영문 초록

This paper discusses how the modern gaze has given birth to locals since the age of the geographical discoveries and a search for how the local subjects are able to find their beings and the oppressive world around them, and construct their own gazes to promote true human relationships. The globalization of the West as the center of the world has started with the discover of new sea routes and new lands to gain gold or other valuables. I understand this process as the promitive accumulation of capital in the world scale. The modern gaze(objectification) of the West, therefore, divides the people of local from place, and then rules the native as slaves or even "things" to exploit human and natural resources. objectification, one the ways of human thinking, originally enlightened the road to the modern horizon of liberation from the darkness of the middle Age, but been appropriated to study and conquer the other by the modern subject. I suggest disobjectification as a concept in the making can be a way of thinking of the oppressed to discover their beings and the oppressor within their inner space and in the world, and construct locals as liberating spaces. Through the discussion, I argue the concept of local should include not only the material place but the spiritual place of human.
