당사자성의 무대 재현과 정동의 윤리

Abstract

In this article, we analyze the theater of the first－person in Korea and examine the problem of authenticity required in the representation of the stage of the first－person and the ethics of the empathy of the audience. Recently, the stage of the Korean theater is strongly inclined to realize the so－called “the first－person(당사자).” The concept of the first－person is expanding to people who have a problem or who are primarily and directly involved in something, in the sense that a person with a minority identity verbalizes his experience and speaks his voice, and the stage in which the first－person is embodied is particularly evident in the tendency that subalterns tend to be selected when they try to speak their experiences themselves. The concept of the first－person implies the social movement from the composition of the concept. However, the attitude that only the first－person can understand the problem of own self is likely to create a distinction between the first－person and the non first－person. In particular, in a situation where the person is recognized as the first－person only if he or she feels pain of a certain standard size, the question of who judges the magnitude of pain and whether the magnitude of pain can be quantitatively judged should be discussed in relation to the subject of empathy. In this context, this article noted that the realization of the first－person on stage can be completed when the ethics of the audience listening to what is represented as much as the ethical representation of the otherness is considered together. In other words, the mechanism of meaning production that the audience forms a relationship with the social suffering of the first－person represented on the stage, rather than the ethical representation of the attribution of the first－person, was examined in the ethical aspect. In particular, it suggested that the ethical relationship between the first－person and the audience, that is, the sympathetic anxiety that can be evoked through the affection, can be ethical practice.
