ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyse the meaning of masochism and representation of oral maternity in Son Chang-seop’s novels. Deleuze said that masochism is a contract in which a man entrusts all his rights to an oral maternity who comes and goes between a tempting ‘uterine maternity’ and a punishing ‘Oedipus maternity’. In masochism, an oral maternity forces and laughs at the father’s image hided in a masochist. As a contract between an punisher and a sufferer, which is contracted by the sufferer’s desire, masochism shows the reversed relations in which that a social weaker (like the handicapped and women) becomes a punisher and a social strong (like the intellectual and men) becomes a sufferer in 「Husband and wife」, 「Written in blood」 and 「A sufferer」. The rule of patriarchy like a sense of virtue and an ideology of the wise mother and good wife derives ironic humor with a woman punisher’s over-imitating. A woman punisher shows the image of an oral maternity who tempts, punishes and cares in novels at 1960s like 「Husband and wife」, 「Sons」, 「A class on human」, 「A study about the other sex」 etc.. In these novels the oral maternity who is sexual, kind and active destroys, laughs at and revises the morality of patriarchal society with temptation and care-giving.
