An Research on Ecofeminism Shown in Han Gang’s Work －『Vegetarian』 as the Center－
Journal of Humanities
-
Ecofeminism is a complex concept that combines ‘eco’ meaning ecology(or the environment) with ‘feminism’. This started with homodonty; awareness which is closely connected with nature and repression organization put on women. This thesis is looking into the world of Han Gang’s work with her novel 『Vegetarian』 as the center from a ecofeminist point of view. So far, There has been no study that comes at the world of Han Gang’s work from a ecological point of view. It is a fact that a meaningful spectrum Han Gang’s work involves is too wide and deep to lock it with the roll of ecologism. But, I think that we need our study like this since aesthetic strategy has women approach nature and multi-layered meaning derived from that are very different. Our study is dividing her novel into three parts; ‘the refusal of eating meat’that exposes violence against nature and women and a dominant logic, ‘exposing breast’ which is an act of incantation getting rid of world’s violence, and ‘being plants’ which makes ecologism’s finality into the processing.
