  • This paper examines narratives of women's marginal position in Bao Ninh's Short Stories and Svetlana Alexievich's Unwomanly Face of War from a feminist narratological approach. In analyzing voices of marginalized women, direct and indirect descriptions of women's beauty and pain, and private-public narratives of women's love stories, this paper aims to identify presentations of women's real authority in the text written by a male author, Bao Ninh, and in the one by a female author. The paper argues that juxtaposing these texts reveals an overturn of the traditional conception of sexual and gender differences. Specifically, distinguishing between male/female discourse does not show powerful /nonpowerful language, but recognizes the real authority of each type of discourse based on sexual differences. The writing also illustrates that masculine language becomes powerless and deficient in the women's world; meanwhile, in writing about herself, woman establishes a type of a powerful feminine discourse, which blends both emotional, enthusiastic, and gossipy characteristics of female language and direct, rational, and strong ones of male language. Thus, the feminists' radical segregation on male/female discourses to overturn masculine authority and create a language for women at par with men has been clearly shifted when comparing the two writers' texts based on the juxtapositional model of the comparative literature.

  • This paper examines the discourse of masturbation in modern England and aims to re-draw the map of male sexuality related to such issues as nation, empire, family, and economy. It argues that the discourse of masturbation in modern England reflects national anxieties for the future of empire and an economic concern for unproductive sexual behavior, which were the main factors to transform masturbation into "solitary vice." The anxieties about empire and British dominance were constituted as the core of the anti-masturbation discourse on the boys. The imperial destiny was regarded to depend on the protection of the middle- and upper-class boys from the harmful psychological and physiological effects of masturbation represented in Lawrence's "The Rocking-Horse Winner." In the case of a single male, the concern for masturbation is constructed as a concern about economy, family, and human solidarity. As seen in Eliot's Silas Marner, the act of masturbation was condemned as the fulfillment of illegitimate sexual desire outside the familial sphere and a commercial economy, and thus without the possibility of human community. Silas Marner and Meredith's The Ordeal of Richard Feverel show the ways of reconstituting sexual others as normalized subjects: Boys were forced to be asexual through the regime of surveillance; and a single male was required to enroll in a remedial course on familial respectability.

Foucault의 후기구조주의적 시각에서 본 19세기 패션에 표현된 성 - 19세기 중.후반 남녀 주류 패션과 반패션에 나타난 여성성과 남성성을 중심으로 - (Sexuality Expressed in the 19C Fashion in Foucauldian Post-Structural Perspective - Focusing on Femininity and Masculinity Represented in the Mainstream Fashion and Anti-Fashion in the Middle and Latter of the Nineteenth Century -)

  • The purpose of this study was to understand sexuality expressed in fashion in a discursive view and reinterpret sexuality represented in fashion in the 19th century in Foucauldian post-structural perspective. As for methodology, at first the conception of sexuality was examined from structural feminism to post-structural pluralism by a literature review and discussed in relation with the matters of body and fashion on the basis of Foucault's discourse. Then, sexuality represented in the 19C fashion as a case study was re-estimated in terms of power relationship between dominant and oppositional discourses and mainstream fashion and anti-fashion as well. The conception of sexuality in Foucauldian post-structuralism maintains the view of plural sexuality, which floats by discourse and power produced in a specific historical context. In the Foucauldian perspective sexuality expressed in the mainstream fashion and anti-fashion in the nineteenth century shows the following aspects. The mainstream fashion in the middle and latter of the 19C made the clear sexual difference in dress of plain and functional male suit and extravagant and decorative female dress on the center of bourgeois masculinity in the context of modernity and capitalism. Although anti-fashion was also co-existed with the mainstream fashion, it was criticized by the Victorian people. It codifies sexual ideology of the binary opposition of male domination and female subordination. Therefore, the traditional sexual ideology in the 19C is a capitalist value, which gives a priority to bourgeois man's profits, and the Victorian discourses of sexuality constructs the clear sexual difference in dress in the period.

