국민국가의 경계를 가로지르는 분단의 상상력 -2000년대 한국소설을 중심으로-

Abstract

The article examines a new developing tendency on a imagination of division with the case of North Korean defectors' novels published in 2000s. At that time, the North Korean escapees who had been staged on the novels were depicted that they had no self-contentment on the imagination of division associating with the order system in modern nation-state. Moreover, the imagination of division with them could be interpreted as ground to explain a new developing tendency separated from the boundary of modern nation-state. The North Korean defectors were commonly taken advantage of South Korean propaganda to have hegemony for the anti-Communism as the national policy. In recent, they have been represented as refugees who are sacrificed for the Western-style Capitalism. The article tries to interpret the North Korean defectors, not as the sufferers in a circuit of the modern system of disparate North Korea and South Korea, but as the subjects across the boundary to imagine and practice their new life. Last but not least, the writer attempts to analyze the LeeNa written by Kang Young Sook and Cho Hye Jin's Encountering Roo Kiwan among North Korean defectors' novels in 2000s, which describes the possibility of their subject, parted and separated from the order of modern nation-state.
