韩国处于东亚儒家文化圈,传统儒学中󰡒男女有别”、“男尊女卑” 等观念对女性贞节提出了要求,由此古代韩国出现了顺应这一要求的 “烈女” 现象。但就现代性别议题的发展来看,仅解读历史或性别因素显然不够充分,性别中不平等的权力关系是当前性别问题探讨的一大热点。本文将尝试以福柯的身体政治理论为研究视角和框架,在把握历史背景的基础上,分析朝鲜前中期的烈女现象,揭示其背后的权力关系及运作机制,为当代社会性别问题探讨提供新的思路和参照。


According to opinions such as “male-female distinction”, “superior status of men” in traditional Confucianism, chastity is required for females. To comply with this requirement, in ancient Korea, a country under the influence of Confucian culture circle, the phenomenon of YeolNeo(열녀, 烈女, Chaste Women) occurred. However, the focus on historical or gender factors proved insufficient for the discussion of modern gender issues, while the unequal political power relations between males and females should also be considered as an important factor. From the perspective of Foucault’ s theory of body politics, this paper tries to analyze the phenomenon of YeolNeo in Early and Middle Chosun Dynasty on the basis of the historical background, and to reveal the power relations and the mechanism of power behind this phenomenon. Hopefully, this paper will provide a new perspective on the studies of modern gender issues.
