principle. Peck’s basement studio is also the space of Jouissance, where Peck takes a picture of Li’l Bit and enjoys taking peeps at her body. It is in the kitchen where Li’l Bit, her mother, and her grandmother share their opinions and reveal their voices against men. This serves a function of space of feminist’s narratives.

Abstract

This paper analyzes ‘Space’ in How I learned To Drive by Paula Vogel, from the perspectives of the power, Jouissance, and feminist narratives, based on Lacan’s concepts. The main space is the vehicle, where Li’l Bit, an 11-year-old girl, learns to drive from Peck, aunt’s husband. This man performed sexual harassment on Li’l Bit. Peck controls Li’l Bit in the closed vehicle space which is operated by power structure. Peck is ‘subject supposed to know’, Lacan’s psychoanalytic concept, which means, through the transference Peck as analyst, exercises his power over Li’l Bit as analysand. As Li’l Bit grows older and can drive a car, however, she realizes he is not ‘subject to know’ and the power structure is reversed through the counter-transference. The vehicle acts as the space of Jouissance, in which Peck pursues to achieve an erotic ecstasy beyond the pleasure principle. Peck’s basement studio is also the space of Jouissance, where Peck takes a picture of Li’l Bit and enjoys taking peeps at her body. It is in the kitchen where Li’l Bit, her mother, and her grandmother share their opinions and reveal their voices against men. This serves a function of space of feminist’s narratives.
