비엣 탄 응웬의 동조자에 나타난 형제애 고찰과 국제관계론적 해석 = A Study on Brotherhood in The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen and the Interpretation in Terms of International Relations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

During the Vietnam War and later periods, the three male characters in Viet Thanh Nguyen's novel, The Sympathizer, have a strong brotherhood that prioritizes each other's safety while pursuing different political ideologies of liberalism and communism. Their brotherhood has many implications for the friendly international relations established between the countries, such as Vietnam, the United States, and South Korea, to The Vietnam War as well as at the time, as it extends to fraternity and humanity. This paper examines the implications of the brotherhood in which the male characters in Nguyen's hottest work, The Sympathizer, want to live together, focusing on international relations mostly after The Vietnam War. To this end, this paper first diagnoses the necessity of interpretation in terms of international relations theory by critically analyzing the general research trend and previous studies that explained brotherhood of this work.
Next, after rereading the text focusing on brotherly love, the researcher reveals the fictitious nature of the international situation and political ideology during and after The Vietnam War, and then illuminates the meaning of brotherly love in the novel, and applies it to the situation at the time in terms of international relations. Contrary to the existing approaches, this study is especially meaningful in revealing that the friendship between the protagonist, who plays the role of intermediary, and his two friends, can be a peace ethics applicable to current international relations. In addition, this paper emphasizes the consensus on the painful history due to the foreign intervention of Western countries such as the United States and France, Communist forces of China and Russia, and the Empire of Japan. Finally, a follow-up study is expected to examine the implications of the phrase in which the protagonist vowed to live in the plural at the end of the novel.
