근대적 욕망의 추구와 서사화 방식-1910년대 소설의 고학생 모티프와 '자본'의 논리-

Searching for the modern desire and a narrative mode -The motif of a student under adversity and the logic of capital in 1910s.

Although it is not a complete form. the novels in 1910s have the logic of modernity. In 1910s, bourgeois intelligentsias make a form of a literary group with a modern meaning, and thus their experience of modernity through studying abroad stands out as an important source of novels. The economic adversity that they experienced through getting the modern knowledge is accepted in novels as a motif of 'a student under adversity' and shaped as a figure overcoming great poverty and difficulty. It is also to accomplish the modern desire of liberty and equality. Of course the liberty and the equality are the products of bourgeois idea, and the intelligentsia at that time thought it as means of survival in the struggle for existence. Therefore the desire for capital in the novels is extended to the nationality and has the characteristic of enlightenment. To spread the modern discourse like this, the authoritative narrative is chosen in the novels. And the narration is advanced with the method of summary and advocated the absoluteness of modern novels without severe conflicts. Thus the novels of a student under adversity motif in 1910s don't give rise to popular interest, but have the purpose for spreading of the modern discourse of liberty and equality. As a result, in the novels of the time. the inborn priority of previous novels is excluded, and the poor and common students are appeared in the front line. And their adversity is intensified and announced at last and then chosen the narrative strategy for extending the meaning of modern desire. However the logic like this is too idealistic and may have the risk of falling into a poor logic in the real world.
