자본의 제국, 기업사회 속 소설의 윤리

Abstract

This manuscript is to define the society of Korea, which is besieged by the raging wind of neo-liberalism, as enterprise society and seek for consciousness of ethics in it that the prologue of novel has to keep. The summary of the result is as follows. Fist off all, it means that the author of this age should be a refuge of the system who introspects with critical eyes the almighty market principle and logic of capital from the point of fundamental point, make mimesis of the agony of existence and think about the external part of the capital. It means that the literature should become more of the avant-garde. To speak more specifically, the literature of Korea should seek for the harmonious relation between individual and community. Of cause, to find out and keep the existential interior of individual, which is buried in the forgetfulness of existence is the important subject of serious literature as well, since one of the weakest is just independent and matured internality of autonomous individual until now. At this time, how the lack of social justice, i.e. distortion of distribution and lack of welfare is devastating interior of the individual and what kind of overload is imposed on the private community called family should be introspected in order to make the internality of the literature of 1990s to be succeeded and improved developmentally.

After all, the literature of liberalism supposing autonomous individuals to be the leading part of history should advance to the positive liberalism that participates independently in operation and decision-making of community where itself belongs beyond the passive liberalism that protects the independence and right of individuals from the unwanted interference from external power. In addition, the literature of this age should consider more and more how to build up the community respecting the diversity and difference by washing out evils lying in the interior while keeping human life of the community members by confronting the empire of capital, which is expanding its territory indiscriminately.
