포크너의 주요작품에 나타난 혼혈혼 이데올로기

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This dissertation attempts to offer a reading of the ideology of miscegenation represented in William Faulkner's major texts. Faulkner's fictional world clearly reflects the social and historical context of the early 20th century American South. Granting that the social and historical processes are textualized. all the voices are not equally represented. So it is necessary to trace the power relation of the dominant and the dominated through which the processes are identified. While Faulkner has been implicated in the white supremacist ideology, as seen in his ambivalent treatment of the violation of race boundary, Faulkner's texts can nevertheless be interpreted as a critique of the patriarchy and race ideology of the dominant white south.
Thus in chapter II of this study I deal with the social and historical contexts in the south. While the miscegenation between a white male and a black female was 'tolerable', the sexual relation of a black male and a white female became thoroughly prohibited. Chapter III examines Faulkner's representation of the tabooed miscegenation against a white woman as well as the scapegoating of a black-or allegedly 'black'-man in Light in August. It further argues critically how the white community uses Joanna Burden's putatively miscegenetic relationship with Joe Christmas to its advantage. Chapter IV then probes how Faulkner represents white males' sexual exploitation of black women in Absalom, Absalom! It also explores the way Clytie is accepted but Charles is rejected by the dominant white society of the south. It investigates how Charles Bon's narrative challenges the ideological boundaries between 'tolerable' and 'tabooed' miscegenation. Chapter V explores the aspects of the incestuous miscegenation in Go Down, Moses, in which white McCaslin males' sexual exploitations of McCaslin black females are represented.
In the three types of miscegenetic relations mentioned above, the black characters sometimes accept the dominant whites' ideological practice, but at other times show counterhegemonic attitudes. In conclusion Faulkner's texts dramatically expose and criticise the contradictions of the southern ideological practice,the race- and gender-based double standard of miscegenation. Thus Faulkner shows us how completely his south has failed by revealing the poignant site of the dominant southern whites' sinful deeds such as lynching black males involved in miscegenation, forsaking wife and children with black blood, and exploiting sexually black female family members.
