국가폭력과 사랑/연애 서사 - 해방 이후 박화성 소설에서 역사적 재난들과 역사의식의 변화

Abstract

This paper focuses on how the experiences and memories of National Violence are narrated in Park Hwa Seong’s novels, which are based on historical disasters such as Jeju 4 ․ 3, the Korean War, and the 4 ․ 19 Revolution. Symbols such as “Love,” “Life,” “Sun,” and signs such as “New Generation,” “Future,” and “Nation,” etc. frequently appear in the novels “Love” (1956-1957), “The Sun Is New Day by Day” (1960-1961), “The Wind on the Street” (1963-1964) and “Active Volcano”(1949)/“Dormant Volcano” (1973). In addition, this article asks why Park Hwa Seong’s novels are accompanied by a love/love narrative in dealing with the experiences and memories of historical disasters while passing through from the 8 ․ 15 Liberation to the 4 ․ 19 Revolution. It seems to be deeply related to the journey to explore the meaning of “Love,” as seen in the title of the novel “Love.” In “Love,” love, which presupposes forgiveness, is requested to live in a “new generation” and a “human world,” just as academics and ideas change with the passage of the times. However, in the “Three-dimensional image of love,” which reflects the desire for “our generation,” there is a sense of speed in quickly forgetting the memories of the past and moving toward the future generation. Instead of fully mourning and remembering the sacrifices and deaths in history, “life” emerges as an important value in the process of moving toward future generations. The love that develops through a romantic relationship is built as the value of “Knowledge” and “Practice” in connection with the problems related to “Life” and “Nation.” Also, Love is requested by the power to design and “build” “The New Generation” on the “Street of 4 ․ 19” in the novel “The Wind in the Street” and “The Sun is New Day by Day.” In Park Hwa Seong’s novels After the Liberation, the emotions of revenge, resentment, and hatred caused by historical disasters are gradually absorbed into the love for the state. Through comparative research with contemporary writers, it will be possible to read the meaning and limitations of the direction driven by narrative of the Love in Park Hwa Seong’s novels after the liberation in the future.
