포스트휴먼적 타자성과 모성의 윤리 ― 『치료탑행성』의 리쓰코 서사에 나타난 휴머니즘 주체의 해체와 재구성 ―

초록

This study examines KenzaburōŌe’s The Healing Tower (1990)and The Healing Planet (1991)to explore the narrative representation of posthuman ethics that emerge after the collapse of anthropocentric ontology. Drawing on NAGAI, Kiyotake’s concepts of the “loss of the Earthly rhythm”and “acceleration,”it reinterprets Ōe’s science fiction imagination as an ethical prophecy questioning what it means to be “human after the Earth.”Through its narrative structure—crossing boundaries between human and nonhuman, emotion and logic, subject and object series articulates a new relational ethics for the posthuman era. Ritsuko’s narration, addressing an unresponsive Other, transforms language from an instrument of healing into an ontological act of sustaining existence. Ultimately, Ōe’s posthuman ethics emerges as an ethics of persistence: a responsibility that endures beyond understanding or reciprocity, dramatized in The Healing Planet as the literary genesis of a new coexistential ethics
