정념 대상에 대한 순수 욕망, 치정담 – ‘치정(癡情)’의 의미 재고 –

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of the ‘chi-qing’ which are interpreted only in negative terms in modern times, and to analyze what is the essential meaning of chi-qing by analyzing ＜Simsaengjeon＞ and ＜Oksoson＞. The people who are in the chi-qing are not the perfect figure of the wit and beauty as the contemporary society demands, but they are the sleazy, high-profile ‘stifling’ characters who are not good at the timing. These qualities were devalued as ‘chi(癡)’ because they were not welcomed elements in male-centered society. In fact, ‘Chi (癡)’, which is regarded as ‘idiot’ in the works, appears as an excess state that is deeply absorbed in the individual’s emotions, to the point of forgetting even the social role model beyond the state of being exhausted. Most of the works dealing with lawsuit or murder case based on adultery are called chi-qing story(癡情談). However, if we take a look at the meaning of this article, the gap is too large. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the frame of reference of classical literary works which are classified as chi-qing story(癡情談) which is evaluated as a modern standard. This study shows that the love of the characters in the ＜Masangranjeon＞ and ＜Poeuigyojip＞ has been extended to the age of taste by expanding the indulgence to the ejaculation identified in ＜Simsangjeon＞ and ＜Oksoson＞. It is the essence of chi-qing, even when the love begins in the illusion of the individual, not the universal one, and the illusion turns into disillusionment and wakes up again. After examining the fact that expressing extremely personal and micro individual tastes and expressing unique subjectivity spread to the genre area of literature and spread to Sopum(小品) literature, this study confirms that not only Yi-Ok‘s works but also Sim, No-Sung and Kim-Ryo’s works share them.
