우리 모더니즘 소설의 통시적 의미 고찰 -일상성, 동일성, 욕망을 중심으로- = A Study on the Analysis of Modernism Novels by Diachronic Meaning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was to analyze modernism novels of several authors from 1930s to 1960s by trend of the time, with `modernity` as a possible core that gives modernism novels consistency. Distinctively from existing studies of modernism novels which have focused on technical side or reflection of English modernism, this study was to reveal the way of professing modernity based on three keys - routine, identity, and desire. In modernism novels of 1930s, Lee Sang`s and Park Taewon`s, aesthetic resistance to the repression which distorts the reality appears. The authors give weight to the impact of culture shock and sexual desire and point the gap between routine and desire as the cause of alienation and unstable self-identity one step forward. Modernism novels in 1950s, Son Changseop`s and Chang Yonghak`s, explore identity on existential level, having lost positive prospect for modern age and rationality in routine ruins of war. Society is described as distorted one where conflict and submission is dominant while rational communication is impossible. Authors emphasizes self-examination and issue identity problem persistently. In modernism novels of 1960s, Kim Seungok`s and Lee Cheongjoon`s, authors tell concretely about routines as the necessary consequence of modern industrialization and urbanization, emphasize the broken image of individual and alienation as the result of awareness of crisis and the growing desire for escape to the place where one could be out of others` desire and make one`s ideal come true. In conclusion, Korean modernism novels start from the alienation of self and the artistic desire for escape from routine, and seek for the identity of self.
