장용학 소설의 서사 원형 연구― 종말의식과 묵시록적 인식구조를 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the production principle of the text which constitutes the original form of the narration in Chang Yong-hak's novel, by studying through the mutual textual relation how the social reality with the value crisis that is exposed by the Korean War is expressed at the stage of the linguistic form and narrative structure. In addition, this thesis tries to interpret both the writer's cognitive structure and the meaning of the times in the allegorical narrative pattern which is developed on the grounds of the escatological and apocalyptic thinking way, and evaluate newly the Chang's novel by sheding new lights on the function of text to which aesthetic, mental and social stages work multiply. In 「Yohan's collection of poems」「Non-human's birth」「Prologue of the dynastic change」, though there are some differences with the hero's experiential consciousness and story, the production principle of the text that leads the meaning structure of the deep narration has definitely the original form. Therefore these works present structurally similarity one another and they form the reciprocal implicative relation in the structure of the wider category. It can be grasped that the common structure throughout Chang's novel has something to do with the 'escatological consciousness' and 'apocalyptic consciousness structure' which are made out of the actual experience of the absurd crisis. This cognitive structure not only gives the unity to the works connecting with the paradigm of the mental process but also forms the foundation of the allegoric formal principle and narrative structure that are the aesthetic characteristics of the overall works.
