신자유주의 시대 속 정상 가족 이데올로기에 대항한 여성 연대의 상상력: 영화 <굿바이 싱글>을 중심으로

Abstract

The movie Goodbye Single (Familyhood) explores the possibilities of women’s solidarity as a counter-narrative to traditional family ideology in the neoliberal era. Initially, the protagonists internalize the dominant order and norms, but through various events, they witness and experience the inherent violence. In response, they form a new family structured based on women’s solidarity, challenging the ruling order. This solidarity is significant, as it highlights the normality of what has been considered abnormal. However, the depiction of women’s solidarity serves more as an imaginative construct rather than a feasible concrete form. The solidarity the female figures create signifies a break with “normality” while emphasizing the boundaries of “abnormality.” Additionally, the character Ko Ju-yeon is portrayed as a unique character with some flaws that she is less realistic and even shows contradictions by simultaneously opposing and embodying the ruling order. To achieve feasible solidarity, this article suggests the necessary of analyzing and reevaluating the concepts of coexistence and solidarity embodied in this film, which can have a tangible impact on reality.
