Heejung\u2019s current research focuses on Shakespeare\u2019s female characters, who exist in a state of ambivalence, blurring the line between a passive being and an active agent. The goal of her work is to contribute to the reconceptualization of female agency, through which the political possibilities of women are extended from the capability of performing a resistance act to a disruptive force to create an exposure of the ontological uncertainty inherent in the ideological structure itself. Research Topic<\/strong>: Heejung\u2019s research delves into the female characters in Shakesperean problem plays, whose state of ambivalence causes the division between a passive presence and an active agent to shatter. By examining their indeterminacy, I aim to rethink the concept of female agency, which involves shedding light on women’s political potential to create a destabilizing force that unveils the ontological uncertainty ingrained in the very foundation of ideological structures.<\/p>\n
