This thesis is an approach to investigate the meaning of May 18th of Kwangju in our postmodern era. It suggests that the main theme of May 18th be ‘the cut breast’ or ‘the chopped flesh’, that is to say ‘the injured flesh’ of the victims included in that tragic accident. To commit a sentimental mourning or a hasty sublimation of May 18th leads itself to a blind alley, which covers up and hides the feeling of guilty and anxiety embedded in the injured flesh. Injured flesh should be not so much the object of sublimation as the proclamation issued from the truth of May 18th and the embodied spirit of it. There spirit exists not as a medium of rising above and transcending the limits of injured flesh, but as a conscious testimony of the miserable desublimated flesh, through which we can start to make a new story of May 18th of Kwangju in these hard times of postmodernity. Yet, May 18th of Kwangju should not be the object of the theory of naive humanism, and the theory of the so called ‘absolute community’ too. Both theories are in total accord in that they assume that the reality be constructed upon the suppressive and anti-humane systems of a given structure, which should be overcome only by way of collective human behavior proving himself, his natural born right to liberty. It can be identified as a sort of a theoretical anti-humanism, which is no more than the repetition of the theory of a naive humanism. Instead, we should emphasize the tactics of self-destruction,that is to say, the reason and the ethics of practical anti-humanism which makes his or her supreme sacrifices to obtain the legitimacy of his or her political living itself. So, the destructed bodies, the marks of injured flesh are to be the starting point for making a new story of May 18th of Kwangju, which is well described throughout the sad story of a helpless little girl who lost her mother in a tragic massacre happened in the period of May 18th, the name of which is “A Leaf falls silent”, it is said that on behalf of the helpless little girl, we, the spectators should be the subject of producing and playing that new story, by way of which we can prove ourselves, and can be the agent of the complementary love in these hard times of postmodernity.

Focusing on the literature of 1980s' in Korea means to question the historical meaning of the collective memories about that times. There being some keen tensions between the truth and memories, facts and the fictitious, this should be the tasks of literary criticism. This essay investigates the works written for recent 20years by Bang, Hyun-Suk, who has been estimated as one of the most famous labor novelists of korean 1980s', through which it can be seen how the 1980s' resistant and combatant humanism, with a peculiar charactering way of individual human pathos, can adjust or renew itself to the needs of 1990s' new generation. Humanism, as a kind of liberated anthropology, is a way of envisioning the optimum conditions for human being and the desirable social relationship within individuals. As Bang, Hyun-Suk was a chief author who explored in his works the 1980s' resistant movement guided by combatant humanism, he could be a good testimony for the last 20years' vigorous efforts of korean literature concerning on new visions of another humanism. Major works are as follows, House of Opening the Future up(『내일을 여는 집』, 1991), During Ten Years(『십년간』, 1995), Time of Eating Lobster(『랍스터를 먹는 시간』, 2003).

The career of Garam(嘉藍) Lee, Byung-Gi and his study of korean classical literature ranges from the poet of Shijo(時調, a three-verse korean ode) & it's theorist, via a member of early Hangeul(Korean Alphabet) movement who tried to develop the literacy of korean modern literature, an outstanding korean classical critic to the first generation of modern scholars devoted to the study of korean classical literature. His diverse career has a magnificent meaning related to the history of the progress of our korean literature study such as 1920s' movement for national culture, founding our country's literary tradition. This thesis tries to elucidate the historical and scholastic meaning of Garam(嘉藍) Lee, Byung-Gi's career by investigating his writing on ‘How to make Shijo new’(時調革新 論), which seems to be the privileged place of monitoring his total academic achievement. ‘How to make Shijo new’(時調革新 論), a famous treatise of Garam(嘉藍) Lee, Byung-Gi, can make him to take himself away from a cultural nationalist group of dilettantes, to join the specialized academy of korean classical literature study based on documentary positivism.

예향(禮鄕)의 시민이 된다는 것 - 『혼불』읽기의 한 방식

HonBul(The Light of Soul), written by Choi, Myoung-Hee, one of the most famous female writers in Korea, is a large-scale historical narrative famous of it's vast and detailed knowledge about the traditional Korean folk customs. The fact that a vast range of popular morals of ancient Korean community are introduced and depicted to its substantial essence is it's virtue. But the novel also is known as having some definite limit that the amount of knowledge is too large to keep balance with the historical narratives of the lives of the contemporary people and historical meaning inherent in their lives of that era. So, because the novel's knowledge about the facts overwhelms and substitutes the specific lives of historical beings, to some critics, the novel is regarded showing deficiency as a historical narrative from which in it's own definition be demanded a narrative of organizational totality of a specific times, spaces, objects and human lives. It seems to be because of the novel's undifferentiated mixing historical law of cause and effect with a vast, but fragmented knowledges of traditional customs. Nevertheless, HonBul(The Light of Soul) should be lifted out of it's all defects, and so be the author, because the universe of HonBul reconstructed by author is shining brilliantly with the valuable cultural heritage of our own nation, and because the light of which is providing so much bright spot to our contemporary civil life. The traditional community depicted in HonBul is a world consisted of true hearted human beings, noble formalities of politeness and respect for neighbors. That it is so-called a community of courtesy, forgotten in our present mundane world full of vulgar customs and relationships, is very the fact because of which HonBul and it's author should be respected constantly.

1980년대 문학을 연구하는 일은 기억 속에 존재하는 전대의 삶의 양상을 역사적으로 살피는 일이다. 진실과 기억 사이, 사실과 허구 사이의 긴장이 존재하는 만큼 이 일은 전형적으로 문학적 연구의 몫이라 할 수 있다. 이 글은 1980년대가 낳은 노동소설 작가인 방현석의 최근 20년간 작품을 살핀다. 이 일을 통해 1980년대의 저항적 인본주의와 전투적 이성이 소환해 들였던 사적 정념들의 지위가 그 이후 시기 작품들에 의해 어떤 방식으로 처리되고, 또한 새로운 휴머니즘의 형식으로 재소환되고 있는지를 살핀다. 휴머니즘은 바람직한 세상과 인간학에 대한 비전이라고 할 수 있다. 방현석은 1980년대의 시대정신인 저항적 인본주의와 그것의 촉매제인 전투적 이성에 입각한 서사 양상을 가장 잘 보여주는 작가 중 하나이므로, 그의 작품은 지난 20년간 한국문학이 축적해 온 휴머니즘에 관한 다양한 전망을 추적할 수 있는 좋은 사례이다. 대상작은 『내일을 여는 집』(1991), 『십년간』(1995), 『랍스터를 먹는 시간』(2003)이다.
