식민지 근대 도시의 소외 계층에 대한 현실적 투사와 그 전복적 비전 제시

The Realistic Projection and the Subversive vision of the miserable lives in the Modern Colonized City: James Joyce's Dubliners and Park Taewon's Chyonbyen Pung Kyoung

James Joyce and Park Taewon were deeply conscious of the sense of deprivation derived from the fact that their own country was controled both politically and economically by the imperial states such as Britain and Japan. This aspect was scrupulously reflected in James Joyce's Dubliners and Park Taewon's the Chyonbyen Pung Kyoung (or the Sketch of Chyonbyen). In those days, both Dublin and Kyung Seung were the center of Colonialism and Modernism, the realistic and dismal aspect of which the two writers sharply captured in the two texts. Under the colonial oppression, most of the people of Ireland and Korea experienced the very devastated life. And the reason women and children led the most suffering lives in those days derives from the fact that they had to take the two folded burdens. The first one is that their country was colonialized one, which made the men frustrated and this caused them to vent their resentment and frustration on the women and the children. The second one is that the male dominant patriarchal system was deeply rooted in both Ireland and Korea in those days, which brought about the miserable lives to women and the children. And both Dubliners and the Chyonbyen Pung Kyoung reveal the pathetic lives of them realistically. However, the two texts do not satisfy in just making the realistic descriptions of women's miserable lives in those days but offer the vision of the subversion of that reality. In other words, Dubliners and the Chyonbyen Pung Kyoung suggest the new women who express their own voice regarding the various issues, articulate their own sexual desire, and manage to their lives without men's economical support. Regarding those two aspects I compared and analyzed James Joyce's Dubliners and Park Taewon's the Chyonbyen Pung Kyoung.
