김중혁 소설에 나타난 놀이공간과 재현의 공간

Abstract

The purpose of this study to analysis the characteristics of spatial significant change along with space and place, perception of space in Kim Jung-hyeok`s novels based on the method of human geography and a theory of Henri Lefebvre. First, reinterpreting some of the things, on the theory of Yi-Fu Tuan, Edward Relph, explains the correlation of `space` and `place`, while the former reveals character of universality, the latter takes a ply of personality and sensibility, in other words of the two suggestions, the latter seems more humane. The modern city is produced by the compositeness of social relation, an hegemony and social element by every period and social element. These phenomenon can be explained by Sociological theory like Lefebvre`s Production of Space. His theory can summarize by representation of space, representational spaces and spatial practice. Therefore, it can be analyzed by the representation support of the space and the activity of the space to be represented. The human geographers, including Henri Lefebvre suggest an alternative on the restoration of places, one`s arguments from the acceptance of difference and otherness. Furthermore, Kim Jung-hyeok`s novels positively accepts understanding of place to apply in perception of space. The heteronomy of spatial structure appears through the representation of spaces produced according to the logic of gospel of efficiency and commercialism, thus reducing the particularity of places and increasing placelessness. On the other hand, Kim Jung-hyeok`s novels also shows the modes of resistance for possibility of new awareness of space filled with otherness and restoration of geographical ability. For the purpose of proposing such practices, this study has been striving to analyze the characters in Kim Jung-hyeok`s novels through the method of `Representational spaces` and `espace approprie` of Lefebvre. And then this study has tried to draw the clue about how to overcome the status of exclusion and efficiency by considering their spatial movements.
