변혁의 주변에서―6월 항쟁 이후 정치적 주체의 다기한 형성과 세대인식의 교차―

Abstract

The purpose of this study is looking into the intricate forms of political subjects emerging in the novels which went through the June Democracy Movement, a revolutionary period. The novels which are about the June Democracy Movement and the 1987 Great Labor Movement do not directly reproduce moral bearers of revolution represented as university students and laborers. They rather claim that politics of possible literature was being sought by reproducing the chaos by those who had been hesitating at the threshold of revolution. In other words, they were not standing at the center of the June Democracy Movement but ‘waited and watched’ the moment of revolution from nearby or ‘changed their minds’ after being captivated by middle-class desires and the stories of those who had been hesitating to partake in it amid ‘frustration’ from losing view were being captured. Such an aspect of reproduction reflects the different views toward the June Democracy Movement among generations and this brought about the cause of movement history being raised again in politics of daily life. Therefore, this study aims to look into the works which secure political character and democratic possibility of literature from the most unpolitical places by giving the portion back to those who did not have the right to speak in the 1980s novels which were seeking revolution. This will explore the social characters of the June Democracy Movement’s (anti-) political reproduction aspects in detail.
