젠더 갈등의 ‘선택적 혼종성’ 양상에 대한 신학‧ 윤리적 제언

Abstract

With an intensive concern on the ‘young-feminists’ who have rapidly grown as a protesting group against the existing patriarchal culture, this article analyzes their rising as a social phenomenon emerged in the late modern neoliberal Korean contexts. The young-feminists are women, for the first time in the history of modern Korea, who have strong self consciousness at massive scale, while they belong to the generation which has experienced harsh and competitive economic environments of the 21st century neoliberal Korea. Witnessing the ‘elective hybridity’ in the ‘mirroring strategy’ of the young-feminists, the combination of the feminist actions and the selective acceptance of profitable resources from the present patriarchal institutions and cultural presuppositions, however, this article worries about the possibility of reinforcing current neoliberal orders as the results of ‘elective hybridity’strategy. As an alternative feminist strategy for imaging and practicing a new group interaction, which would result in the advent of a gender- equal society, as a concluding remark, this article examines the concept of “the porosity of being,” the ontological ground of communicating with each other while retaining the boundary of an individual/an identity group.
