고정희 시에 나타난 여성의 억압과 여성해방의 가능성

Abstract

This paper attempts to apprehend the structure of women’s oppression and resistance in Ko Jung-hee’s poetry and to examine the possibility of women’s liberation. As is well known, the structure of women’s life and oppression is underlying the basis of the liberation of women in Ko Jung-hee’s poetry. In Ko Jung-hee’s poetry, the content of “mother” is revealed as a root of liberated humanity. This paper focuses on Ko Jung-hee’s presumption of the feminine nature at this point, first examines the relationship between Foucault’s prohibition and desire, and then supplements it through a discussion by Zizek, who pointed out Foucault’s limitations. If you think about this in connection with Ko Jung-hee’s poetry, the point is that the presumption of the feminine nature itself can soon become a passive resistance. Nevertheless, some excess beyond the power of oppression is bound to be revealed, and when active resistance beyond the power of oppression erupts, it opens up space for resistance. This paper paid attention to the “Things that can’t be named” that appeared in Ko Jung-hee’s poetry as beings with the possibility of true women’s liberation beyond the power of oppression. Ko Jung-hee emphasizes the importance of “naming” through an anecdote with her teacher, and thinks that “Another Culture” that she led should be carried out. Contrary to Ko Jung-hee’s will to naming, “Things that cannot be named” wander like ghosts in her poetry. Through them, this paper is meaningful in that it measures the possibility of true women’s liberation by identifying these excesses, which were not aware of “Things that can’t be named” unlike the direction that Ko Jung-hee pursued.
