이 글이 집중적인 분석 대상으로 소환한 텍스트는 채만식의 『과도기』이다. 이 작품은 습작기적 미숙성과 검열로 인해 곳곳에 텍스트의 균열과 구멍을 드러내고 있다. 그러나 오히려 역설적이게도 그러한 균열이나 구멍이야말로 채만식 문학의 기원을 해명하는 데는 더할 나위 없이 좋은 단서로 작용한다. 분석 결과 『과도기』는 채만식 문학의 기원인 전통적인 가족제도와 결혼제도에 대한 상징적인 처벌과 대결의지를 반영하고 있다. 더불어 이 작품은 채만식 문학의 또 다른 기원으로 기능하는 식민지 근대에 대한 대결 의지의 동력으로 작용하는 민족주의적 지향을 반영하고 있다. 먼저 전통적인 가족제도와 결혼제도에 대한 채만식의 문제의식은 최소한의 자기 동일성도 찾아보기 힘들 정도로 분열적이고 모순적인 정수의 진술을 통해 드러나고 있다. 전통적인 가족제도와 결혼제도에 대한 채만식의 문제의식은 이후의 작품들에서 반복적인 변주를 보이는 과정에서 심화·확장되면서 채만식 문학의 기원으로 자리잡게 된다. 민족주의적 지향에 대한 채만식의 문제의식은 충동적인 기질의 봉우의 일본인에 대한 울분의 분출과 양자의 입적 문제를 단순한 혈연의 문제로 환원해버리는 형식이의 소박한 해법을 통해 드러나고 있다. 민족주의적 지향에 대한 채만식의 문제의식은 이후 발표되는 작품들에 오면서 계속 심화·확장 되면서 전통적인 가족제도와 결혼제도에 함께 채만식 문학의 두 기원으로 기능하는 식민지 근대에 대한 채만식의 대결의지로 발전하게 된다. This paper summoned the text from 『Transition』 by Chae, Man-sik as the subject of intensive analysis. The work reveals cracks and holes in the text due to its immaturity in early works and censorship. Paradoxically, however, such cracks or holes serve as a perfectly good clue to explaining the origins of Chae, Man-sik’s literature. According to the analysis, the work 『Transition』 reflects the symbolic punishment and will to confront the traditional family system and the marriage system, which are the origins of Chae, Man-sik’s literature. In addition, this work reflects a nationalist orientation that serves as a driving force for the confrontation against colonial modernity, which serves as another origin of his literature. First of all, his problematic consciousness about traditional family system and marriage system is revealed through Chung-soo’s divisive and contradictory statements that make it difficult to find minimal se lf-identity. His problematic consciousness about traditional family and marriage systems deepened and expanded in the process of repeated variations in his later works, establishing the origins of his literature. Chae Man-sik"s problematic consciousness of nationalist orientation is revealed through impulsive Bong-woo’s outburst of anger over Japanese people and Hyung-sik’s simple solution reducing the problem of adoption to a simple blood relationship. Chae Man-sik"s problematic consciousness of nationalist orientation continues to deepen and expand in later works, developing into his confrontation which functions as two origins of Chae Man-sik literature with traditional family and marriage system.

Ch``ae Man-Sik’s prose has not received much critical attention despite its importance in Korean literature. This paper sets out to study Ch’ae’s works so as to lay the groundwork for further exploration and understanding of his prose literature. With this objective, this paper meticulously analyzes more than 150 pieces of Ch’ae’s prose. Among Ch’ae’s prose works, which tend to have different leanings, three themes can be seen to repeat so much that they form the focal point of his prose writing: the hometown as a two-sided, complex body of intersecting and overlapping emotions of nostalgia and resentment; poverty and illness as a death drive (Thanatos) that fuels impulsive escapism or the enhances the lure of death; and never letting go of one’s passion and dedication for literature even when one has one’s back to the wall. These three themes are closely related to one another.

This article started with the problem of consciousness and the purpose that 『Simbongsa』 reflected Chae, Man-sik`s resistance will to the violence and oppression of the traditional family system. The decisive motive which Chae, Man-sik hanged on 『Simbongsa』 tenaciously is the his criticism and resistance will to the traditional family structure which was based on patriarchal ideology. In this context, this paper interpreted 『simbongsa』 as the practice of Oedipus desire which want to interrogate and punish oppression and violence of the traditional family system which is based on despotic power of patriarch. 『Simbongsa』 repeated the grammar and pattern of novels which reflected Chae, Man-sik`s resistance and confrontation to the traditional family system which based on despotic power of patriarch. Parodic appropriation of 『Simbongsa』 has be revealed two main aspects of appropriation. One is for simbongsa`s shaped part, and the other is the ending part. Simbongsa who functions as the subject of the narrative in the 『Simbongsa』 has been shaped as the character who has moral and ethical shortcomings compared with Simbongsa in the 『Simchongjeon』. Chae, Man-sik seems to reveal his criticism and resistance will to the traditional family system most clearly through the disastrous tragic ending which again to return to the blind which his eyes were stabbed himself. In this context, this article interpreted Simbongsa as metaphorical substitution of the traditional family system, and Simbongsa`s act blind his eyes again by the act of himselves stabbing as symbolic manifestation of the symbolic castration and punishment to the Korean`s traditional family system.
