타자들의 에코토피아

Abstract

Cho Se-Hui's literary work, 《A Small Ball Shot Up By A Dwarf》represents miseries of people in the process of Korea's drive for industrialization in the 1970s.

The class confrontation and estrangement depicted in this work can be read in the view of ecology because it reveals environmental disruption inevitably generated by highly industrialized society.

This study considers Cho Se-Hui's 《A Small Ball Shot Up By A Dwarf》 in an ecological world-view. It aims to analyze how people in the work lessen the antagonism and regain community spirit from a perspective of ecofeminism.

The second and third chapters point out the Korean distorted industrialization caused the environmental crisis and show that anti-ecological thinking at that time destructed nature and humanity bringing about hierarchy in the society. It also studies different definitions about 'nature' and 'woman' between feminism and ecofeminism.

The fourth and fifth chapter consider the way that the characters recognized the reality divided by nature and human, subject and object, the one who rules and who is ruled. It also discuss about the signs -terminated spaces, disabled, nature, etc- in this work, and find out the writer's ecological representation.

Finally, it studies whether the ideal of characters willing to challenge their realities and the view of the ecofeminism pursuing sustainability coincide.
