이청준 소설에 나타난 토포필리아의 수사학 - 존재론적 실향의식을 중심으로 - = A Study on the Rhetoric of Topophilia in Lee Cheong-jun's Fictions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to investigate the rhetorical characteristics of topophilia in Lee Cheong-jun's fictions. Indeed, the hometown continues to be a constant theme of Lee Cheong-jun's work. The hometown, especially the countryside and the rural, is represented in terms of harmony, beauty, stability, tradition, peace, innocence and virtue. However, the hometown has no fixed images, meanings or representations since it undergoes a rapid process of social and cultural changes, fundamentally as a consequence of modernization.

Lee Cheong-jun has come to understand his hometown (Jangheung) as the realm of absence, of lack and of loss with his homecoming. Lee Cheong-jun experiences trauma when he has realized hometown is opposed to reality, a purely illusory product of the imagination and has consciousness of ontological homelessness. We should note here that the act of Lee's fiction writing is a defence against consciousness of ontological homelessness.

This paper argues that in this respect Lee's fiction writing involves topophilia. The term ‘topophilia’ is usually used in the context of the affective bond between people and place or setting. From my viewpoint, however, topophilia is closely related to (un)conscious desire to veil the absence of hometown. In other words, I emphasize the protective function of topophilia.

There are two main ways in which Lee Cheong-jun characterises topophilia. Lee Cheong-jun's fictions may thus be distinguished by the particular way in which they use rhetorical strategies to veil the absence in the hometown. For example, Lee's fictions use (1) the rhetoric of structure repressing or concealing the absence of hometown and (2) the rhetoric of metaphor. Especially, the rhetoric of metaphor makes a meaning of hometown ‘a category far wider and more abstract'. These rhetorical strategies constitute the most original feature of topophilia in Lee Cheong-jun's work. After all, Lee Cheong-jun's fiction writing as topophilia enables him to sustain his desire for the hometown, and his homecoming drive(death drive) to be continually deferred.
