동아시아 문학에서 타자의 재현과 타자성의 구현

초록

In Korean, Chinese, and Japanese literature, I analyzed three works, Kyung-ri Park’s Land, Moyan’s Red Sorghum, Oe Kenzaburo’s The Silent Cry, on the representation of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese as others, as well as promoting alterity. In Park’s Land, the identity is life, and the other is anti-life. She praises Korean culture that pursues vitality. However, she criticizes Japanese culture that pursues the violence of anti-life. The writer unfolds a sublime and epic narrative of those who are trying to save their lives, whether Koreans or Japanese, against human violence, a culture of killing, and powers and groups that pursue war and slaughter, which are the roots of anti-life. On the other hand, the writer otherizes the Koreans and Japanese who interfere with those. In Moyan’s Red Sorghum, identity is the combination of primitive vitality and continental heroism. However, the others are the Japanese who obliterate this vitality and heroism. The writer glorifies the ignorant and violent acts of the protagonists with continental heroism and primitive vitality. And he metaphors them as red sorghum. On the other hand, the writer describes modern city dwellers as petit-bourgeois who have lost them. And he metaphors them as hybrid sorghum, and defines them as degeneration of species. In Oe’s The Silent Cry, the identity is Japan, valley, traditional culture, nobility, and community. The other is Korea, city, consumption culture, frivolity, individualistic society. Takashi, the protagonist, regards the supermarket-emperor and Koreans as good targets to pillage and rape through this otherization. He commits suicide, not feeling guilty for the death of Koreans, but taking responsibility for his actions to complete his existence. What is regrettable for all three writers is that there are no differences of Daedae(待對) and alterity that dissolves identity. Therefore, four major things are needed in East Asian literature in the future. First, it represents reality objectively and fairly. Second, it acquires the differences of Daedae(待對) and alterity that dissolves identity. Third, from the standpoint of subaltern and homo sacer, they acquire alterity and read and write against the power-elite. Fourth, homo sacer becomes the subject of Buddha-in-other’s-pupil and speaks out and resists.
