1980년대, 바리케이트 뒤편의 성(性) 전쟁과 여성해방문학 운동

Abstract

The 1980’s when the general public had strong memories of absolute power is the period in a fight that conscientious citizens disobeyed the oppressive government power. The time was the period of a political revolution when a mass rally and a street demonstration were daily ritual and the regime was succumbed by them, namely, the 1987 was the period when the June 10 uprising sparkled. Who, however, have the memory of the freedom was just university students or male works; there was no the marks of female. When we recall the female workers that took lead the democratic trade union movement, the female college students joined in the movement leaving family and many women’s organization joined in the reform movement, it can be said that the 1980’s was a period to vanish women from history. It is important that people were not paying much attention to the gender war behind the barricade for democracy. The memory of woman liberation movement against bigotry of democracy, such as participation in reform movement or other way, has been erasing. Such erasing or forgetting is not coincidence that we should take lightly. As the 1980’s was habitus for cultural and political hegemony of the specific class, democracy was privatized. Finding the marks that was erased calculatedly or forgotten in the memory of history is a resistance to what the small group had a monopoly of democracy. This article tried to review the meaning of challenge and experiment of women’s sexual liberation literature movement that was conducted during the Mook in 80’s. In the 80’s the Mook, such as Women, Another Culture, Feminine Campaign and Literature, related with women’s liberation literature had small number and had a short period of publication. However, as the Mook, Women literature magazines, was an independent media, attacked the patriarchal system of history of literature that admitted the works written by only men as a history, training the women writers to discriminate sexually women’s writing as “a Lady literature” or “a female literature”, it showed a grand and radical challenge to discover feminist knowledge and cultural language. The Mook was a space to express feminist criticism, and then Another Culture－Women liberation literature, Feminine Campaign and Literature were a “Feminist Anthology” that introduced at first. The work to find the marks of women that was classified or erased intentionally from history or history of literature in the 80’s is a women’s fight of memory, at the same moment, to make a history of women’s knowledge and women’s language. However, this paper focused on the dilemma of the advanced women literature group, which was formed during a period of political chaos, and reviewed the limit of women liberation literature.
