비페이위(畢飛宇)의 《평원(平原)》에 나타난 혁명의 일상화에 따른 상실과 병리적 징후들

Abstract

As a story about the daily life in which the Cultural Revolution was involved, BiFeiyu's The Plains shows the reality of the revolution that has continued and accumulated for 10 years by supporting the end of the revolution with 1976 as its focus. And look at and talk with the eyes of “literature” how the daily life, which has been integrated into everyday life and has been reorganized by the condensed revolution, reconstructing people's consciousness, and trying to complete a socialist ideal society. This article first examines the meaning of the reproduction of novels in the context of revolutionary daily life, following the restoration work of daily life developed by The Plain with the origin of 1976. On the other hand, the area of daily life, which does not need to be noted because it remains unchanged and is boring to repeat, is effective in observing the customs and psychological aspects of an individual or group due to its attributes. The fading slogans and meanings of the revolution have become a mechanism for discovering individual emotions and desires, but they do not reach “expression and divergence.” On the other hand, revolution is the object of patience and overcoming for some, but faith and love for others. For them, the revolution toward an end is an experience of losing the object(of love). The loss of the object results in mourning, but the characters in the work cannot distinguish between the lost object and the self. As the experience of loss is not overcome in reality and converted to internal conflict of self, the characters leading to self-criticism, self-delusion, and self-destruction are comparing the results of the revolution. They can be read as an indication of the situation that occurs when the revolution is over the maximum that can be understood and accepted.
