월경(越境)과 반경(半徑) - 임옥인의 <월남전후>에 대하여

Abstract

This study aims to reexplicate the meaning of <Before and after coming from North Korea> through understanding the narrative break which was brought from a divided identity as a settler coming from North Korea woman intelligent. <Before and after coming from North Korea> shows a intelligent woman, Yeong-in Kim's experiences from 1945.8.15 to March 1946 at Gilju and Hyesanjin of North Korea. This narrative divides between desire for a radius as a familiar place and fear(or hope) for a transgression to unknown space. In this works, the everyday life at the liberated age is composed of an continuous intention to 'mine', 'my radius' and of a fear for outward occupation, hold that breaks into 'mine', 'my radius'. And also the liberated age becomes a time and space in which a divided subject is composed through a transgression that breaks the border from my radius and the other's. In this works, the experience of a intelligent woman's coming from North Korea is related the experience of a divided subject's transgression that moves from a border of family-relative to a border of educated-uncivilized class. Because of her sense of guilty for her family and her sufferings for survival at the age, an intelligent woman's experience of coming from North Korea brings on a narrative breaks like that describes dying women in madness and hysteria.
