Abstract

This study is to examine closely the postwar women's self-identity formative method on Mr. Kang Sin-jae's novel <Dandelion of the Imjin River> and <Waves>. With collapse of the traditional order from the Korean war, women had to constitute new self-identity. Mr. Kang Sin-jae's novel performed this work with two different methods. <Dandelion of the Imjin River> compose the humanity with uniting the romantic love and ideology. <Dandelion of the Imjin River>'s heroine E-wha is negative to the traditional family system, but doesn't doubt at all to the romantic love and anti-communism ideology. In conclusion, women's self-identity adheres to patriarchal order named national society.<Waves> seeks femininity throughout the situation and self interpenetration. <Waves>'s heroine Yung-sil perceives her position from the situation or pushing her into the other's situation. Such formative method of a self-identity, is a different method compared to the modern subject which constitutes a self-identical self through a strict isolation for the subject and object, and this becomes one characteristic of the formative method in the postwar femininity.
