탈근대, 탈식민, 탈민족 포스트 담론 20년의 성찰 한국에서 포스트맑스주의의 수용 과정과 쟁점들 = Acceptance Process and Issues of Post-Marxism in Korean Society

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This writing scrutinizes the process of how post-Marxism has been accepted in the 1990s in Korea and attempts critical examination of the regarding main issues. Existing socialist countries were collapsing while the social movements in the 1980s were falling. In this circumstances, post-Marxism appeared with the fashion of all sorts of post- discourses in Korean society. However, unlike the radical democratic strategy of Laclau and Mouffe, one of the representative post-Marxism theorists, post-Marxism in Korea aimed at reformist liberalism and anti-Marxism which argued that the revolution of capitalism is impossible or either undesirable. The stance which sticked to classic Marxism was hostile to post-Marxism while the stance which accepted post-Marxism interpreted the post-Marxism of Laclau and Mouffe arbitrarily and perverted the meaning. Accordingly, discussions over post-Marxism expedited impoverishment of the theory and anti-intellectualism which judges everything from the political perspective. Laclau and Mouffe`s theory and strategy were practically excluded from the academic discussions. In this process, ``combination of Marxism and post-structuralism``, the issue Laclau and Mouffe raised did not receive attention at all. Nevertheless, Marxism and post-structuralism both think political practices and resistance based on the universality of the excluded, and this implies that Marxism and post-structuralism have possibility to overcome each other`s limit through communication and discussion.
