The micro-power's working that is the condition of postmodernism, aim to the field of culture, desire and unconsciousness. Realism and modernism have the condition of and everyday experience that is controled by visible macro-power. On the contrary, the power of postmodernism permeate into the micro-field that was the position of resistance to the power in the daily life. This mean that the capitalism power control the whole world perfectly and suggest that the space of non-identity standing against to the identity as unconsciousness, culture, and arts are going to disappear. And the micro-power can make other to be under the rule voluntarily without a compulsion so the micro-power's permeation lead to the extinction of the communication with others, and this lead to that we feel nothingness and discouragement.
With this on the assumption that the micro-power lead to the breakdown of communication with 'the other' in postmodernism, the goal of this study is to analysis Kim, Young-Ha's literary work that capturing well the actual state and discuss about the respondent strategy of postmodernism through the strategy of a novel.
In the chapter Ⅱ, this study investigate about the late capitalism that spreaded into the area of culture and knowledge and inquire about the social alteration and the communication with 'the other'. Especially, this study pay attention to how the postmodernism strategy use consciously in Kim, Young-Ha's Early short stories that shows the characteristic of the 'novels of new generation' by applying the experience of new media material.
In the chapter Ⅲ, this study examine how the breakdown of communication coming into view by the spreading of micro-power in late capitalism. In postmodernism, the cultural industries are accepted with no rejection. The micro-power spread to the area of desire and unconsciousness so the commercialization of culture arts is not considered as disaster or absurd. This means that the power of capitalism holds the whole society completely. That is, the postmodernism society make people feel emptiness ,discouragement and indulgence in the logic of commodities.
In the first paragraph 「The call」, this study look into the object of communication through the character who have contradictory desire that thirst for the object of communication but they isolate themselves from others, and confirm why they fail to communicate that presented by 'imagination'. In the second paragraph 「The Meditation about a mirror」, this study discuss about the strategy of sexual desire and power employing, and consider about the process of socialization by accepting 'the Symbolic' as the law(and a father) of Lacan. In the third paragraph 「Chun, Tae-il and a Showgirl」, this study discuss about the strategy of micro-power that is providing the 'sufficiency desire' instead of the 'lack desire'. Now the power make bigger the satisfaction of desire instead keep down the desire by law. The desire is experienced as wastefulness and extravagance instead of lack, and in here, this study confirm the aspect of late capitalism that is just failed to communicate so remain as a lonely individual by considering the mechanism of desire and the inside of people searching the sufficiency desire.
In the chapter Ⅳ, by paying attention to the fact that the more often the capitalism control the more apposition is stronger, this study discuss about the strategy of postmodernism that is apposing to the late capitalism. The all-out and microscopic opposition strategy of postmodernism was getting out by 'deconstruction' meaning that the trial to explain of dialectic proposition as xenial interaction at the microscopic level. And postmodernism trial to break down the boundary in many field like culture or arts, but this study pay attention to the virtual reality as a fantasy, desire of escape and digital medium and discuss about how the deconstruction strategy function as the mechanism that make fill up the desire of communication.
In the first paragraph 「A Vampire」, the vampire who is lacking in ability of making people contagion showing the aspect of incapacity of a literary movement. This story showing the alternative actual that is breaking down the boundary between imagination and reality by the meta-fiction strategy and the fantasy as the strategy of communication in postmodernism. And in the second paragraph 「An Emergency exit」, this story showing the aspect of communicating with the other through film action and escape by making represent the narcissim characters, but they can't to make true communication so their desire lie behind so the desire come out as violence and escape. Lastly, in the third paragraph 「The wind id blowing」, this story shows the communication mode of the imaginary space by the computer simulation game. Through this simulation game's characters, we can experience a reality and fill up the lack of the reality. Through the communication structure that 'I - Game(Character) - She' the imaginary space is so flexible to communicate with a reality always.
With this, this study clarify the reason of severing the communication by the opposition strategy to the micro-power and diagnose the distinction and prospect of Korean literature after 1990's through Kim, Young-Ha's early short stories, and will be one of the attempt that show the possibility of communication with other in late capitalism period.
