Abstract

The main school aims to analyze the acceptance and overcoming aspects of Kim Hyun and Freudian theory. By analyzing the acceptance and overcoming aspects of Freudian theory in Kim Hyun’s critique in three major periods, focusing on the issue of “sublimation” of desire, we wanted to understand the changes in Kim Hyun’s critique in the mid to late 1980s. First, it was a time when Freud’s overcoming of pessimism and determinism was emphasized based on Bachelard and Jung’s theories. Compared to Freudian symbols, which are merely symbols of unconscious impulses, Baschelard’s archetypes and imaginative theories are considered ways to sublimate negative desires. Using reverie working in the middle of unconscious and consciousness, sublimation of the pathological complex is possible. Given that such sublimation rejects the reality of alienation and objectification and makes him dream of a utopia where oppression and alienation have disappeared, Kim Hyun finds a basis to overcome Freud through Bachelard. Second, through desire analysis, we explored the origins of violence and the methods of literary resistance to violence. Girard’s theory emerges as a methodology that sheds light on the problem of violence that Freud cannot explain. Based on his sense of Girard’s problem, Kim Hyun recognizes the 1980s as a violent society maintained by turning hatred into one and making one a scapegoat. However, while the framework of perception is “jirarish,” the principle of violence and hatred is described as “freudite.” This shows that even after 1980, Kim Hyun’s reason was based on the biological Freudian structure of the confrontation of the “self-preservation drive/Eros,” and the perception of this composition led to a one-sided grasp of the problem. Third, it is a time when people focus on overcoming and sublimating self-destruction desires caused by historical pain. Criticism of Kim Hyun in the late 1980s unfolds in the form of a fight against self-destruction desire stemming from guilt and shame. Kim Hyun leaned not on consciousness but on “body” and “memory” engraved with pain. Interest in the “body” and “repeated compulsion” of pain parallels Freud’s sense of problem, which deduced the concept of death impulse from the “repeated compulsion” dreams of war neuropathy patients. Through the perception that repeated obsessive memories are the epicenter of the new culture, Kim Hyun meets Freud's problem consciousness in an unexpected way.
