해방 전후 김남천 문학의 수행성과 연속성 －<사랑의 수족관>, <1945년 8ㆍ15>, <동방의 애인>을 중심으로－

Abstract

Kim Namcheon’s literary step is greatly significant in that, without avoidance or evasion of the time lack of prospect, continued to do fierce research in both of theory and creation. Such a process was not to aim at theoretical completeness or literary completeness, but to depend on incompleteness and liquidity, have its objective value inspected and revised. This was considered to be performative character in this paper. The performative character of Kim Namcheon’s literary character appeared even in actual writing along with progressive processes of creation methodology ranging from disclosure literature to observation literature in the end of Japanese imperialism. This paper tried to propose the point that the performative character of Kim Namcheon’s literature is represented as persons as ‘agency’ by analyzing the character types of Aquarium of Love, 8ㆍ15 in 1945, Lover of the Orient that were created in a type of series during the period from the end of Japanese imperialism to Korea’s liberation. It can be said that, paying attention to the effects of the same persons group having character of not ‘subject’ but ‘agency’, Kim Namcheon tried to have his ideological directivity or literary theories inspected or verified. In addition, viewing in detail the meaning structure of the surface layer &deep structure of these literary works, it could be know that the problem which Kim Namcheon tried to continue to research even under a urgent situation before and the liberation was contradiction of capitalism. It can be deemed that he sought the possibility of escaping from capital by continuously having a person type deeply involved in capitalism rather than a person type not altogether related to the power of capitalism.
