섹슈얼리티와 사적 욕망, 그리고 사회주의 서사의 균열 — 孫犁의 ＜鐵木前傳(1956)＞을 중심으로

Abstract

Tie Mu Qian Zhuan contains a message to actively join labor activities and to contribute to building ideal socialist China superficially. However, the end of the novel shows Maner who pursues her own happiness instead of being assimilated, reunion of Maner and Liuer, and their ‘road trip’, all of which indicate that there is ulterior narration structure differentiated from the superficial narration structure. In addition, in the ulterior narration structure, there is conflict between an individual, represented by Maner, and village people, and this conflict is originated from Maner’s sexuality and personal desire. Maner is not only free form the female appearance in the general socialism narration but also very complicated in the figure. Maner, who has complex aspect, seems skeptical about the socialism norms, and she also defies the suppressive norms by going on a road trip with beloved Liuer. Maner, who freely crosses social norms and orders with her sexuality and desire, causes crevice in the socialism narration in the novel. Maner represents outdated female that is never reformed from the socialism narration perspecrive of those days, but she can give catharsis of violation as she penetrates patriarchal suppression that socialism ideology has and lives freely following her desire.
