李光洙 長篇小說에 있어서의 怨恨의 政治詩學 －「흙」을 중심으로－

Abstract

his essay aims to examine the characteristics of politics in Lee Kwang Soo' Novel through revealing the way how the relation of power between the intellectual class and the people is structuralized in the dialectic relation between a cognitive structure and a emotive structure of <Heuk>(Soil). The cognitive structure in <Heuk> is built by the consciousness of mission called serving the community for the people with the character Hu Soong who enlighten people in terms of a sacrificed asceticism. Hu Soong's asceticism come into cognitive effect to awaken the ideal of ‘Chosun-ness' in a process of the otherizing the modern female bodies and the people who don't have the vision about future. However, the fundamental cause to be otherizing the modern female bodies and people lie in the emotion of ressentiment, that Nietzsche views as the emotional characteristics of slave morality, of Hu Soong against an aristocrat class. After all, 'love for compatriots' which is the doctrine of Enlightment' experiment unfolded by Hu Soong is based on the common humanity but in the emotive structure' level is a product of the value inversion that makes the feeling of ressentiment into the value of love. The tow main narratives of Heuk which is unfolded by a sacrificed asceticism triangle between hero and heroine, a Enlightment-narrative and a love-narrative express the logic of this value inversion.
