AB - This study examines the spatiotemporal characteristics of the contemporary genre phenomenon known as climate fiction. Above all, climate fiction's attempt to create cracks and disruptions in today's sense of seamless reality in order to escape from the awareness of the climate crisis and maintain an inertial understanding of reality seems to be succeeding in individualizing the genre. The strategic narratives and iconography of spatiotemporal usage observed in the novels of Kim Cho-yeop, Cheon Seon-ran, and Lee Jong-san, examined in this study, intersect climate disasters with our perception of reality, suggesting an open imagination that extends the horizon of awareness beyond the intentionally set boundaries of our reality.
In Kim Cho-yeop's "The Greenhouse at the End of the Earth," an alternative spatiotemporal concept that transcends dichotomous boundaries is proposed through the contrast between a closed dome space separated from disaster and an alternative spatiotemporal concept, Prim Village, which remains open to disaster. Cheon Seon-ran's "Moss Forest" critically recognizes the seamless reality of closed alternative spaces through the biopolitics and closed perception of reality in the underground city where climate refugees live, proposing a (post-)boundary spatiotemporal concept. Lastly, Lee Jong-san's "Bug Storm" critiques the neoliberal reality that constructs a seamless reality within the exhibition of commodities, even nullifying actual disasters, proposing a porous spatiotemporal concept coexisting with various troubles. Through a series of climate novels, this study cross-examines the genre phenomenon of climate fiction and the literary attempts to intervene in contemporary reality.
