샬럿 브론테의 『교수』에 나타난 남성의 동성사회적 욕망 = Male Homosocial Desire in Charlotte Bronte`s The Professor

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper explores how male homosocial bonding in Charlotte Bronte`s The Professor influences women`s subjectivity. The study of male bonding in this novel is supported by the discussion of Eve Kosovsky Sedgwick`s theory of male homosocial desire. Sedgwick takes some ideas from Rene Girard`s theory that desire is triangular as opposed to linear: two males are rivals for a female. Furthermore, Sedgwick argues that male rivalry and jealousy include homosexual desires. She sees male homosocial bonding as the site which represses homoerotic feeling and homosexual desire. Sedgwick also criticizes Girard`s idea which regards the erotic triangle as symmetrical regardless of the structure of gender differences. William and Hunsden in The Professor hide and repress their unacceptable homosexual feelings in the heterosexual structure, and in this erotic triangle, Frances or Zoraide are used as exchangeable property for the purpose of cementing the bonds of men with men. Women in this novel function to legitimize the socially unacceptable form of male bonding and to open the debate regarding how homosocial men feel towards one another. (Hanbat National University)
