젠더 관점에서 바라본 강은교의 여성적 시쓰기

Kang Eun-kyo's Feminine Poetry Writing Viewed from a Gender Perspective

In this study, based on the premise of feminine poetry writing in the comprehensive meaning without being limited to political orientation, the meaning of otherness shown in Kang Eun-kyo's poems and its overcoming process as well as intention are reviewed. First, although the poet realizes the 'otherness' applied to her, she doesn't show any hostile opposition toward the specific objects causing it. She serenely reflects on and accepts her 'otherness' as that of female gender, without painting cut its cause or forming a confrontational position with the outside. Secondly, 'seeking the elixir of life to resole Father' is the content of symbolic rite of passage, providing the example of Biridegi as a way of overcoming otherness. In this, Biridegi shows that she aspires toward a direction tofu co-operative and coexistent with the existing order by accepting her assignment actively rather than expressing a grudge toward her father, King Ohm, who abandoned her. Thirdly, the poet recognizes 'the subject' and 'the other' as fluid concepts of changing into and interfering with each other. By applying this concept to that of gender, the poet dispels the prejudice and division of 'the subject' and 'the other'. In addition, by integrating feminine principals into the gender role as she proposes, she expands the concepts of 'the subject' and 'the other' into a basis of alternative ontology which ultimately makes it possible for them to coexist.
