이청준 소설에 나타난 ‘희생제의’로서의 글쓰기 의미 고찰

Abstract

The writing, to Authors in novels of Lee Cheong-Jun, has a character of the ‘Sacrificial Ritual’, rescue the society through the sacrifice of individual. The writing, as Pharmakos of ‘Sacrificial Ritual’,is the contemplation of the literary theory of Lee Cheong-Jun on Practicability of the Author. The share of practicability given to Author is prophetical awakening to the circumstance of his time, and Pharmakos as of sacrificial resolution through the awakening. ‘Sacrificial Ritual’ has dual significations. One is ‘Sacrificial Ritual’ as of violence, expressed by Girard, to settle the public sentiment through innocent scape goat, as of collective selfishness of the society, and the other has the signification of savior of mankind by God sacrificing itself. Regardless of the time the sacrificial victim has its symptom, and ‘Authoring incapable in writing’, in novels of Lee Cheong-Jun, are the existences of symptom of Pharmakos for ‘Sacrificial Ritual’. In any community the existence in the most extreme position, such as ‘Rich/Poor’, ‘Successful one/Failed one’, ‘High class/Low class’ and ‘Beautiful one/Ugly one’, have symptom of scape goat. Those existences in extreme position stimulates psychologic violence of public. The other symptom of scape goat are foreigner, stranger and minority, opposition of majority. As they are not a member of community, they are not capable to revenge even though sacrificed. The symptom of scape goat, in novels of Lee Cheong-Jun, is either disabled one or an alienated ones like a stranger, not possible to dissolve into the community. So those are the one cannot resist or revenge though selected as a scape goat. Blind sister in ‘Seopyunje’,disabled, limping Alami in ‘Worm Story’, squint-eyed sister in ‘Pregnant Man’, those are physically deficient ones. The other types are disadvantaged ones and frustrated ones from both practical and ideal worlds, such as authoring, singer trying to keep arts, master craftsman. Thus the writing for Lee Cheong-Jun has a dual signification of ‘Sacrificial Ritual’ from collective violence and from fatal selection of sacrificing oneself to save the community. Therefore the signification of writing in ‘Sacrificial Ritual’ is to understand the tragic reality,Writer, a stranger from his own community, should be a scape goat under collective violence, and also to select a fate of Pharmakos as a share of practical writing to save public from violent reality. In this study these two significations have brought together in general as the signification of writing as of ‘Sacrificial Ritual’, and it has been contemplated through repeating and variating motif in narration.