  • The purpose of this study is to typify femininity and masculinity represented in mainstream women's and men's fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 and infer sexual ideology appearing in contemporary Korean society by content analysis with the view of plural sexuality. For the content analysis total 259 editorial fashion photography was analyzed. As the result, 5 femininities and 5 masculinities were typified, and then sexual discourse was inferred out of the frequency of each type and texts with the images. On the basis of previous studies and historical considerations of this topic, the types of sexuality represented in mainstream fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 were classified as follow.: in women's fashion magazines Traditional Femininity and Androgynous Femininity were almost similarily dominant sexuality, and Glamor Femininity, Babydoll Femininity, and Genderless sexuality were alternative. Meanwhile, in men's fashion magazines Traditional Masculinity formed clear dominant sexuality, and Macho Masculinity, Androgynous Masculinity, Adolescent Masculinity, and Genderless sexuality were alternatives. In addition, Androgynous Masculinity in women's fashion magazines occupied the highest frequency, while Glamor Femininity in men's fashion magazines did so. From this sexual discourses represented in mainstream fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 are as follow.: First, mainstream fashion in Korea sticks to the modern values preserving traditional sexual ideology even in this postmodern period of the former 21C. Second, Androgynous Femininity as another dominant femininity with Traditional Femininity connotes the change of conception of femininity in Korean society. Third, Androgynous Masculinity to females is preferred, while femininity to males is still regarded as fetish or adorned object. Fourth, the appearance of various alternative sexualities leads to pluralization of sexuality, and then fashion gradually codifies youthfulness and feminine values, such as body and sexual desire more than before.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the discourse of puberty in the early teenage girls. Method: The participants were 24, 11-15years old girls who were interviewed in face-to-face using a semi-structured questionnaire. The interviews were done between October 29 and December 27 2003. Analysis of the qualitative data was done in 2 steps. Results: First, the theme of the girls' puberty discourse was identifying normality and consisted of 5 categories : i) defining puberty as experiencing changes, ⅱ) acknowledging their own puberty connecting it with their definitions of puberty, ⅲ) selectively excluding/recognizing the actual pubertal changes by seeing themselves as nonsexual and negative beings, ⅳ) recognizing the pubertal changes as becoming women and making them not peculiar but normal, and ⅴ) sharing the knowledge and experience of change inactively and exclusively and resisting the dominant discourse. Three main discourse frames, marking off sexual/nonsexual, man/women, and major/minor were revealed in the second step of the analysis. They were intricately woven with each other and converged on sex. Conclusion: The girls posited themselves as being asexual, unstable, and marginal. So there is a need to help them recognize their pubertal state as physical and mental paradigmatic changes and assure their pubertal changes as positive.

사회복지(학)에서의 '성적 소수자' 연구의 동향과 인식론적 전망 : 페미니스트 섹슈얼리티 이론의 가능성 (The Trend and Prospect of Study on 'Sexual Minority' in Social Welfare and Practice : Implications of Feminist Theories on Sexuality)

  • 본고의 목적은 동성애에 관한 사회복지(학) 지식생산 양식을 비판적으로 검토하고 이론적·실천적 확장을 시도하고자 하는 것이다. 사회복지(학)의 성적 소수자에 관한 연구 경향들은 병리와 결함으로 개념화했던 초기의 의료적 담론을 넘어 인권과 다양성이라는 인권담론으로 이동해왔다. 이러한 변화는 상당한 진전임에도 불구하고 이미 '다수' 를 정상화하고 규범화하는 이분법을 전제하고 '타자화되는' 사회구조적인 맥락을 간과하면서 다양성을 단순히 병렬적으로 나열하는 한계를 드러낸다. 무엇보다 두 가지 담론 모두 섹슈얼리티에 관한 본질론적 입장에 근거한다는 공통점을 지닌다. 이에 반해 페미니스트들은 섹슈얼리티를 사회적인 구성물이자 역사적으로 의미 부여된 사회적 장치라는 인식하에 섹슈얼리티와 동성애에 관한 새로운 이론화를 진행해 왔다. 예를 들어, 레즈비언 페미니즘은 남성중심사회에서 사회적 억압에 대한 변혁의 주체로서 레즈비언 정체성을 강조하며, 페미니스트 퀴어이론은 섹스와 젠더와 섹슈얼리티에 관한 분류 그 자체를 문제시하고 해체하고자 한다. 이 이론들은 주체에 대한 새로운 이해방식을 제안하며, 섹스와 젠더, 섹슈얼리티에 관한 통념에 도전하게 하고, 이성애/동성애의 이분법이 사회적으로 구성되고 의미화된 권력의 효과라는 분석을 가능하게 한다. 본 연구자들은 페미니스트 섹슈얼리티 이론의 통찰력을 빌어 사회복지(학)에서의 '성적 소수자' 에 대한 논의가 '새롭게' 구성될 것을 주장하면서 궁극적으로 보다 진보적 사회복지학의 지평을 지향하고자 한다.

