경계성(borderlines)의 관점에서 바라본 <十二月 十二日>의 의미

Abstract

This study aims to reinterprete the meaning of <December 12> from borderlineal point of view. We start the point that Yi Sang, the writer created the work as a border-rider, because he is both a colonial government official and a ruled race. The hero, an incognito had set out on a wandering to Japan, the nation of the rurer and had learned to the civil manner and had civilized. The logic behind the colonialism is both oppressive and modern. So he has birth to a monster-gentleman, a lame person-doctor. His ambivalence makes a kind of self-fission, so his alter ago brings birth to. The hero returns home with the rich of the ruler's, but the rich is unfair. In that point, he makes himself an civil charitable person through helping his brother T. But T rejects the help, so a mask, an civil charitable person is broken. After all, the hero lost everything and died with an train accident. But his another self, C and her baby contain their life. In other words, his death might be altered and his life is rewrited. In this way, Yi Sang tried to search the ability of a border-rider. He continued to descrive himself an border-rider lied between 19 century and 20 century. It is a term hereafter that we search what is the meaning of the borderlineal in his later works.
