이외수와 윌리엄 포크너 소설들 속에 나타나는 주이상스 = Jouissance Found in Fictions Written by Lee Waesoo and William Faulkner

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study intends to analyze the characters in the short story A Rose for Emily written by William Faulkner (1897-1962) and a novel Deulgae (Wild Dog) written by Lee Oi-soo focusing on jouissance, the theory of Lacan. In particular, this study revisits ontological problems of the characters by analyzing the alienation and isolation from the society and death in life focusing on psychoanalytic theory of Lacan.
Faulkner is a writer who are excellent in describing dehumanization caused by discrimination and alienation that are continuously occurring in the relationship between the self and the others with his sharp views on the problem. As is with many characters shown in the story, the heroin of A Rose for Emily is a representative character who is on the side of marginalized others struggling and having conflicts locked in human desire caused by the sense of loss and deprivation. Emily, like other women of that time, is described as a typical tragic character who lost her voice and ended her death in life without moving away from the suppression under the ideology of the southern society and the shackles of “women” under the patriarchal system. As he stated in an interview, Faulkner was interested in the agony of individuals who are in conflicts with oneself, other individuals, one’s time and space and environment. As such, he pointed out the problems of modern society through individuals who experience the loss of independence and select closed life to feel complacent in their lives in his story.
Deulgae (Wild Dog) written by Lee Waesoo deals with critics on materialism and modern people who are in agony and conflicts due to repressive system and contradiction, irrationality and illogicality in the society, The novel presents a man and a women who agonized in the repressive rules and orders demanded by the society focusing on materialism and who selected the life of “death in life” trying to restore their identity and independence. They led the life in wild nature in the discarded building and desired to go back to human nature, meaning the desire of themselves, which was never supposed to be achieved, by completing their respective “great work.” But their desire ended with tragic in front of the great ideology of materialism forced by the society. What they pursued in the modern society where realistic laws and rules are powerful can be said as the establishment of their ontological characteristics that exist beyond the reality. But their desire to achieve their ontological characteristics had to be discouraged in front of the power of argument that is not seen in the reality.
