폐쇄적 기호 창조자의 기억법 고찰 -김영하의 『살인자의 기억법』에 관하여- = A Study on a symbol creator whose way of memorizing is closed -On the novel 「The Memory of the Murderer」 written by Kim Young-ha-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to attempt a new reading on the novel of 『Memory of the Murderer』 written by Kim Young-ha. The novel is described as a confession statement that makes the reader feel the authenticity of the narrative. Nevertheless, narrative indicators that reveal ambiguity reserve the judgment of its authenticity. This is related to the way the narratorcharacter 'I' constructs one’s own memories. 'I' projects experiences on objects in the world to create symbols and manipulate them. Because 'I' is the one who is with the intention of creating one's own life by symbolizing the object. This is embodied in actions such as writing that 'I' continues. The subjects who project their experiences are favored with signs that indicate the direction of life, signs that threaten the will, and signs that reveal differences in perception with others.
'I' is trying to preserve my memory through records. In this process, 'alzheimer’s disease', which encourages forgetfulness, serves as an opportunity to drive memories. At this time, 'I' reveals the intention to historize one's own life as a monument. 'I' wants to make one's life absolute. Also 'I' tries to justify this through standards that depend on one's beliefs.
It is a universal way of memory for humans to make up a life exclusively of objects. However, 'I' overlooks the possibility of a new interpretation of the experienced symbol. 'I' also refuses to interpret objects autonomously and share their preferred memories with others. Memory of the Murderer focuses on this way of remembering, that is how life is constructed. And it presents a reason why being willing to justify one's experience through symbols is catastrophic.
