문학교육과 환상 : 현대소설에 나타난 변신 모티프와 환상 = Transformation Motif in Modern Novels and Fantasy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study set out to investigate the meanings of diverse fantasy texts in modern novels through the patterns of transformation motif by analyzing how fantasy was formed in what networks with the reality of the times. The same transformation motif can manifest itself in diverse meaning changes as the aspects of the times are reflected and thus contribute to the broader horizon of fantasy literature. Subversiveness, one of the characteristics of fantasy literature defined by Jackson, lies in the vein of the logic of resistance discourse, which offers crucial implications for the reasons behind today`s modern authors` interest in fantasy. The study focused on the works by Jang Yong-hak, Choi In-hun, Choi In-ho, Kim Yeong-ha, Song Gyeong-a, Oh Su-yeon, and Han Kang. The transformation motif in Yeokseongseoseol by Jang Yong-hak and Guwoonmong by Choi In-hun leads the way to the fantasy to reveal the critical awareness of the post-war generation. The Room of Others by Choi In-ho has the characteristics of a fantasy text to show alienation and absence of communication in the industrialization era. In the 1990s authors` interest in fantasy increased both in quality and quality. By reviewing High-Tension Lines, Books, Invisible Man, Bugs, and Fruit of My Lady, the investigator found out that the fantasy texts reflected the diverse aspects of society.
