서사적 상상력: 인문학적 페미니즘의 가능성

Can human sciences and feminism meet again? Or is it possible that they might encounter each other anew? It is no exaggeration to say that feminism starts from investigating the foundations of human sciences. Feminism has scrutinized and thrown doubt upon the universal premises of traditional human sciences, such as liberty, equality, justice, universality, and more. Why are many feminists then focusing upon the universal subject, that is, the value and the dignity of human beings? Neoliberal society has turned everything into exchange relations. In such societies, the dignity of human beings has disappeared. If the human being disappears, women as part of the human species cannot help but disappear, too. This crisis calls upon the human sciences and feminism to again encounter each other anew. Thus, the purpose of this article is to concentrate on grasping the possibility of humanistic feminism in order to repoliticize depoliticized feminism. Especially focusing on Martha Nussbaum’s concept of fragility, humanity, and narrative imagination, this article tries to grasp the possibilities of humanistic feminism.
