요산 김정한 소설의 원전비평적 연구

Abstract

Ever-rising interest in Yo San's works is not duly supported by a definitive text. There are differences between the original and copies. Particularly in terms of accuracy, there are some evident faults in the new collections and those may lead to critical errors in interpretation of his work. In correcting such faults and errors, textual criticism can be a valuable solution. By using graphological approach, this paper aims to identify the errors in the printed copies of the original texts first published in magazines. The results can be summarized as follows. First, the copies of the original texts distort the context of the original texts and provide a misunderstanding about the fictional situation. Second, the copies bring undue pressure on narrator or character's psychological reactions by the erasure of words arbitrarily. Third, the correctors of the copies corrupt the meaning of the original from their imprecise knowledge and speech habits. Fourth, the collections show an overwhelming force of the standard language over a regional dialect. In case of faulty intended by author, the erasure of a dialect may leads to the repress of ideological conflict. Fifth, the collections show a simple misprints resulted from simple errors of the eye, but the defaults in the printed copies may have a decisive impact on the interpretation of the fictional situation.
