In this paper, I intend to make clear the violences that were inflicted on the bodies of women and explore their contemporary aspects and significations in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Women. The sexual exploitation of women’s bodies, intimately related with the sexual desire of men, has brought about discourses of subalterns in territories of economy, society, and politics. It seems to be inevitable, though not intentionally, that official and dominant narratives wipe out mournful stories of slaves from history. Secondly, this paper deals with the reason why voices of oppressed people are getting political in nature, while comparing the situations in which African-Americans and comfort women were placed. Lastly, this paper inquires into the way that the re-memory could transform what have been inscribed on the wounded bodies of women into narrative forms. In doing so, it demonstrates that their personal stories are filled with emotions such as shame and humiliation and sadness, which should be transmitted to have interactive relations with others and resist against everything that violates and exploits those relations.
Abstract
In this paper, I intend to make clear the violences that were inflicted on the bodies of women and explore their contemporary aspects and significations in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Women. The sexual exploitation of women’s bodies, intimately related with the sexual desire of men, has brought about discourses of subalterns in territories of economy, society, and politics. It seems to be inevitable, though not intentionally, that official and dominant narratives wipe out mournful stories of slaves from history. Secondly, this paper deals with the reason why voices of oppressed people are getting political in nature, while comparing the situations in which African-Americans and comfort women were placed. Lastly, this paper inquires into the way that the re-memory could transform what have been inscribed on the wounded bodies of women into narrative forms. In doing so, it demonstrates that their personal stories are filled with emotions such as shame and humiliation and sadness, which should be transmitted to have interactive relations with others and resist against everything that violates and exploits those relations.
