팔루스에 대한 여성 욕망과 유동하는 정체성 –신경숙 은희경 전경린의 소설을 중심으로

Abstract

In Shin Gyeong-sook’s novel, the gender of female characters is one that lacks pleasure due to depression. The female characters desire the male phallus but leave their own pleasures unfulfilled by withdrawing their own desire. This female identity that lacks pleasure functions to strengthen the ideology of patriarchy by aligning with the traditional motherhood demanded by patriarchal society. In Eun Hee-Gyeong’s novel, female characters possess a gender identity defined by the denial of pleasure through repeated obedience. This character desires male phallus but escapes into the autistic world, making herself into an inferior individual. The feminine subjective of pleasure exclusion leads to barren sex after imprisonment in a mental hospital. That results in the dismantling of the family. In Jeon Gyeong-lin’s novel, a female character parodies the male phallus, resulting in feminine identity of excess pleasure. This female character desires the male phallus and becomes a being of sexual excess. This is a parody of the free sexual relationship of male characters. This parody has the effect of denying men’s sexual authority and breaking down the hierarchy between men and women. Feminine identity that is defined by excessive pleasure repeats sexual adventures by falling deeply into sex. As such, women’s identities show that gender identity is formed differently depending on the way women reveal their pleasure in their desire for Phallus. They are not single or fixed but rather reveal the fluidity of women’s identities.
