(性)을 통한 합일(合一)의 형상화- 1920-30년대 한국소설을 중심으로 [Consciousness of Unity through Sex – Focused on Korean Novels in the 1920's through the 1930's] [application of Fromm's theories to art]

  • This study was to find out how the unity of will could be realized through sex in the Korean novels which were written in the special period of the 1920's through 1930's which were under Japanese colonial rule and modernization. Erich Fromm's philosophical speculation was a good criterion to clarify this kind of process. The right way to forward the truth of unity was the very matured love that Erich Fromm talked about. Matured love is to feel the unity in the circumstances the parties respect another's individuality. However, at that time, many people were exposed to poverty due to Japanese colonial policies. Under these circumstances, prostitution, one way of solution out of poverty, was mixed with the desire lay behind unconsciousness and this resulted in destruction in the end. Characters of Boknea in Gamja (Potato) and Chunho's wife in the novel of Sonagi (A sudden shower) were created at that time. Modern women and men could not be free from sex ideology deeply rooted in traditional Confucianism and predominance of men. Therefore, in the process of moving forward to the true unity, some people fell in love with in the novels. Some examples are that Yeonsil who fell in love in the novel of >Kim Yeonsil Jeon< and Young Chae who decided to commit suicide because of purity complex in the novel of >Mujeong<. Even, there appeared a character like Soonok in the novel who sanctify sex. However, they found their identity in the end and their actions were proved as transitional phenomenon taking place between the gap of unity and want by showing their will of true unity. Also, there is a character in the novel who agrees the process of unity based on respect for the other sex. Youngshin and Donghyuk in the novel of >Sangroksu< are those examples. It can be said that the love realized by them shows the truth of unity.
