ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the meaning of desire in novel education. Desire exists in human life. It was considered during the pre-modern times that desire was a thing to be controlled, but desire should be considered as a natural thing rather than just trying to control it because it inevitably occurs in human life and is made to function properly in our lives. In this paper, the purpose is to understand desire focusing on two major theories: Jacques Lacan’s desire theory, in which he saw desire from the relationship with others, and René Girard’s desire that occurred by imitating others’ desire. In addition, based on these desire theories, this paper analyzes in which patterns desire is revealed in novels, centering on Park Wan-Seo’s The Dreaming Incubator , from two different desire perspectives: desire that was made in the relationship with others and desire that was made by imitating a mediator. This paper aims to reveal the meaning of desire in terms of novel education by exploring the educational meaning of desire in novel education from two desire perspectives: a new understanding process of desire and a separation process of desire into other’s and my own desire.
