포스트구조주의적 서사의 조건 고찰: 배수아의 『멀리 있다 우루는 늦을 것이다』(2019)를 경유하여

Abstract

This thesis aims to examine the conditions of poststructuralist narratives while analyzing Being Far away, Uru will be late (Bae Su-ah, 2019). Therefore, this thesis first advocates the narrative theory of post-structuralism. However, while analyzing Bae Su-ah’s recent novel, Being Far away, Uru will be late, you will also be able to explore the important features of the author’s novel language. And you will explore these revealing that this novel shows the maturity of the writer’s post-structuralist orientation. The topographical map of the discourses that refer to “post” is usually not arranged. Among these the relationship between modernism and post-modernism is the most ambiguous. Therefore, rather than exploring the so-called “postmodern condition” as an ambiguous conception of criticism, this thesis will establish the new post-structuralist conditions of narrative based on Derrida’s post-structuralist philosophy, Saussure and Jacobson’s linguistics, and Freud and Lacan’s psychoanalysis. The work that this paper specifically performs is the following three. The first is to closely connect the language structure to the post-structuralist world-view by specifying the language structure of the unconscious that is woven through metaphor and metonymy. This will further contrast modernism and post-modernism. The second is to apply structural narratology to post-structuralist philosophy and linguistics to identify post-structuralist language at the level of narrative rather than everyday language. Third, by analyzing Bae Su-ah’s text, which is the epitome of such a narrative, it contributes to polishing the language of criticism that can analyze such a novel.
