초록
“Twilight Saga” is a collection of 19th-century Gothicness/Gothicism, including vampires, werewolves and a variety of subjects as new comprehensive bodies. It may be categorized as a young adult genre, a strange folktale based on comic books, Soon Jung Manwha, or fantasy that unfolds its imagination or teratology. These hybrid effects of Meyer’s texts ultimately raise questions about subjectivity. These works could be regarded as Gothic resurrection and/or a modern variation from Gothicness/Gothicism with the features of duality and hybridity beyond the boundaries. Though vampires as the subjects transgressing the boundaries are difficult to define, the Gothic beings that violate several taboos are to induce a shift in thinking and expand the horizon of perception, thereby bringing up the various meanings of subjects. “Twilight Saga” should not be read without monstrosity lest it be regarded as a simple popular novel. In order for modern Gothic texts to exert further influences on readers and to make new Gothic posthuman subjects, they should not lose the original Gothicness/Gothicism. It is noteworthy that the vampires were encroached by zombies, once being the objects of disgust and/or obscure evil. The vampires of “Twilight Saga”, one of which is Edward as a protagonist of Soon Jung Manhwa, blur the original (non)monstrous boundaries again. Meyer's vampires, a successful example of culturation beyond literature, are attractive since they are on the borderline of monstrosity and humanity.
Abstract
“Twilight Saga” is a collection of 19th-century Gothicness/Gothicism, including vampires, werewolves and a variety of subjects as new comprehensive bodies. It may be categorized as a young adult genre, a strange folktale based on comic books, Soon Jung Manwha, or fantasy that unfolds its imagination or teratology. These hybrid effects of Meyer’s texts ultimately raise questions about subjectivity. These works could be regarded as Gothic resurrection and/or a modern variation from Gothicness/Gothicism with the features of duality and hybridity beyond the boundaries. Though vampires as the subjects transgressing the boundaries are difficult to define, the Gothic beings that violate several taboos are to induce a shift in thinking and expand the horizon of perception, thereby bringing up the various meanings of subjects. “Twilight Saga” should not be read without monstrosity lest it be regarded as a simple popular novel. In order for modern Gothic texts to exert further influences on readers and to make new Gothic posthuman subjects, they should not lose the original Gothicness/Gothicism. It is noteworthy that the vampires were encroached by zombies, once being the objects of disgust and/or obscure evil. The vampires of “Twilight Saga”, one of which is Edward as a protagonist of Soon Jung Manhwa, blur the original (non)monstrous boundaries again. Meyer's vampires, a successful example of culturation beyond literature, are attractive since they are on the borderline of monstrosity and humanity.
