윤성희 소설의 책임 윤리와 생태 미학 : 단편소설집 『거기, 당신?』과 『감기』를 대상으로

Abstract

This thesis started with a critical mind that Yun Seong-hee's novels focus on the ethics of the other and the ethics of relationships, and examined their ecological meaning from the perspective of ecofeminism, focusing on the motifs of 'joining' and 'contact' appearing in her novels. In particular, if the core content of these motifs indicative of Western ideal philosophy represented by Descartes is to consider the body and mind as two separate entities and exclude the body, ecofeminism raises questions and tries to resist. Ecofeminism values sympathy based on the sense of touch and respect and consideration for each other as core values. When talking about the ethics of Yun Seong-hee's novels, it is worth referring to the 'this fact of my non-alibi in Being' that the subject has no alibi to avoid taking responsibility for responding to and taking responsibility for others. It is conscious of both the dimension of art and the dimension of aesthetic empathy. If Yun Seong-hee's novel imagines and creates a network of community that is connected to caring and conversational relationships, guilt and responsibility for heteronomous wounds, and gift relationships that can be seen as constant interest in others, then what happens successfully in her novel world Aesthetic empathy allows the subject to approve 'responsibility to respond (non-alibi)' to the extent of being conscious of the other calling himself, not intellectually, but sympathetically. Based on the creed of ecofeminism that the attitude of human beings toward the human other is linked to the human being's treatment of the natural other, it is necessary for the subject to participate in responsibility ethics from the point of view of 'my non-alibi', whether it is the human other or the natural other. In that context, the succession of gifts in Yun Seong-hee's novels makes us contemplate the possibility of transition from economic humans to ecological humans. If you are an individual owned by economic human beings, a product of modern capitalism, ecological human beings of eco/feminism, a product of postmodernism, pledge to coexist as mutually dependent beings feeling the need to take responsibility for thoughtful and continuous respect and consideration for all living beings. do. The motif of guilt and gift in Yun Seong-hee's novel raises questions about the selfish individualism of economic people and embodies the imaginable mutual relationship and responsibility ethics of ecological people. In that sense, Yun Seong-hee's novels are good examples that not only open up the possibility of reading ecofeminism, but also show the possibility of ecofeminism's ethical-aesthetic construction.
