라캉의 정신분석 담론을 통해본 황석영의 <손님>론

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to read Hwang Sukyoung`s Sonnim(Guest, 1991) in terms of Jacques Lacan`s psychoanalytic theory of discourse. It is not unreasonable assertion that his theory of four discourses, which reinterprets Dialectic of master and slave in Hegel`s Phenomenology of Spirit, is to witness a important dimension of human civilization. The development of Korean modern society can be summarized as `condensed modernization`. This term has been used in the field of politics and economics. From now on, this term may be used in the field of humanities and social science. Korean modern society has achieved cultural products for only one century while western modern society had acquired them in hard way for many centuries. Probably Sonnim may be representative work of Korean cultural products. In his work we can see master`s discourse, university`s discourse, hysteric`s discourse and analytic`s discourse. These four types of discourse is useful tool to analyze Korean modern society. First master`s discourse is based on the relationship between master and slave. The master`s discourse is very useful to know how to shape the history of ideological madness. University`s discourse can account for not only the pussyfoot of intellectuals but also the possibility for new society. Hysteric`s discourse, which is discourse of revolution, can explain the adversity of life and questions about the history of yoke. Finally analyst`s discourse reveals the historical reflection and sublime mourning about ideological realities. Every society shows Lacan`s four discourses. The characteristics of a society can be determined according to which discourse governs a society. In Sonnim, the author indicted and remitted all war crimes that had occurred in Chansemgol, Shincheon, Hwanghaedo-province, which was the protagonist, Yosub`s hometown during the Korean War. This action includes the mourning about both the ghost of painful cold war and ideology that should not be repeated. This mourning is an ultimate theme of Sonnim. The mourning can result in forgetting the traditional living life work and invoking historical reflection that Korean people experienced ideological trauma and that Korea was divided in two despite he accepted modern new science and became Zealot(Yulsimdang). Sonnim shows readers that ideology is empty and in vain at the moment that trauma was inscribed. This is why the author defines christianity and marxism as guest.
