윌리엄 포크너와 토니 모리슨의 작품에서 나타나는 “사랑의 윤리”로서의 여성적 연대 비교 = The Ethics of Feminine Love in Faulkner`s Go Down, Moses and Morrison`s Sula

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper compares the female solidarities portrayed in William Faulkner`s Go Down, Moses and Toni Morrison`s Sula. In the last chapter of Go Down, Moses, Faulkner suggests the sisterhood between black and white women as an ethical alternative to the failed brotherhood among male characters in the novel. Meanwhile, in Sula, Toni Morrison elaborately examines the conceptual relationship by re-questioning black womanhood in a white, male-dominated society. After defining the double oppression of the black women in American society and underscoring key features of Judith Butler`s Giving An Account of Oneself, I explain how the female solidarity can be read as ‘a dialogue of discourses with the other/s`` which leads to Foucaultian “self-making” and “the care of the self.” In addition, I re-interpret the female solidarity as an ethical act of love by quoting Alain Badiou`s In Praise of Love, in order to articulate how the “feminine” love is a mode of ``being otherwise`` which enables us to take response-ability for the other(``s failure).
