1970년대 여성노동자 재현 연구 - <우리들은 정의파다>와 <미싱타는 여자들>을 중심으로

Abstract

In Korea's modern and contemporary labor history, female workers in the 1970s were marginalized or omitted. The reason why female workers were marginalized in labor history is due to the fact that labor history was male-centered by male intellectuals after ‘1987 system’. In this way, the exclusion, marginalization, and non-representation of female workers in labor history are on a continuum with the absence of female workers of the 1970s in Korean film history. The Korean independent documentaries <We Are Not Defeated> and < Sewing Sisters>, which emerged after a long period of absence in the 2000s, are a mix of oral narratives/interviews and historical documents from participants in the democratic union movement of the 1970s. While <We Are Not Defeated>, which interweaves oral narratives, archives, and voices, and brings ‘us’ as the subject of collective memory to the forefront, focuses on activism, <Sewing Sisters> focuses on aesthetic methodologies such as performativity. This documentary film wants to participate in making public history through them.
