ABSTRACT

From the perspective of world culture and common sense of the common knowledge during the time of deeper globalization, both the South Korean film Bedevilled and the Chinese film Blind Mountain present a trend in which there is a phenomenon that the common sense of the globalization has no way to recover and illuminate the rural culture to some extent. However, in contract, the rural culture gradually becomes a power to resist the world culture and common sense of globalization. Rethinking two main texts of feminism (Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex and Gayle Rubin’s The Traffic in Women: Notes on the ‘Political Economy’ of Sex as two texts that present the world culture and common sense of the common knowledge), and revising the two films from East Asia (South Korea and China), we can rediscover that women without freedom living in rural culture nearly disappear in the world culture and common sense during the process of globalization. Meanwhile the western classic texts of theory usually cannot illuminate the facts in eastern Asian society. Therefore, in order to rethink the freedom as a common sense for the women in the whole world, we have to revise the world culture and common sense during the process of deeper globalization. Also we have to argue that the body freedom is the foundation of women’s freedom, other than economic freedom from Simone de Beauvoir.
