합류적 사랑과 환희의 텍스트: ‘아내가 결혼했다’의 놀이/게임과 독자/관객

Abstract

The novel My Wife Got Married plays games of the confluent love with its readers. The heroine In-A, Deok-Hun’s wife, got married to Jae-Kyong, and she wants to live with two husbands. Her performance of confluent love and polyandry challenges the readers’ thought of traditional marriage relations. So, the signifying practice of this writerly text depends upon the readers’ response to In-A’s games of plastic sexuality. The signification of In-A is not completed within the narrative of the novel. When the text makes the readers get confused, it can be the text of bliss in terms of Barthes. The text reflects the change of structure of the intimacy. The film adaptation of My Wife Got Married cannot be a writerly text. It develops the linear narrative for the catastrophic result of In-A’s confluent love. The adaptation of fidelity for the narrative develops more details than the novel plots. It gives a certain pleasure as much as the audience expect; however, it lacks the signifying practice of the audience. The actress who is cast for In-A satisfies the male gaze of the audience with their fetish. The film cannot play any games with the audience but gives the way to the confirmation of the conventional sexual relations.
