초록

“Home” is a complicated concept. It is not only a place; it is a past, a set of values and parents, an ‘ancien regime’. The global era seems to have attenuated the shadowy weight of nostalgia. Still the issue of home may remind Americans of the national trauma for most of Americans and their forefathers have gone through losing home. Along with the concept of home, Slavoj Žižek’s theory of fantasy illuminates that the American foundation myth on the basis of the May Flower and Christianity is a fantasy, an excessive fixation, to hide the trauma of the loss of home as well as of the guilt about unjust dispossessing Native Americans of the cornucopia. To compare Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter and its film directed by Roland Joffe in 1995, in the light of ‘home’ and ‘fantasy’ shows how Hawthorne and Joffe traverse the mythologized fantasy of America, curing the trauma imbedded in the national heart.
