영문 초록

In a Room of One's Own, a polemical essay on women and fiction, Virginia Woolf imagines a novel that records a close relationship between women. The manuscript of A Room of One's Own clearly suggests that when Woolf writes "Chole liked Olivia, "the issue of censorship and writing strongly flashes upon her imagination. Nothing that Woolf engages her writing on women's sexuality, body and desire in the dealectic process of writing and censorship-expression and repression, disguise and delay, this paper aims to examine Jeanette Winterson's languase of body and desire in Written on the Body. Both Woolf and Winterson search for a new language to exptess women's sexuality and desire that refuse to be confined in the social economy of the partriarchal heterosexuality, the marker of which is the biological body incorporated in the dominant sexual discourse. In Woof and Winterson who deftly play with the mechanisms of writing and censorship by presenting deliberately the enigma of ungendered, bisexual/androgynous characters in their novels-Orlando and Written on the Body in particular, any sexual identity is unstabilized, and the body does not serve as the essential marker of sexual identity but truns into a palimpsest where the sesuous, erotic langunage of sezuality and desire is written. Thus, Woolf and Winterson break the sequence of the conventional language of sexuality and revitalize the language of body and desire.
