1980년대 운동권에 대한 기억과 진보의 감성 - 김영현, 박일문, 공지영의 90년대 소설을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper think about the sensibility of the progressive described in the novels of nineties of Kim Yeonghyeon, Kong Jiyeong and Park Ilmun, which novels narrate the memory of student movement of eighties. The novels of these writers go beyond the reflection of ideology learned by intellectuals and labors of eighties and are based on the introspection of them. These novels arose a question, why the memory of student movement of eighties is always recalled in the level of ‘sensibility’. Also the novels of those writers contain the revolution of sensitivity merged with critical intellect of the progressive. And these literary works show the ‘absence of sensibility’ or have a form of dedicating only the selected sensibility to the movement. The novels narrating the student movement of eighties, contain the emotion and words which was not represented because of the air of the times, which suppress individual sensibility. This kind of irruption of sensibility belongs to the eighties and at the same time, exceed the eighties. This is because there are two kinds of sensibility in those novels, one is the sensibility existed in the eighties and the other is the sensibility of shame, sense of guilt and longing come from the memory of the writers. These novels need to be read again in the aspect of narcissism literature of nineties. Characters in these novels introspect ideology of eighties and themselves of present through the process of reminding the sensibility abandoned or dedicated by themselves. It means that the reappearance of writer’s sensibility do not disappear or stay only in themselves but can be realistic energy which introspect society and history or bring drastic change.
