Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider non-place and isolated consciousness through Choi In-ho's 「Other's room」(1971) that literally preempted a new residential type of apartment, and Chae Young-ju's 「Urban fragrance」(1993) that 22 years later from then, when the type of apartment house became a universal residential culture of urban space. It will be a work to uncover the tragedy of the 'apartment republic' that run into an isolated society in Korea and the literary challenge for the recovery of the placeness. The confinement of the existence of those who have lost their place results in a space nightmare and objectify in the 「Other's room」 and a downfall and defeat of the lax artificial paradise decorated dandy in the 「Urban fragrance」. All of this is due to the nature of retribution because it targets the other (especially women), leading to a reflection on the exceptional condition concealed in the objectification caused by plasslessness. This is manifested by individualized seclusion and distorted communication. First, the apartment space in 「Other's room」 which is completed only through the interruption, shaped the objectified apartment space, which is completed on the premise of constant interception of contact and anonymity. In 「Urban fragrance」 based on the wall noise of the sound of a ringing telephone, the destruction of the cold-blooded attitude of a person who typifies all things other than oneself in order to construct his artistic paradise was revealed clearly. The space nightmare in 「Other's room」 that the non-place- based alienation of the objects rises and the tragedy of the loss of the place through the irony which is placed in the equivalence relationship with the object itself. Narcissistic madness in 「Urban fragrance」 which is manifested in the dandy artistic indulgence of life and isolation, through the narrator, who is the owner of the artistic taste that serves only for his aesthetic achievement, and the opponent with the sense of concrete life, Reveals the deceit and laxity of the selfish world. The catastrophic situation created by the space of plcaelessness, which is symbolized by these apartments and officetels, is all based on the hierarchies of ‘inclusive exclusion’ in which the aversion and abasement for women. In 「Other's room」 was a seed of tragedy in which he tried to justify his loneliness by constantly othering his wife based on a patriarchal gender-role. Deceitfulness of dandy in 「Urban fragrance」, which does not recognize a woman beside her as a mere sexual object but instead pushes herself into an autistic situation rather than a relationship, transforming her lonely self into a cultural aristocracy, has already built a catastrophe.
