일상‧비일상적 지식장과 젠더의 안티노미 - 2015 개정 교육과정 『고등학교 일본어Ⅰ‧Ⅱ』를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study is centered on considering ‘Gender’ in the aspect of a methodology to embody theories regarding ‘circuit of communication’ and ‘mutual coexistence’ between male and female, through the breakup or reconstitution of dichotomous logics and categories as ‘male vs. female,’ publicly explained as a reasonable and natural phenomenon in Japanese textbooks. First, daily Gender imbalance inherent in Japanese textbooks was examined in relation to the body. Second, Gender bias dichotomized into the subject and the other in Gender culture and traditional culture was examined. Third, the ‘Gender-Free’ possibility implicit in Japanese textbooks was abstracted by reading and thinking about ‘Gender’ theories in a way to create Gender-Free textbooks, which is the directing point of this study. As opposed to existing textbooks that contain a lot of descriptions as to the division of Gender roles between male and female, the textbooks revised in 2015 show cracks from inside the subject, suggesting that houseworks in daily lives need collaboration between male and female rather than belonging only to female. Further, female culture and male culture were found to be a universal culture of mankind, rather than limited to or specialized in the culture of either male or female. As male and female were set as company employees, ‘Trans-Gender,’ meaning a transition from ‘drawing a boundary’ between the territories of male and female to ‘crossing the boundary,’ was shown to enable the rearrangement into a new Gender. In addition, traditional culture in non-daily lives presented the possibility of Gender harmony which pursues ‘recognition of the other,’ not ‘denial of the other.’
