김정은 시대 북한 과학환상문학에 나타난 체제 문제와 두 개의 팔루스-과학환상그림책 『싸우는 지혜동산』을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the imagination of resistance in North Korean science fiction in the Kim Jong-un era. North Korean literature is a powerful device to reproduce the will of the system. So it is difficult to expect change. However, science fiction in North Korea gave hope for change. This is because writers have a certain distance from realistic demands. The subject of study, “The Fighting Wisdom Garden,” has two disparate narratives. This is because there is a conflict between a narrative faithful to the routine and a narrative resistant to the routine. This work is a story that several communities collapse a powerful power. In particular, the hostile group of wolves reminds us of the North Korean regime(Phallus) like a mirror effect. Other animal communities, on the other hand, reject the system operated by the one. Instead, they imagine the community of themselves becoming Phallus. Therefore, the final war with the wolf herd is the war between the father’s law and the child who rejects it. The scene of ruining the wolves is not a punishment for imperialism, but rather an imagination of resistance toward the current North Korean regime. After all, this work uses the illusion of science fiction to dream of imagination of resistance.
