한국 현대소설 분석 방법론 시론 -동일성을 중심으로- = An essay on analytic methodology in Korean modern novel - in stress on the ‘identity'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this thesis, we tried to systematize the theory of modern Korean novel through careful examination on the conception of identity in novel. Through this examination, it became clear that the identity is very useful to set up the theory of novel, although the identity is philosophical meaning, it provides the key to the original question of man. And it also became clear that man is a kind of being, who quest for self-identity forever, that the literature is a presentation of this procedure in language through novel.
In this paper, first, we built up the foundation in the meaning of (quest story) through the reinterpretation on the tale of King Uri’. Second, in the angle of sociology of novel, we certified how the history- philosophical situation make a problematic individual; that the inclination of novel, arised in the society of bourgeois, is the lost priori home through Lukacs’ aesthetics. Furthermore, it could be certified that main character’s journey of contradictory life in pain, in which he is looking for〈hidden God) with the tragic view of the world, is inherent form of novel through Goldmann’s aesthetics, we also certified that these all are the kind of quest for the essence of human being and the journey to look for the identity concurrent.
In the angle of structuralism, it was certified that the process of compile in diachronic and synchronic relation through the time and space is the possesion of identity eventually. This can be another analysis of quest story.
Finally, in the angle of reception aesthetics, we examined the phenomena of reading in characters and contents in the case of phenomenology. Especially, we stressed on the ‘image’, in that the topic of imagination and recollection raised as an important issue.
we believe that this paper can be useful study in the fact that reformation of identity, through these imagination and recollection, is regarded to literary reality.
