근대의 재현과 여성의 서술: 모라비아 소설의 탈식민주의적 전망과 해석 = Representation of the Modern and the Narrative of the Women: the Post-Colonialist Perspective and Interpretation of Alberto Moravia`s Novels

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The ``modern`` is the term that indicates the era and philosophy based on the principle of representation. The modern thought allows us to believe that we are living in the ``modern`` world where everything can be understood and controlled by our reason and represented intactly in any ways. The women and Africa are alienated from this modern world and thought, and put aside from the possible object of representation; they are mystical and unknown things far from the identification categories such as reason, men, science, technology, etc. This article aims to illuminate the absurd relationship between the women and Africa on the one hand and the men and reason on the other, with special reference to Alberto Moravia`s novels. Particularly this article examines the odd relationship between the women subjects and the modern discours, and the way of remedying that relationship by highlighting the possibility of representation positively. In Moravia`s novels, Africa is located outside from modernization; in this context, it is in the same condition of the women. Neither Africa nor the women are not represented properly in Moravia`s novels and remained as just the Others. This is not because they are believed to remain in the pre-modern or anti-modern status; this kind of understanding is just simple. We need to imagine more complex one: that which the women and Africa were the so-called shadow of the modern even though they existed as realities. That is to say that they were the other faces of the modern, the shadow accompanying the light of the modern. In Moravia`s novels, the modernization of Italy is represented as reiterated with the colonial desire and at the same time reveals its complication in relation to the existence of the women. In this case the representation of the modernization of Italy and the women goes towards not so much the traditional realism as its more up-graded possibility. From this post-colonialist perspective and interpretation that reveals the positions of the women and Africa appropriately, we are able to understand them as the other faces of modernity. Locating the women in the representation of the modernity is possible in this context.
