타자의 귀환, 전복적 주체들: 박영숙의 《미친년 프로젝트》(1999-2005)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This essay analyzes Young-sook Park’s Mad Women Project(1999-2005), which occupies an important position in Korean contemporary art, from a gender perspective. To achieve this, I discuss “madness” through Michel Foucault’s archaeology of alienation in Madness and Civilization. In addition, I reread the early psychoanalytic theory represented by Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer from a gender perspective. I explain Park Young-sook’s work on the correlation between gender, body discourse, and psychoanalysis through Julia Kristeva’s “abject” theory, which is a significant theory of psychoanalytic feminism, and Hal Foster’s “traumatic realism,” which was presented while discussing postmodernism. Through this, I draw four characteristics of Park’s Mad Women Project: “Representing Exclusive and Alienated Outsiders,” “Resisting Discrimination and Forming Solidarity,” “Expressing the Desire of Subjects,” and “Searching for New Female Narratives.” By analyzing Park’s work, which visualized the problem of “othering” women, through psychoanalytic feminism and postmodern discourse, this paper contributes to the study of first-generation feminist artists in Korea.
