외르케니의 에지뻬르쩨쉬 <이탈리아(Itália)> 연구 - 작품에 나타난 이탈리아의 이미지와 작품분석

Abstract

Örkény István's egyperces(a kind of short short story), <Itália> published in 1967 when the author was free from the formal and informal sanctions for about 17 years from the government. Although this work is composed of only 8 sentences, it is full of symbols and metaphors like his other egyperces. Relating to interpretation of his egyperces, once Örkény István compared the egyperces with the mathematical equations. This mathematical equation means that one member of the equation consists of the minimum which the writer would like to express, and the other member of the equation makes up the maximum that the readers can imagine. I tried to analyze this extremely short novel(egyperces) with the maximum of imagination. In this paper, I paid attention to the dual images in the antagonistic structure which we can find in the overall work like Italian conductor-Hungarian audience, opera performance-night entertainment, aristocratic figure-prostitute, guest-host, eternity like an art-momentary deal. And not only with the viewpoint of the contents, but also the expression of <Itália> like using italian words in the work, these dual images supply the readers with many frames of analysis. Among many frames of analysis, I tried to analyze the dual images as a political implications, because the Hungarian cultural policies imposed him on the sanction against the writer for 17 years. So I regard the image of <Un Ballo in Maschera> as a symbol of Risorsimento (Italian unification) and I suggested that through the very political movement, Örkény show the contrasting ideals and Hungarian realities. For this collation of images, I attempted analyzing them with the theories of Plato and Aristotle relating to the Idea and Mimesis.
