구술 생애담에서 ‘결핍’의 기억과 서사구연방식

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the memory of deficiency on the narrative’s way of expression in The Oral Life Story. To this end, we first investigated the pattern of deficiency in the life story and the narrative structure. His deficiency in his life story can be divided into three categories. These are the ‘absence of school education’, life as a ‘military evasion’, and the ‘poverty’ they had to endure. And it can be confirmed that Ahn Seong-man's life story, which was made through these three deficiencies, has a narrative structure of ‘hardship - overcoming hardship’, and that this narrative structure follows the general narrative structure of oral life stories. The narrator's past life experiences affect the narrative's way of expression of life stories. The first characteristic of the narrative's way of expression is the detailed description of the difficult situation. In particular, the moment when he was caught by the police while hiding as a ‘military evasion’ is described very specifically, giving the listener a sense of urgency and presence. In addition, it can be seen that he is forming a literary figure by describing in detail his feelings about his life, which he had to live like that. The second characteristic of the narrative's way expression is that it expresses the emotion of regret through repeated narratives. This characteristic is more prominent in the narrative created by the deficiency of a ‘military avoider’, and by repeating the expression ‘My nickname is a false-military evasion’, he expresses the emotion of regret for his shameful past. The third characteristic of the narrative's way expression is the expression of self-love through positive expressions. At the end of a story about a topic, Ahn Seong-man always takes a narrative style that reveals his acceptance and trust in himself, which is an opportunity that can be afforded to those who have overcome hardship due to lack through their own efforts. The characteristics of the narrative's way expression of the life story are the same as the fingerprints of the speaker's past life. Therefore, the perception of life and judgment about oneself, which are revealed through the narrative's way expression of the life story, must be true, at least for himself.
