초록

The paper appropriates Paul's political theology pertaining to political subjectivity and identity, so that it can adumbrate a new postcolonial model of East-Asian Biblical hermeneutics. The reconfiguration of Paul's political theology is instigated by philosopher, Agamben's claim that Paul's political thought lays groundwork for new concept of 'messianic politics' and 'messianic form of life'. He insists that Paul's messianic politics of division between the spirit and the flesh, by means of laying out the exception of messianic rest, subverts Jewish politics of division between the Jew and the non-Jew, while advocating messianic form of life based on the dichotomy of Jewish law/messianic grace. Yet his idea of messianic politics and form of life still intensifies and overdetermines intrinsic dichotomy of flesh/spirit deterring any other political division of body/flesh embedded in corporeal metaphor of body in I Cor. which, in turn, can cultivate specific form of East-Asian political identity. In this vein, this discussion raises the exegetical and hermeneutical issue of whether Paul's implicit intention of I Cor 7:29-31 is to persuade, by means of paradoxical logic of messianism, us to concede to the exception of East-Asian political identity as the messianic remnant or not. Right in response to this thorny issue it is worthwhile for us to test that another critical division between Western logic and Eastern logic, as clarified by Korean literary critic Byung-Chul Na, can sophisticate Paul's view of political theology by reinterpreting as a 'messianic form of life' the ascetic mode of life in I Cor. 7:29-31. Paul's Eastern mode of messianism in I Cor. 7:29-31 advances the messianic politics of division between καιρός and χρόνος as well as the messianic form of life as an ascetic mode of self-discipline. Yet Agamben's idea of messianism still does not yet clarify concrete mode of political resistance, coincided with the ontological status of other's particular corporeality, by suspending the political significance of various cultural differences of ethnicity, gender, class, nationality, religion, ecological location, etc., It thereby cannot provide us with the clue for rightly engendering postcolonial East-Asian Biblical hermeneutics. Hence, this article suggests category of 'body/flesh', neologism 'messianic hybridity', & 'Western logic'/'Eastern logic' which best elucidate a new paradigm of East-Asian Biblical hermeneutics, in which corporeal subjectivity convincingly concurs with ethical-political identity proper to specific East-Asian context. In conclusion, the postcolonial East-Asian Biblical hermeneutics incipiciently proposes the way East-Asians struggle against the obstacles of global justice embedded in Neo-liberal capitalism, by appropriating Paul's specific strategy of resistance to induce the readers to take messianic emacipatory praxis in their own East-Asian political situation.
