<해녀 노 젓는 소리>에 나타난 에코페미니즘 양상

Abstract

Nature is a series of process of will that wishes to constantly live. Among them, women divers are female group with strong power that has lived in the nature from the past. Even though they are physically weak women, they show superhuman power that collects various sea foods under the sea, fighting against tough sea and dives up to 20 meters without special devices. Their perception can be considered in connection with ecofeminism of today that is presented in <women divers’ rowing song> among them, and today’s ecofeminism awakens the importance of ecology directly connected to femininity, not man-oriented power dispute and war aspect. Therefore, ecofeminism that is translated with ‘Environmental Feminism’ takes center stage as a new value system. Ecofeminism is the philosophy focusing on females who are main characters of reproduction of more fundamental life. Females are the basis of universe, not women. Male’s productivism exposed its limitation in many aspects. Ecofeminism is very essential today because rationalism has been once emphasized. <Women’s rowing sound> explicitly shows women’s strong vitality and sense in the background of sea. Traits contained in the space of sea can be considered in connection with women’s maternal instinct, and a natural space may be considered in the sense of circulation and coexistence. In addition, healing and introspection of their life can be identified through <women’s rowing sound> made by them. In this sense, <women’s rowing sound> is a genre connected beyond the time and space, and a common and individual, valuable work that is newly created from time to time.
