현대중국 영화 속의 여성

Abstract

Women in modern Chinese movies Park, Jeong HeeIn modern Chinese cultural history, the subject of 'women' is a social and cultural concept that is covered or revealed continually or covered by radicals. It is to examine the image of Chinese women in the public culture in the course of establishing national country in the 20th century. The cultural concept of Chinese women doesn't show the women themselves but they are refigured with image. In the era of Mao, from 1950s to 1970s, women acquired their political and social rights and became the principal body that has equal right with the men in national country. But in the cultural area women are still repressed and discriminated. As they stood with the concept that 'women and men are equal' in historic stage, they faced the sate of 'no sex'. They weren't able to express their special existence and mental predicament. After 1980s, women started to escape from 'no sex' concept and recognized the difference of sexes. They started to express their stories. They don't see the image in public culture as the reality of women. They don't just reflect the difference of sexes. They focus on what structures the difference of sexes. They have to explain how the cultural images produce the image of 'women' and make the difference of sexes and how men can govern the women. With the tools of analysis, we can explain the meaning of modern Chinese 'women' that are expressed with variety of images. We can understand how these meanings are related to the other symbols in a ideology. It will show how modern Chinese 'women' can be revived as an image.