  • 이 논문에서 필자는 가장 오래된 남성폭력의 기술화 버전이라 할 수 있는 디지털 성폭력에 대한 철학적 담론을 개진해보고자 한다. 첫 번째로 불법 도촬 카메라의 전방위적 공간성의 작동방식과 디지털 데이터 베이스로 전환된 새로운 시간성의 구조를 분석할 것이다. 나아가 디지털 성폭력과 사이버 성폭력 개념이 혼용되어 사용되고 있는 현재 담론지형에 개입해 들어가 볼 것이다. 두 번째로 정보통신기술의 발달과 사물 인터넷에 기반한 초연결성을 통해, 불법 도촬 카메라의 설치와 촬영이라는 물리적 공간에서의 활동이 사이버 공간이라는 디지털 매트릭스로 즉각 편입이 가능해짐으로써 여성신체이미지가 디지털 재화로 기능하는 측면을 분석할 것이다. 세 번째로 필자는 디지털 성폭력이라는 피해경험을 재언어화하기 위해, 새로운 감정구조를 고안해보고자 한다. 즉 성적 수치심이 아닌, 성적 불쾌감, 사회적 분노감이라는 다층화된 감정구조로의 이행을 통해, 피해자다움이라는 프레임에 갇힌 약자의 전형화에서 벗어나도록 한다. 새로운 감정 양식은 저항적, 도전적 신체 감응 양식의 창출을 도모함으로써 더 이상 사라져야할 자는 피해자가 아닌, 가해자들임을, 수치의 몫은 피해자가 아닌 가해자에게 부과해야하는 것임을 낱낱이 드러낼 것이다. 나아가 디지털 성폭력에 대한 대항실천은 한 개인의 문제가 아닌 공공성의 문제이자 정치적 시민권의 실행에 관한 문제로서 접근되어야한다.

  • 본 연구는 한국과 영국 교복 광고들 속에서 광고의 의미가 어떻게 구성되고 다양한 재현들이 무엇을 의미하는가를 고찰하고, 광고를 둘러싸고 전개된 담론들, 특히 성 담론에 주목하면서 양국의 문화적 함의의 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국의 <스쿨룩스>와 영국의 <아메리칸 어패럴>의 교복 광고들을 분석 대상으로 선정했고 다양한 기호학적 분석 방법들을 활용했다. 기호의 2차 의미 생성 과정 분석, 즉 기표와 기의, 함축 의미와 이데올로기의 단계적 의미들을 도출하고자 하였다. 또한 비판적 담론 분석을 시도하여 광고 텍스트의 의미와 담론적 의미 및 이데올로기적 실천 의미를 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 이들 두 나라의 학생 교복 광고들에는 여성 상품화, 남녀의 권력 불균형, 아동 성애자적 접근 등의 부정적 양태와 교복의 본연의 의미와 가치가 왜곡된 경향이 드러났다. 나아가 교복 광고를 둘러싼 양국의 담론들에 대한 비판적 담론 분석을 토대로 양 국가에서 잠재되어 있는 왜곡된 성적 대상화와 상업화를 통한 비정상적인 미적 가치 변형 양상과 '롤리타 판타지'가 만연되어 있음이 나타났다. 나아가 변태적 성적 취향으로 인해 학생들에게 성적 정체성의 혼란과 가치관의 혼돈을 야기하고 있는 것을 발견하였다.

