이상 시에 나타나는 수행적 젠더 정체성

Abstract

This study analyzes gender possibility which appeared in Lee Sang's poems through gender theory. The gender that appears in Lee Sang's poetry does not appear simply as a fixed gender. In Lee Sang's poetry resistance and obedience to the call of law are repeated, creating and changing the possibility of a new identity. Recognizing that gender is the secondary constituent of institutional discourse, it can resist the consistency and continuity of gender, and find new gender possibilities in change. Through the gendered reading that has been interpreted from the perspective of the fixed gender, this study expands the possibility of interpretation and understand the inherent problem consciousness and meaning. Gender is composed of culture and society. Cultural gender production has required masculinity for men and femininity for women. The characteristics inherent in biological sex assume the same continuity of human body, identity, and sexual desire. Therefore, gender is made socially and emerges within the dichotomy of women and men. The human does not fully follow normative power, and gender is defined through practice. The practice of gender does not follow absolute essence and absoluteness but manifests itself in the structures produced by power. Therefore, gender is a non-stationary, unstable, changeable phenomenon, and it is merely a performance method that is repeatedly acted upon. The subjects appearing in Lee Sang's poetry constitute identity by repeating obedience and resistance to the call of law. Complete submission to the ideological calling does not have complete resistance, and the subject who plays a dual role uncovers the possibility of subversion of gender. The subjects in Lee Sang’s poetry should be recognized as culturally discontented genders without recognizing them as one gender. The subject of abalone create the area of queer and produces various gender possibilities.
