‘여성혐오’의 문학문화사 - 젠더적 관점의 한국 근대문학문화사 서술을 위하여

Abstract

The book which chronicle the flow of Korean women's literature is rare. I would like to describe the overall flow of modern Korean women's literature in my own viewpoint, and to discuss the history of modern Korean women's culture and literature, with other scholars or researchers. Then, how do I describe the history of modern Korean women's literature? What is methodology? I aim to ①relate it to the problem of today, ②include history not only of women's literary works but also of men's, ③in addition, refer to history of culture. In order to achieve this aims, I suggest the concept of 'misogyny'. Misogyny is from the men's homo-sociality and irrational discrimination toward women. Men hate women when they feel anxiety and fear about women, because they are afraid of being threatened by women's social growth. By the way, in the writing of Ueno Chizuko, it is very interesting and important point that not only men but women also hate women themselves. As growing up, Ueno says, women are aware of self-hatred by patriarchal system. Thus, I suggest that we should also search the trace of women's self-hatred in women's writings which shows a process of women's growth, failure, overcome, and resist so on. And my starting point of study is “Women school establishment request(여학교 설시 통문)”(1898.9.1.)
