1970년대 소설에 재현된 법적 정의와 유토피아적 주체

Abstract

This thesis examines a series of works by Sehee Cho, Heunggil Yoon, and Seokyoung Hwang in the 1970s, examining the desires of the utopian subject and the process of thinking in the dystopian real world, which are undermined consciousness of their legal justice. The narrative of a class subject who desires to realize a utopia through law makes the legal definition presented at the universal and abstract level unfamiliar and allows readers to reinterpret it as their own subjectivity and values. Cho Se-hee's “Small Balls Launched by a Dwarf”, Yun Heung-gil’s “A Man Who Remains with Nine Pairs of Shoes”, and Hwang Seok-young's “Destination” confirm the identity of the working class and resist legal authority armed with anti-communist ideology. It is not a direct resistance to certain legal powers that are microscopic and specific, but in various aspects, such as showing distrust in the entire legal system while destroying overall trust in the law itself, or anticipating the existence of a new law while denying the boundary between law and illegality itself. Takes. Despite these differences, in 1970s novels, law is generally perceived as a tool that can implement a certain ideal world or utopian vision, but in reality it reveals the legal ignorance of the subject. In the process, the subject in the novel does not remain in class conformity, but demands an expanded awareness of legal justice and leads to imagining a utopia for the realization of such legal justice. In that sense, it can be said that the moralistic obsession based on the so-called legal justice that governs the overall work of Sehee Cho, Heunggil Yoon, and Seokyoung Hwang stems from the subject's thinking toward a utopia to protect his problem consciousness in a closed frame.
