Abstract

This research aimed at tracing the aspect of Modernology as the investigation and strategy on modernity which shows different characteristic respectively through the analysis on the title novel of ‘Mr. Gubo’, which reaches Ju, In-seok, beginning with Park, Tae-won. They pursue modernity in common, however the point that was selected as the ‘image’ of modernity appeared differently along with each period situation, accordingly, Modernology, the methodology to investigate modernity, also appeared various respectively. Park, Tae-won showed a will to surpass Yun baeknam and Choi dokgyeon as a case of James Joyce as the war criminal of western modernity and distorted colonial modernity, in order to investigate the overlapped characteristic of colonial modernity in his novel Novelist Gubo’s daily life. As the result, Park, Tae-won’s Gubo discovers Choi seohae’s text by a medium of ‘nervous breakdown’, through this, searches a possibility to embody the original characteristic of colonial modernity. Choi, In-hoon searches freakish modernity of Korean society in 1960s—70s, calling himself as a novel laborer of the period of south and north in his serial work Novelist Gubo’s daily life. Choi, In-hoon’s Gubo searches an opportunity to advance into the self consciousness of an exile from a refugee, searching for a status to observe the freakish modernity through perspective. Ju, In-seok shows an esthetic investigation to renew the ‘post’ era and the liberating planning of modernity in his serial work Novelist Gubo’s daily life. Ju, In-seok’s Mr. Gubo shows a critical awareness on stiffened Marx Leninism literature as well as overflowing post discussion, paying attention to a form to deliver the significance only through ‘tone’ as a medium to overcome this, instead of a clear language.
