포스트모더니즘이라는 사상적 조류의 확산과 함께 여성의 글쓰기가 활발해지면서 오늘날 우리는 여성 에세이의 전성기를 맞고 있다. 여성은 이성중심주의 및 합리주의로 특징지어지는 지배규범에 반발하여, 에세이라는 자유로운 글쓰기 방식을 통해 자신의 경험을 기록해가고 있다. 이 글은 김정란의 「말의 귀환, 「거품 아래로 깊이, 김혜순의 「여성이 글을 쓴다는 것은을중심으로 에세이에 나타난 여성적 글쓰기의 특징을 살피고 있다. 이들의 에세이는 매우 지적인작업으로서, 여성성의 본칠과 여성의 말의 특징을 해명하고 나아가 여성적 글쓰기 방식을 전략적으로 제시해준다. 이들테면 김정란은 여성의 말이 비록 분열되고 파열된 상태로 발화되더라도, 그래서 심지어 '미친 언어로 취급될지라도 남성적 언어에 동화되지 말고 그 다양성을 끝까지지켜야 한다고 강조하고 있고, 김혜순은 '바리데기 연희' 를 구연하듯 여성의 말도 대화를통하여 끊임없이 여성성을 창조하고 완성해가야 한다는 첨을 강조한다. 이들의 에세이를 통해 발견할 수 있는 여성적 글쓰기의 특징은 크게 두 가지어다. 하나는 여성 시인이 에세이라는 산문적 장르에 가세함으로써 시적 언어클 적극적으로 활용하고 있다는점이고, 다른 하나는 편치나 자전적 에세이 등을 이용함으로써 궁극적으로는 타인과의 대화를모색하고 있다는 점이 그것이다. 여성 에세이의 운문적 속성이 강해지면 그것은 상상계적 언어, 혼자만의 언어에 미물기 쉬운데, 이러한 위험성을 모면하게 하는 것이 여성 에세이게 지닌 또다른 특징인 구비문학적 속성이다. 여성의 말의 확산은 사회 문화의 구조적 변화를 초래할 수도 있다. 이를 위해서는 여성들의섬세한 경험들을 더욱 적극적으로 도러내어야 하며, 걸으로 드러난 여성의 말과 글에서는 그인에 담긴 풍부한 메시지를을 읽어내어야 할 것이다.
Abstract
As you know, essays, dealing with ordinary daily lives, are a way of writing free from formality and logic. That is why essays seem familiar to females Females strive to prove their own existence through essay writing, revealing vividly their daily experiences. Essays have taken the role of revealing the distinctive dominant voice in a specific society according to whoever the exclusive writers are. In the past, essay writing seemed to belong solely to males. Females were treated as the others by males who monopolized knowledge and power. They were also denied the right to verbal expressions. As a result, they were kept out of the field of writing as well. Thus the emergence of prolific essays written by females could be seen as an indication of certain changes in the social structure. It is quite notable that there are many female poets writing essays these days, Essays have been understood as a type of prose. However, they have become tinged with poetic properties as many female poets get to write essays. Female essays were established neither due to purely artistic impulses, nor due to educative motives. Females are trying to recognize their own existence, that is, to extend their subjective way of life through essay writing. They have been forced to be silent, not by their own choice, but by outside pressures. Therefore, there are a variety of emotions permeated in the female verbal expressions. As essay writing could be a remedial measure to restore the damaged self, its strongly suggested that women should exploit essay writing earnestly. In addition, female essays carry the characteristics of the oral folk literature in that they are aiming for communication and relationship, It is this communicative feature of female essays that prevents them from indulging into an empty monologue due to their poetic element. Women want their experiences not to be confined in the past, but to be constantly reinterpreted over the present and future experiences. As I mentioned above, female essays are on the borderline between the prose and the verse. As the poetic feature of female essays grows intense, they could be locked up in the imaginary language, that is, the isolated language, It is the element of this oral folk literature, another feature of the female essays that enables t to avoid that risk. Ms, Hae-Soon Kim emphasizes that women should try to create and complete the femininity persistently in their verbal expressions through communication, as in 'Ba-ri-dae-gi' drama, Ms, Jeong-Lan Kim demands that women should maintain the diversity of female verbal expressions, not assimilated to the masculine language, even if they are not consistent and tom apart and thus treated as insane language. However its still complicated to suggest the model how to femininely write Thats due to the fact that the female verbal expressions are presumed diverse. This aspect could be both the potentiality and the limits of female verbal expressions. The task women are confronted with now is not to make up a new female language, but to reveal rather earnestly those subtle, delicate feminine experiences.
