ABSTRACT

This paper is to identify the power of the work which belches out a social and historic universality in a specific era or beyond the era under the precondition that a necessary and sufficient condition is not so far satisfied to determine the completion of the discussion around 「Mujingihang」 because there still are unsolved questions as well as still existing problem presentations. Therefore, the discussion in this article is an act beyond previously made speaking of 「Mujingihang」. It is above all a work of returning floating questions to a text-oriented discussion of 「Mujingihang」 honorably. At the same time, it is a process of asking how the discussions so far to look for answers to the questions were possible. For this purpose, the form of 'Journey(essay)', the meaning of his journey to Mujin through Hijung's situation and Mujin's spatial characteristics, and the signs that he unconsciously confesses a discovery of another identity inside him are examined based on his experience(physical) and the complex relationships between the characters. By doing so, the process of identifying 'I', in other words, the process of discovering 'I' hidden inside of me(multiple personality) is not a disease symptom a person suffers but a universal phenomenon of time, and an another shape of timely pain which is isolated from communication and happily coexisting ways with groups of people. In addition, a belief of never changing and eternally essential 'I' is said to be an delusion, and illusions of authority and the emptiness of a blind obedience to the illusions are spoken ironically. The reason why 「Mujingihang」 is continuously read with the contemporaneity and beyond the universality and discussed always newly is here.
