멜랑꼴리적 국가와 어린이의 가족로망스 －해방직후 <어린이신문>에 나타난 어린이 주체성에 관한 소고－ = Melancholic Nation and Children’s Family Romance - Focusing on Child Subjectivity from The Children’s Newspaper after the Liberation of Korea -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper examines the structure of modern nation-state and the child as a subject of the ‘new chosun.’ The structure of the nation refers to a psychological and ideological paradigm that seeks to restore a sense of loss concerning the miserable past through the child. For this discussion, this paradigm will be termed the ‘melancholic structure of the nation.’ In particular, given that both the pre-liberation and post-liberation structures consider the child as an ideal object, this paper will be based on the premise that, from a psychoanalytic perspective, these two structures are similar but different. The reason for discussing the relationship between the nation's structure and the subject from a psychoanalytic viewpoint is that it shows the ruptures of reality through the subject's desire and lack. In addition, this approach allows us to understand such conditions not as pathological or exceptional phenomena, but as universal and structural ones.
The child in reality, who has become a ‘debtor subject’ under the melancholic nation, imagines and reconstructs their identity through the framework of the ‘family romance.’
