[Literary Criticism] The Social Form of an Infectious Disease and Post-Familism of Care / Lee Jieun
The Quarterly Changbi 202, Winter 2023
Abstract
In Literary Criticism, Lee Jieun reflects on how the process of reorganizing the world during the pandemic highlighted one’s own house and family as the unit of survival and reinforced the gender-discriminatory order of the pre-pandemic world. Lee keenly analyzes how Choi Eunmi’s novel Face to Face and short story “Face to Face, Here, We” counter with a literary imagination the order structuralized under the pandemic.
