백만인 행진(The Million Man March)은 어떻게 『녹색 삶』(Living Green)을 사는가?

남정섭,양효진 한국영미어문학회 2019 영미어문학 Vol.- No.133

Gloria Bond Clunie suggests that the dream of living green in her play Living Green can be achieved only through the sacrificial death of Buddy. Likewise, it is proposed that the goals of the Million Man March of 1995 can be achieved at a community level through a ritualized sacrifice, which René Girard conceptualized in his discussion of mimetic desire. Despite the violent events and victimized deaths in the African American community in West Side, the Freeman family, inspired and encouraged by the March, decides to move to the black neighborhood. Their determined action is to make Buddy’s death meaningful and revitalize the black community in a peaceful way.

Great White Anxiety over Interracial Romance

남정섭 한국영미어문학회 2009 영미어문학 Vol.- No.91

White men's chronic fear of black male sexual power made white male centered American society so anxious to see a white male pugilist defeat Jack Johnson to rescue the white race. In The Great White Hope, both the systematic efforts to find a great white hope who is able to take back the world heavyweight title from Johnson and the legal scheming to deprive him of his boxing license are centered on the issue of Johnson's interracial romance with his white wife. White law enforcement's judicial punishment of Johnson is a lynching in disguise and eventually leads his white wife to a suicide and him to a loss in a rigged boxing match. Contemporary American society's anxiety over and punishment of the first African American world heavyweight champion can be seen as a legal lynching in the sense that lynching is a postbellum manifestation of white men's fear of black masculinity.

『햄릿』과 정신분석 비평

남정섭 영남대학교 인문과학연구소 2013 人文硏究 Vol.- No.67

Lacan’s psychoanalytic approach seems to have isolated itself from the main criticisms of Hamlet. This paper tries to fill the gap between psychoanalytic criticism and the mainstream criticism of Hamlet by locating Freud-Lacanian psychoanalytic studies of Hamlet inside the tradition of character analysis and psychological approach of Hamlet. The failure of mourning is explained as the main cause of the self-hatred and ambivalent emotions of Hamlet. The relationship between desire and Hamlet is analysed based on Lacan’s psychoanalytic explorations. Seeing Ophelia as ‘object a’ is suggested to shed a new light on the loss and lack in Hamlet. 『햄릿』에 관한 정신분석적 비평은 프로이트가 시작하였고 라캉의 주체와 욕망에 관한 이론으로까지 발전해왔다. 기여한 바가 많음에도 불구하고 정신분석적 『햄릿』 비평은 전체 『햄릿』 비평과 다소 동떨어져 존재해왔다. 이론의 난해함뿐만 아니라 이론을 위해서 작품을 이용해 온 측면이 있다는 것이 그 이유가 될 것이다. 이 논문은 이러한 점을 극복하고자 정신분석적 『햄릿』 비평을 성격심리 비평의 일부로서 위치 지우고자 한다. 그리고 애도의 실패와 양가감정 그리고 햄릿과 욕망에 대해서 살펴본다. 마지막으로 오필리어를 실패한 <대상 a>로 규정하고 정신분석적 접근을 시도한다.

Heroic Qualities of the Primary Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

남정섭 한국영미어문학회 2017 영미어문학 Vol.- No.124

This paper examines what makes the superhero team Avengers in the Marvel’s Cinematic Universe a group of remarkable people rather than a chemical mixture that can cause devastation. The focus of this paper lies on the primary avengers such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. This paper delves into what they have in common, how they differ from each other, and what make them heroes. In addition, this paper compares a traditional hero character, Rambo, with these primary avengers arguing that making a sacrifice and making a choice of meaning rather than being are how they overcome the emotion of fear. In order to do this, this paper engages Helen Block Lewis’s findings about the connections between the emotion of shame and the act of violence. Additional researches about this issue and other related issues are examined as well. In addition, Lacan’s argument is used to explain the primary avengers’ choice of meaning instead of being.

보편성의 위장 - 『태양 아래 건포도』와 『위대한 백인의 희망』을 중심으로 -

남정섭 영남대학교 인문과학연구소 2011 人文硏究 Vol.- No.62

Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun went through many changes as it was staged on Broadway and adapted into a Hollywood film. These changes included omissions of the scenes which were suspected to make the majority white spectators uncomfortable. The Great White Hope, a Martin Ritt’s film whose stage play and screenplay were written by Howard Sackler, lost several scenes as it was adapted from the stage play. All the cuts were made to lighten the seriousness in investigating the social issues related to Jack Johnson, the first African American heavyweight world champion, and the violent reactions of the mainstream white society. Though these cuts were imposed in the course of productions in both Broadway and Hollywood, they were done not only due to a technical necessity. More importantly, these changes were intended in order neither to provoke nor to enrage the absolute majority of white spectators. It seems that they can be justified with the notion of universality as the changed scripts and films focus on universal conflicts between an individual and a society. However, the use of the notion of universality is a camouflage for covering the racial anxiety of Broadway and a strategy for softening the critical voice over race-related social issues. 로레인 한즈베리가 쓴 『태양 아래 건포도』는 미국 흑인 여성이 극작한 연극으로는 최초로 브로드웨이에서 공연되고 나아가 할리우드에서 영화로 각색되었다. 이 작품이 이러한 영예를 안기 위해서 당시 백인들이 절대 다수의 관객층을 형성하던 브로드웨이와 할리우드의 백인 제작자들의 구미에 맞게 고쳐져야만 했다. 이러한 수정은 주로 당시 흑인들이 겪는 사회적 차별과 흑인을 차별하는 백인 중심 사회의 위선을 고발하는 장면과 흑백 분리와 통합을 다루는 장면을 삭제하는 식으로 일어났다. 흑인 최초의 세계 헤비급 권투 챔피언이었던 잭 존슨의 영광과 굴욕을 연극화하고 또 영화화한 작품이 하워드 색클러가 연극과 영화 대본을 쓴『위대한 백인의 희망』이다. 잭 존슨의 실제 삶이 연극화될 때 고급차를 빠르게 몰고 화려한 옷을 즐겨 입으며 여성 편력을 즐겼던 그의 개성적인 측면들이 많이 약화되었다. 그리고 뒤이은 마틴 릿의 영화화 과정에서 당시에 뜨거운 사회적 이슈였던 흑백 차별에 관련된 깊이 있는 논의를 담은 연극의 장면들이 많이 삭제되었다. 본 논문은 각색 과정에서 생긴 이러한 변화들이 단지 기술적인 고려에서 생긴 것이 아니라 브로드웨이와 할리우드가 백인의 치부를 드러내거나 흑인의 비판적인 목소리를 높이는 것을 부담스러워하였기 때문이라고 주장한다. 당대 사회 현실이라는 특수성에는 눈 감고 인간의 문제를 인간이라면 누구나 겪을 보편적인 문제로만 접근하는 방식은 사실 보편성이라는 위장막 뒤에서 구체적이고 특수한 시대 상황과 인간에 대한 예술적 고찰을 포기하는 행위라고 할 수 있다.
