Abstract

This study is to show that experience of violence is left as trauma to Kim, Choon-soo, and how it is cured by writing. His trauma and healing process are appeared in his novel, “Flower and Fox” and serial poetry “Cheoyongdanjang”. Choosing the memory as the subject of the writing is the first step of healing process, which is to face the traumatic memory. The next step of the healing process is releasing the emotions and changing the feeling. This is to analyze the negative memory, to re-position the events, and to overcome the trauma. However, the memory of being a victim is solved indirectly by external actions. Being shocked and feared, his life in prison is left as an un-analyzable memory. There are two ways of overcoming the trauma. First, victim may change the original event in one’s imagination. Otherwise, one may escape from the suppression by removing the historicity from historical subject. The study clarifies that “Cheoyongdanjang” is the expression of Kim, Choon-soo’s trauma and explains the result by the healing process by comparison analysis of novel and poems.
