일본군 위안부의 ‘주체화’에 관한 고찰

Abstract

This paper focuses on the ontological limit of comfort women or the structural situation of politics and society, which is stipulated by the “we cannot speak” socially vulnerable people, from the perspective of the mainstreaming of the comfort women issue. This study examines the process of overcoming such a situation and transforming itself from being a private individual into a social subject in relation to athletic groups. So far, the activity on comfort women in both Korea and Japan have been carried out from the perspective of wartime sexual violence, sexual slavery, women’s human rights and so on. In particular, the comfort women activity, which started in the latter half of the 1980s in the course of women’s human rights activities, has been developed in the 1990s with the strengthening of nationalist discourse and the leadership of the Mutual Cooperation. It was In the process, the memory and epic of the individual, which stands out from the huge discourse of the people and the nation, was forgotten or intentionally excluded. Therefore, in this paper, the “the activity” of civic activity groups is examined by comparing the comfort women victims who have been excluded or disregarded from the discourse formation process of ethnicity and nation to the victims who were at the center of discourse formation. By doing so, the comfort women activity centered on the process by which the comfort women victims, who had only been vulnerable to society, changed into political and social actors Point out the limitations and problems of. Through this, I would like to broaden the understanding of the comfort women issue in the Korean society at present and present the “correct” direction of the comfort women activity in the future.
