‘목소리’의 재현을 통해 실현된 자기 이야기의 역사화 욕망 - 1990년대 한국 김인숙과 타이완 구묘진(邱妙津)의 소설을 대상으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article examines the way of ‘voice’s expression’ in Kim In-sook and Chiu Miao-chin’s 1990’s novels to find out how the women’s desire be illuminated through the feminine writing. Feminism’s representation work began late in Korea and Taiwan to overcome the collective crisis left by the war and dictatorship. Considering this historical background, it is an important issue to focus on the feminine writing of Korea and Taiwan in the 1990s.
Kim In-sook and Chiu Miao-chin, as writers representing atypical femininity, had a common fate of wrestling with their dual identity while enjoying the opportunity to visualize themselves as middle-class intellectuals without abandoning their status as elite women. Therefor, the conflict of real life, in which about their central position of cultural class but also marginal in the social system, turns into a contradiction within them and manifests itself as a desire to explore and re-establish one’s identity. Kim In-sook and Chiu Miao-chin express emotions such as deviant desires and erotic physical pleasures in people living one the margins of society through later-talked and diary/epistolary novels. The secret emotions, which were considered impure and violated the so-called gender ‘essence’, are embodied through the narrative about ‘words’ and ‘body’ expressed by the writer with imagination. Their novels not only have an effect on typical confession narratives that differentiate themselves from ‘female’ reflected in men’s standards, but also fulfill the desire for de-collectivization. By representing the woman’s own story as it is, it has successfully reproduced the pluralistic and fluid identity that transcends essentialism. Kim In-sook and Chiu Miao-chin’s novels focused on shaping women’s desire for historization, not in the gender status, but as an autonomous human being. Based on this, it leaves an opportunity to reorganize the field of literature in both countries to respond to modern gender problems as a third world.
