욕망의 주체와 실천의 주체, 그 이중적 관계 - 유재용의 70년대 소설을 중심으로

A subject of desires and another of realization, the dual relation

&nbsp;&nbsp;「The Life of Others」, published in 1973, describes the life of a young boy who lives a life of other person and even reproduces the man&quot;s death when he dies. Unreasonableness of a subject of desires and another of realization as in 「The Relation」 is the theme of this work. 「The Servant」, published in 1977, as well represents desires of contemporary men through the conflict between a subject of desires and realization by the relation between the weird master and servant. These works well indicate what Jaeyong Yu&quot;s works in 1970&quot;s, at the beginning of his literature activity, were focused on, and that such interests maintained throughout the 70&quot;s, not extraordinarily. By analyzing the link among the three works, we may find out and restore the characteristics of Jaeyong Yu&quot;s works in the 70&quot;s. Besides, works of Jaeyong Yu during his early years reflect his ontological confirmation and acceptance of his own destiny as a novelist.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The three novels of Jaeyong Yu in the 70&quot;s feature the satisfaction of desires through borrowing Other&quot;s body in the process that a man who has character and sexual disorder tries to fill his crooked desire, and that a paralyzed man who desires the normal life of a common person tries to satisfy the unethical desires. The relation between a master and the servant with money as the medium well shows how thoroughly human relationship can be vertically formed through money and the authority brought with money. In 1970&quot;s, as the rapid industrialization and the American culture of capitalism were established in the Korean society, the insight of the writer on the relation between the master and the servant made with money indicates that the attribute of capitalism is reflected in the extreme inhuman relation of ownership.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The criticism of Jaeyong Yu on the ownership in the capitalized society with desires as the medium in 1970 can be applied, not only to the 70&quot;s, but also to the modem day society, which is called the age of post-capitalism. Now that the capitalized ownership is regarded as common today, Jaeyong Yu&quot;s novels in the 70&quot;s ask whether such relation distorts the genuinely free human relationship, what is genuine resistance to us, what is resistance for upright human relationship in the capitalized modem society, and what is desirable relationship in the society that a resistant subject can create, requiring of us to realize the ideal relationship.
