해방후 고통의 재현과 병리성 -반공체제 속 ‘부랑자’와 ‘비국민’-

Abstract

This study is intended to take a look at the trend of displacement and transfiguration of existential ‘pain’ of individual for the pathological symptoms under the anti-communism system after the War. At the time of around 1960, unpatriotic people were called upon and produced following the ruling system to distinguish and contrast Citizens and Non-Citizens, and in particular, it was the subject of cracking down for ‘the wandering person’ to be the representation of non-citizens to be purified. They were pin pointed as the subject of cracking down and separation due to their high likely tendency of ‘criminality’, and looking into the aspects of vagabonds after the War, it is generally originated from the drastic changes in economy, history and politics in North Koreans migrating to South, people in different villages, people from different origin, and so forth. These are not much different from political or economic refugees in more scrutinized sense. However, they were perceived as a ‘hostile’ element to threaten the national boundary, and accordingly, they were separated and isolated in hospitals, prisons, protective facilities or the like. Furthermore, as classified for unpatriotic people, they had to encounter the existential crisis to prove their presence as the ‘patriotic people’. Under this article, it considered that the suffering has adhered and attached to the human body as the physical signal to display as the ‘being that has their pathological symptoms alive yet to be irrelevant if died’(homo sacer). For those who have no right to speak on suffering, the ‘pathologic symptom’ is the trace and reification of suffering. In addition, in the process of calling as the ‘Non-Citizens’ through the novels of times, it displays the point that it operates the self-monitoring and censorship (「A Stray Bullet」) and it includes the neighborhood relationship with the nationalistic system (「The Chronicles of Han」).
