영화 속에 나타난 범죄의 사회적 의미 - 근대국가체제 국민보호 기능 분석을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how social meanings of crime are explained focused on the function of civilian protection of modern states system in the movie ‘War against crime: the golden days for bad guys(2011). The state in the movie appears as a public prosecutor, National Security Agency employee, and etc. instead of a organization or police officer of governmental authority. And it shows a good resource how the state of the systems conducts the functions of the civilian protection. This research use narrative analyses to discuss how the state of the systems conducts the functions of the civilian protection. That is, it has three steps as in the following; the description as a course of life historiesㆍsocialization of characters, analytic extraction that interprets the described courses of life historiesㆍsocialization based on the theoretical frames, and comparison, analyzation, and generalization of the interpreted the course of life historiesㆍsocialization of characters. Above all, the interdependence of life histories among characters is ‘instrumental dependency’to be a promotion and success between prosecutors, ‘depencency for money and power’among Choi, ikhyun, prosecutor, a member of the National Assembly, and a National Security Agency employee, ‘cooperative dependency’between Choi, ikhyun and Cho, bumsuk. Secondly, existential sense of responsibility that people introspect whether the enjoying privileges and benefits are reasonable and fair depends on the recognition about the concept of solidarity and justice. However the characters don’t seem to have the existential sense of responsibility, but do the social conventions that the family is the only one that they should believe. Thirdly, it is the solidarity behaviors. The behaviors are regarded as the crime according to the dimension of state because characters prefer the interest between senior-junior relationships among prosecutors rather than the fulfillment of investigation principles. Also, the relationships of family and kinship makes any kinks of crime be innocent. To sum up, the nation is explained to the two phrases. First, it is powerless and corrupt nation. Second, the nation is less important than the interest of family and relatives. What’s worse, the nation reveals the non-modern systems that protect assailants rather than victims through punishment of the assailant who does not conspire with the nation. As long as the nation is not able to conduct the functions of civilian protections, it is impossible to achieve macroscopic solidarity, as well as to expand and develop the welfare systems that is premised national burden. The movie implies that this image of nation can be the present figure even though the background was the 1980s in the movie. This study analyze the phrases of nation that does not function of civilian protection through the narratives of characters in the movie of ‘War against crime: the golden days for bad guys(2011)’. Accordingly, it has limitations in terms of that the images of nation as the systems have not made through a various movies related to crimes. However, this movie can be well worth analyzing as the subject materials that are able to generalize the public awareness toward the nation if it considers the influence that the movie, ‘War against crime: the golden days for bad guys(2011)’ mobilize more than 470,000 people.
