루쉰의 애도문 연구

Abstract

This paper investigates on how Lu Xun treats mourning issue, reading writing on mourning among Lu Xun’s Zawen. Lu Xun recalls the dead of the youth, comrade and friend, writing their lives and deaths. Why and when does Lu Xun remember the deads? What message dose he recall and deliver? How does he mourn their death? What kind of signification and perspective does Lu Xun convey through writings on mourning. Recently mourning issue becomes one of the most important subject which is discussed prominently in academic circles. From Freud to Derrida and Butler, including Zizek and Agamben scholars in academic sphere diversely and keenly deploy discussion on mourning. Freud ‘discovers’ the mourning as a important issue regarding construction of self, whereas Derrida ‘relocates’ the mourning issue as lives and moral level, connecting to the other. Meanwhile Butler revisits it as the common(community) issue, extending it to the social and political problem. This kind of theoretical reinterpretation reveals the mourning issue is not only individual and psychological level but also the problematic with relation to moral and political level. Based on these theoretical development, this paper analyses representative writing on the morning among Zawen written by Lu Xun, that is “commemorating Liu Hezhen”, “Fan Ainong”, “Commemoration for the forgetting”, “Recall to Wei Suyuan’s memories”, and “Momories of Liu Bannong”. This paper clarifies Lu Xun informs the power of mourning writing written by melancholic and sorrowful subject. As for Lu Xun writing on the mourning is not indulged in passive sorrow but the practice which is opposed to the national and public commemoration(紀念) and discovers the way of alternative commemoration(記念). Lu Xun understates himself and makes the other, that is the deads, alive in overall text through new kind of commemorating writing. In this regards, mourning writing written by Lu Xun is not only writing for the other but also writing by the other, since the other speaks and acts in overall text. Mourning writing by Lu Xun shows the route of criticizing and subverting the existent order and logic with a method of memory and recording. It is new scene that sorrow and melancholy with a rage moves forward writing on mourning and makes the dead other alive in text.
