자기성찰과 ‘주체’ 정립의 도정

Abstract

Heo Jun(許俊, 1910～?) was known as a novelist, but was a writer who showed talent even in poem and criticism. He entered the literary world while publishing 5 articles of poems such as「Silsol(蟋蟀)」, etc. in addition to「Candle」in October 7, 1934, and afterward, he legitimately entered the road to a novelist while publishes a short story named「Muddy Stream」 with the encouragement of friend, Baek-seok. By the way, as he was strict to himself, he left only 12 articles of poems and 11 articles of novels during his activities period ranged for 13 years, and showed deep suffering on literature and life in works like saying such a fact. The writing noticed the introspective shape appeared his works in a standpoint of securing of self-identity. Self-identify is to regulate oneself about who oneself is and what kind of person is, as an individual distinguished from other people, and it can be understood that the novels of Heo Jun are such an establishment process of self-identity. The novels of Heo Jun under the Colonial Rule show the shape of so-called imaginary identification that identifies the subject oneself to a target that oneself aims to imagine or imitate, while continuously wandering about without adapting oneself to the reality, but the novels of Heo Jun show the shape of more mature imaginary identification by deviating from the bark of subjectivity oneself, while accepting external other people after the Liberation. The imaginary identification is to regard that the image of oneself, which is made by imagination and an idea, is the same as oneself, and means a condition before going out as the social subject. The imaginary identification is to think oneself as 'me' of the objective and objectify, namely, is to mean that "I" is formed through it after passing other people. Compared to this, although the subject and other person appear in the novels of Heo Jun under the Colonial Rule, the works appear like a form of monologue or a soliloquy in a point that other person is a character produced by imagination and an idea of the subject. After the Liberation, other person is suggested as alien presence different from the subject, and the subject shows more mature shape establishing oneself, while accepting the other person. In conclusion, it can be arranged that the subject is changed to the open subject gradually accepting the reality actively by deviating from the previous closed self-consciousness with the Liberation, and it changed the trend of his works realistically.
