본 연구는 양쟝(杨绛)의 산문 우리 셋(我们仨)에 나타난 가족 상실 서사가 트라 우마 기억을 어떻게 문학적으로 재현하고 치유 담론으로 전환되는지를 분석한다. 리 쾨르의 ‘내러티브 정체성’과 트라우마 서사의 ‘시차적 반복, 간접 서술’을 복합 적용 하여 꿈, 은유, 침묵 등 미학적 장치를 집중적으로 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 개인적 상실 은 회고를 통해 공적 윤리로 승화되며 기억의 사회화를 이끄는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 고는 중국 현대문학에 있어서의 트라우마 연구에 해석학적 분석틀을 제공함으로써 상실 서사의 윤리적, 문화적 가치를 재조명하였다. 또한 단일 텍스트 집중 분석의 제 한을 인정하면서도 동일 이론 틀을 여성 작가간 비교 연구로 확장할 가능성을 제시 하였다. 향후 독자 수용 연구와 디지털 매체를 통한 기억 정치학 탐구도 제안한다.
2017, Red Candle Games released a game called ‘Detention’ in the global gaming platform, ranking number three in sales in just one month. In the game lies a fictional story about members of a school book club who were framed in the 60's under the Martial Law. It based on the historical event called the White Terror throughout the 50’s to the 80’s. White Terror had been a taboo in Taiwan for years, making the investigation of the event, damage, and accountability for a prolonged period of time. Since the termination of the Martial Law in 1987, the restoration of the forbidden history was commenced. Especially since 2016, Transitional Justice has become the core government policy, allowing the creation and execution of many policies in multiple aspects, such as fact-finding, restoration of records, rewriting history, compensation, and redemption of honor. Moreover, since the termination of the Martial Law, literature and personal biography based on the White Terror were created in the private sector. Nevertheless, it did not attract the attention of the general public. However, the release of ‘Detention’ has brought signs of change. ‘Detention’ grabbed the attention of teenagers who were distant with the history that happened 70 years ago. From the beginning of the release of the game, it has stirred up the internet and social media. In 2019, the game was made into a movie ‘Detention’. In addition, in December of 2020, ‘Detention’ made into a eight-series show. This is expected to create a collective memory of the White Terror in Taiwan. This study aims to find out how the White Terror in Taiwan is shown in various forms of narratives, using related concepts such as Assmann’s ‘Collective Memory’ and ‘Traumatic History’. Also, this study analyzes the new form of White Terror narrative of ‘Detention’ series.
This article looks into the reality of division trauma through various examples of recounts of war experience of Koreans, and seeks ways to heal that division trauma by focusing on oral narrative methods and contents of the tales. The sources of some irrationalities and conflicts in present day Korean society are division between South and North Korea, and the Korean War. As a result of such tragedy, politico-social conflicts still continue, leaving many scars on the lives of individuals. These scars are referred to as division trauma. Division trauma has a strong collective characteristic because it comes from the division and war experienced by the nation as a whole. Many of the recounts of Korean War experience contain such division trauma and constitute the mainstream of modern oral literature. However, these recounts, depending on how the narrator conveys the story and perceives the relevant event, take on different forms even with regard to same event. There is a coexistence between storytelling based on the narrative of division where the narrator points fingers and criticizes others as perpetrators, and storytelling seeking to become a narrative of integration by objectifying all aspects of an event and narrating it based on feelings of empathy. Oral storytelling aiming to become an integrative narrative, revealing how tragic wars are and how they negate all humanness, can contribute to healing division trauma. If stories with such narrative method can be found, be diffused throughout society and form a discursive space for an integrative narrative, oral narrative healing will become possible.
