劉震雲 소설에 나타난 의사소통과 일상정치의 가능성

Abstract

This article aims to explore the possibilities of everyday politics through the communication of novels in yiqiangfeihua (2002), Mobile phone (2003), yijudingyiwanju (2009), I’m not madam Bovari (2012) by Liuzhenyun. To that end, we see politics as a process of resolving conflicts and problems in society where many people live, away from the narrow view of the situation as a system, an administration and a power struggle. It is also understood as a process of exchanging different ideas and developing solutions for problem solving. In short, when a human’s daily life gathers to form a life and politics is itself, everyday life is replaced by politics. The language that constitutes everyday life is the most important element of politics. Communication is the process of expressing me and understanding others through interactions that take place under the basis of pluralism. However, with the intervention of contingency and subjectivity, unexpected results arise. Liuzhenyun’s characters in the novel have trouble communicating because of the absent of a concept word and a fixed meaning, a lack of imagination to think in other people’s shoes, and unequal, one-sided speaking and listening relationships. Nevertheless, they continue to speak, constantly seeking objects that speak, and further reveal their voices of injustice. This is a massive political act of finding one’s own voice and building one’s place in the community and a ‘struggle’ to be recognized by society. The struggle for recognition of Liuzhenyun’s novel shows the possibility of everyday politics and eventually finds its place in society and establishes the basis of political human realization to receive hospitality.
