1960年代 小說에 나타나는 분단콤플렉스 樣相

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to review the aspects of complex concerned to national division appeared in the novels of the 1960s. If the literature of the 1950s could be regarded as a period of trauma that expressed a cry of pain caused by the Korean war, the novels of the 1960s could be characterized by complex that originated in the 1950s' trauma. The definition of the 1960s as a period of national division complex was based on the outcome that got out of the 1950's trauma and secured enough distance that made it possible to introspect objectively. At the same time, that also was built on the limit that still remained at the stage of introspection without getting over the national division, the cause of trauma. As a work that unveiled the aspects of the 1960s' national division complex, the works of Choi In Hoon and Lee Ho Churl published in the 1960s were chosen in this study. As a result of looking into those works, the 1960s' national division complex showed the following aspects: The first aspect was to choose 'ideological writing' as a safety zone to effectively unfold a criticism against ideology which was the basic cause of national division. The neutral space of criticism where the hero was situated was a space of nonexistence of ideology named an absolute zero. The limit of absolute zero reflected the closed reality of national division. The hero's pursuit of ideology symbolized by 'father(paternity)' was a fruatration against the national division, bringing forth cathexis into 'woman' that had a character of maternity in an opposite sense to paternity. The second one was a case that approached the issue of national division inductively by deriving unusual things from daily routine. Even though the background was daily life of the lower middle class, the daily life above the reality of national division was, paradoxically, unusual. The characters' pathological symptom who lived an ordinary life served as a role to pose a problem toward national division. Sometimes, the character who was not far away - psychologically from the writer criticized it as well as the petty bourgeois' indifference to national division. By viewing the formation of such a petty bourgeois through the basic approach toward the cause of national division, the writer showed national division complex that was formed in the midst of choas that value upgraded or downgraded irregularly because of the national division and the Korean war. Although the national division complex of the 1960s' novels distinguished that period from the 1950's trauma, by ensuring an objective distance for introspection into national division, it didn't reach a point to get over it. But its significance could be admitted that it raised a problem toward national division, being a starting point of literary attempt to get over it in the 1970s and 1980s.
