ABSTRACT

Among 1960's novel, Lee Cheong-Jun and Choe in-hun's novels have destroyed the traditional narrative structure. The works of two writers criticize the contradiction of 1960's social symbolic systems and desire for the imaginary identification. These works destroy the traditional narrative structure by combining the signifiant of such desire through metaphor and metonymy. Due to the signifiant of desire for the imaginary identification, Two writers are distinct from each other. Lee Cheong-Jun's works substitute the signifiant of desire to the custom of 'Namdo'. Meanwhile, Choe in-hun's works substitute the signifiant of desire to the sea, namely the basic home of humankind. By each methods, two writers attempt self -identification of subject. For this reason, narrative structure of each work is decided. Each work metonymically combines narrative of desire related to the imaginary identification with narrative related to criticism on the symbolic systems. At the same time, metaphor-substitution comes true in each narrative. In Lee Cheong-Jun's works, the imaginary identification and criticism on the symbolic systems are connected by concrete reality. On the other hand, Choe in-hun's works partake strongly the aspect of abstractness. In Choe in-hun's works, the desire of the imaginary identification is substituted by the abstract human- civilization unlike Lee Cheong-Jun's works.
