두 갈래의 세계 체험과 ‘흔적’으로서의 ‘나’ - 이상의 「지도(地圖)의 암실(暗室)」을 중심으로

Abstract

In this paper, the narrative and its basic axis of Lee Sang’s first short novel, , and how these were connected to detailed expressions of this work were examined. Even basic reading of is hard but it is certain that this work deals with one figure(Lee Sang)’s one day off. This whole day for 24 hours consists of trivial events just like most modern men's daily life. Lee Sang's one day described a bit pointlessly in is mainly made up of images and thoughts aroused by media, and those aroused by stroll(散步). What particularly catches eyes in the work is the sentences inserted without context, such as written colloquial Chinese, French, English and other foreign languages. Before and after these 7 sentences in total in foreign languages, diverse thoughts are developed, Among them, five written colloquial Chinese sentences deal with the circumstances of those times and Lee Sang's understanding of and reactions to them, and other 2 sentences in western languages, that is, French and English, have cultural contents. In other words, Lee Sang is learning about the time and experiencing the world through the media of books, magazines or movies in his daily life. In addition to reading and thinking, Lee Sang's most important activity is walking in the city. Only sense of sight is emphasized to modern men, and they have been deprived of experiences. In this respect, the two ways how Lee Sang experiences the world are severely modern and they are a modern man's experience of the world. Full experience is impossible in the first place, and experiences exist just as fragmented parts, so the representation of the world which cannot but be created through ‘myself’, that is, language, cannot be flawless. Smoothly elaborated language actually deletes beings or events, so the crunching and uncomfortable language in delivers the essence of the world most faithfully in some sense. In , he(Lee Sang, E. teacher Lee Sang with responsibility and duty, K) is expressed in diverse forms. Lee Sang's division, who is splitted into two or three, exposes contradiction of a modern subject itself that actually cannot be a single one. In this division that rejects a clear main agent, hatred and refusal against the life lasting with no meaning are also inherent. Lee Sang is myself of 'trace' that is erased while being written. To this Lee Sang, his way to escape is art. 'Darkroom of the map’ is dark himself(box 箱) on the map of the meaningless world, and a darkroom where it is possible to read a map because it's dark, and therefore where a map can be estimated and felt.
