description Looking at the human “body,” which has existed in contexts beyond the distinction between men and women, there are “dominators” and “the dominated” in which a situation of “oppressor” and “oppressed” is created. A world in which this is most evident is that of seafaring. There, domination is not limited to one structure; rather, a twofold domination structure exists. One is the domination and oppression among men, and the other is the existence of women who have been marginalized in the industry. Marxist feminism has clarified that the oppression of women in capitalist societies is based on the connection between capitalism and patriarchy, and in the industry, the vector of domination is not necessarily “male → female,” but rather “male → male → female.” The purpose of this paper is to focus on the shipping industry, which has been constructed at the base of capitalism and to point out the kinds of oppressive structures that have developed there, using the textual analysis of “diaries of seafarers” as a methodology, by focusing on the “bodies” of men and women represented in the history of seafarers in the East and West, with patriarchy onboard ships and the masculinity of seafarers as keywords.