성폭력 실태와 사회복지적 대책 방안에 관한 연구 (A Study on the Realities of Sexual Violence and the Measure for Social Welfare)

  • 본 연구는 성폭력의 실태와 피해상황을 다루어, 이에 대한 여론을 환기 시키고 보다 폭넓은 인식을 도우며, 나아가서 적극적인 대처를 위한 공동체적인 사회적 노력을 이끌어 내고자 한다. 한국사회에서 성에 대한 담론은 흔히 이중적인 성의식구조 속에서 이루어지고 있다. 즉 남성의 성은 어려서부터 공공연히 다루어지고 때로는 자랑거리까지 간주되어 왔다. 남성의 성적욕구는 억누르고 숨기기보다는 자연스럽고 당당하고, 심지어는 남성다움으로 인식되었다. 반면에 여성의 성욕은 불결하고 수용될 수 없으며 은폐되어야만 하는 것으로 간주되고, 순결은 여성에게 절대적인 이데올로기로 자리잡도록 사회화과정 속에서 진행되어 왔다. 이와 같은 성에 대한 이중규범은 우리 사회의 남성들로 하여금 더욱 공격적이고 능동적이 되도록 부추기는 결과를 가져왔다. 성폭력은 개인적인 불행에 그치는 것이 아니라 전체 여성의 문제이며, 더 나아가서 우리 사회가 해결해야 할 당면 과제이다. 따라서 성폭력에 대한 대응행동은 개인적이 아닌 집단적 차원으로 승화시켜 남성과 여성이 함께 사회문화운동으로 정착시켜 나가야 하겠다. 성폭력이라는 가시적인 현실도 중요하지만 미래 세대에게 왜곡된 문화환경을 물려주므로써 그들의 정신건강에 피해를 주는 일은 일종의 역사적인 범죄로 보야야 할 것이다.

소설의 발생과 성적 계약 -국민국가 담론을 넘어 (The Rise of the Novel and the Sexual Contract: Beyond correspondence between novel and nation-state)

  • The studies of correspondence between novel and nation-state, among which The Rise of the Novel by Ian Watt is supposed to be the first book, have flourished for more than twenty years, encouraged by Benedict Anderson's and Cathy Davidson's works. According to them, the novel should come simultaneously with, or after the foundation of the nation-state, and testify to its production or the emergence of its subject/citizen. This paper questions about these prepositions, trying to introduce a new paradigmatical approach, "between global and transnational historical approach," to first novels in transatlantic areas including England and atlantic coastal areas. In its complex relation to a variety of colonial, post-colonial, and transnational geopolitics, various cultural practices such as history, traveler's tales and epistolary novels can be included in the genre of the novel. The idea of the sexual contract by Carole Pateman is very useful because it helps more clearly understand the nature of relation between men and women in the capitalist reproduction, while the social contract tells about the relation between men as citizens. Unlike Freud in Totem and Taboo, Zilboorg argues that there were primordial and violent scenes such as rape before the first sexual contract. This paper will illuminate that "the rise of the novel" corresponded with the emergence of the sexual contract. In the so-called first novel Pamela, the heroine Pamela was threatened to be violated by Mr. B., and was really even confined in his cottage. Mary Rowlandson's The Captive Narrative shows that her body was confined as an English female captive, and troubled with imaginary rape by Indians which resulted in the unequal sexual contract between her and her puritan community in America. However, Leonora Sansay's Secret History in an alternative communality, which was not a nation-state, was different from both novels mentioned above, in that it shows the possibility of emancipation from their unequal marriage, the sexual contract. Therefore, it can be argued that "between global and transnational historical approach" has a possibility to provide a new vision of global sisterhood and solidarity to recognize globalized women's violence, and free themselves from the unequal sexual contract.
