이효석 소설에서의 ‘애욕’ 연구

Abstract

This article tried to reinterpret “the life itself” in Lee Hyo-suk’s saying, starting from Lee’s answer against critics who rated his novels as ‘eroticism’. When we regard Lee’s novels as ‘eroticism’, the bottom line is that his novels kept themselves from contemporary reality. And the nonusual lifestyle in ‘the blue house’ in the pollen was a basis of these interprets. But if we read these texts more closely, we can find out that Lee’s novels shows his contemporary awareness of social/economical reality. The characters in his novels shows that the sexual desire can be exist based on the socio-economic contexts. Therefore, we can read two levels of perspective. The first one can be catched from the subject who is attracted by primordial places. The second one can be found from the narrator, who objectificate the first perspective. The second perpective exposes the fact that the primordial place can’t be exists itself. In this contexts, ‘the life itself’ can’t be regarded as the primitive instinct. ‘The life itself’ in not the thing that can be explored by erasing all the social conditions , but the thing tha can be construed as a mechanism which includes various social conditions registered.
