Pathological Imagination in the Novel on the Growth of the Woman - Centered on Oh Jung-hee’s Novels

&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh Jung-hee&quot;s novel,『Woman from the Stationary Shop』,『The Yard of the Childhood』,『Street of the Chinese』and『Bird』mainly introduced girls who manifest pathological symptoms, and deny vertical enlightenment discourse while mentioning the disillusionment of the father&quot;s world. Given this, Oh Jung-hee&quot;s novels on the growth of the girls embrace the mainstream society, while the discourse of the symbolic power that is internalized is structured in an ironical manner. The key elements of the medium that represent these effectively are perceived as &quot;pathological space&quot; that the girls experience. The girls witnessed the illness of the women who were purged from the world of fathers, recognizing the violence of this world. Unlike the desire of the fathers that are manifested as is through the other, the girls in fact internalize the space of the others, while experiencing depression that they too experience. They are contaminated, and the closededness and pathological symptoms are manifested.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper recognizes the space whereby the girls grow and where these pathological symptoms are found, and examines the experiences in this space, namely robbery, homosexuality, and impulse towards death. The pathological space that are manifested in the girls, start out from their recognition of experience in the violent world of their fathers. Thus, this space is not to be closed down or purged, but assumes the significance as the starting point of embracement and ecological principle of consideration. At this time, the pathological symptoms pertaining to the growth entity is the space of the affected part that needs to be eliminated, and also the question on the normalcy of viable father, and assumes the meaning as the point that can serve as an alternative space that goes beyond while still in the world of fathers.
