A psychoanalytical approach to Shin Gyung Sook"s 〈The Place Where the Organ Used to Be〉

&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper is a trial on new reading of the text of 〈The Place Where the Organ Used to Be〉, which is written by Shin Gyung-Sook, one of the great novelists in 1990&quot;s, from the aspects of psychoanalysis. Especially through ‘Lacan&quot;s Theory of the Human Subject’, the structure of text shows structural repetition with the change which corresponds to the flow of time and the movement of space.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The repeated structure of this text is largely showed up by the circumstantial similarity of two scenes, One is the immoral relationship between ‘the father of narrator’ and ‘his girl’ in the space of ‘a viliage’ at narrator&quot;s infancy and the other is the one between ‘narrator’ and ‘a man’ who has a familyin the speace of ‘a city’ at narrrator&quot;s adult age. This text reveals eventually the repeated structure through hypallage of characters with the change of time and space. The hypallage of characters contributes to show the superiority of signifiers of ‘the Organ’ as well. This means this novel is finally about ‘the Organ’ itself from a post-structuralism point of view.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The repeated structure of this text is also related to the processes of subject formation, narrator&quot;s identification on ‘his girl’, the denial of the father&quot;s law and the formation of narrator&quot;s unconsciousness, the immoral love with ‘a man’ through wandering of city, returning to a village and the process of the perfect independence as the subject. This attempt will show a new sense of sight in making an analysis of this text and provide significant elucidation on Woman Growth Novels in 1990&quot;s.
