李炳注 小說에 나타난 테러리즘의 問題 = Terrorism in Lee, Byong Joo’s Novels

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to examine the correlation between the political ideology as refinement and the artistic self-consciousness in Lee, Byong Joo’s novels and reconceptualize the relation between terrorism and the autonomy of art. Thus this paper intensively analyzed the issue of “Terrorism and Autonomy of Art” and “Love and Art”, focusing on his first work “Novel, Alexandria” (1965) and his work in late period “Everything for the Terrorist”(1983). The autonomy of art of the leading character in “Novel, Alexandria” (1965)”, which expresses author’s culturalism and exot- icism compressively, is maintained by keeping a distance from ideology or political action(terrorism). This novel unveils one aspect of modernity, the disunity between art and ideology in the separation between art and ide- ology. This novel is constructed on the letters between a ideologist(older brother) and an artist(younger brother), which indicates this novel is nothing but a writing based upon culturalism embracing the autonomy of art. In “Everything for the Terrorist”, terrorism and the autonomy of art, however, are not separated from each other, yet are united in one human type. This novel accords the image of an autonomous artist to the image of a ter- rorist. The political autonomy of a terrorist and the ethics of self of ter- rorist resembles the autonomy of an artist structurally. Furthermore this novel defines a terrorist anonymously and saves terrorism and art from the standardized conceptualization. He transforms terrorism and art into anonymous passion that preserves individuality and autonomy that can never be conceptualized, yet this is, eventually, suggested at the level of liberal discourse, the discourse of the characters about terrorism and art.
The specialness in Lee, Byong Joo’s literature is that he highlighted the new agenda about modernity of art and aesthetic modernity by par- alleling both the political and ideological topics and the issues related to the autonomy of art. Lee, Byong Joo’s works about terrorism and art show the two aspects-ideological self-justification and fictitious self-surveillance simultaneously, which is the refraction of liberalism and culturalism of the author in novels. Futhermore the unity and disunity between self-justi- fication and self-criticism is a characteristics of ‘modernity’.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

本考는 李炳注 小說에서 敎養으로서의 政治 思想과 藝術家적 自意識과의 상관관계에 주목하자 한다. 登壇作 「소설, 알렉산드리아」에서 主人公의 태도에서 나타나는 藝術의 自律性은 思想이나 政治的 行動(테러리즘)과의 거리두기를 통해 유지된다. 「그 테러리스트를 위한 만사」에 오면 테러리스트의 이미지에 自律的 藝術家 이미지를 부여한다.
敎養主義的 태도와 예술의 自律性은 李炳注의 소설 속에서 모순된 관계 속에 있다. 李炳注의 小說은 이데올기적 自己 正當化와 소설적 自己 監視라는 두 가지 측면을 동시에 보여주며, 이것은 作家의 敎養主義와 自由主義가 소설의 形式 안에서 굴절되는 양상이기도 하다. 李炳注의 소설은 이데올로기와 소설의 主體와 맺는 現代的 관련을 풍부하게 드러내는 소설 텍스트라는 측면에서, 韓國現代小說이 도달한 하나의 문제적인 장소를 보여준다. 이런 맥락에서 李炳注 文學은 ‘美的’ 現代性의 문제에 있어서도 중요한 의미를 갖는다.
