이윤택 TV 드라마 에 나타난 일상성 연구

Abstract

For the study of routineness on Lee Yun Taek's TV drama "residents in a city," this paper examines the realm of his TV drama. To begin with, the theoretical background of the routineness and the general aspects of the Korean TV drama with respect to the routineness are examined. Since the fundamental reconsideration was brought up to the contradiction of the capitalistic society, the routineness has been mainly emphasized in the field of literature and art. It was Edmund Husserl who established the cornerstone of academic interests for the everyday life in terms of routineness, and his concept of "Lebenswelt [lifeworld]" has drawn various academic discussions. The argument of Edmund Husserl in philosophy succeeded to Martin Heidegger's study of the everyday life. Heidegger who defined an unessential life of a human as the everyday life explained that as "In-der-Welt-Sein [Being-in-the-world]", a human should come to the essential life by overcoming the everyday life. Sociology also attempted to study the social repetition in the viewpoint of the everyday life in regards to the progress of the Western industrial society. In the field of Sociology, this paper is closely related to the discussion of the everyday life inherited from Marxian tradition. Especially, Henri Lefebvre understood that the everyday life is the realm that dual mechanisms are working; showing the capitalistic changes of life and concealing the unchanged part of capitalism. His viewpoint became a valid theoretical basis to explain the current contradiction of the Korean society. Based on that point, the study on TV drama "residents in a city" reflecting the everyday life concludes that the city that Lee Yun Taek thinks is the author's mental portrait that criticize a phase of social life toward the belief of materials in the place where rapid industrialization cause contradiction. He assumed that the city is the place to repress and control the human with such laws and norms although they are supposed to live freely with their own thinking. What Lee Yun Taek focuses on in the city is the routine life as a resident in a city. In the city where one great man can collapse in a moment, he approaches to satirize the life style of the hypocritical and falsified city by being a gunman of the desert, and, at times, a cultural guerrilla. Also as the satire is presented in the drama, this satire is successful to form the urbanized trend of young people with excessive exaggeration and artificiality, but it was not persuasive with respect to its contents. As the disintegration of family members has deepened with industrialization, he struggles to bring in the new unbreakable world. It is a utopian place of life worth living by harmonizing in the place of city. However, it expresses that his realistic life comes before the things found in the present. The separation and integration which come and go between 'the heavenly world' coexisting knowledge and culture and 'the earthly world' as the living place pursue the overlapped composition of contradiction, and views residents in the urbanized life. Rapid Changes have been realized in the 1990s. In the context of these rapid changes, there was an essential denial toward the Marxism and modern rationalism, which formed heartstrings in our society in the 1980s. We can recognize that the denial of Marxism and rationalism shifted the foundation of perception; from the macro-level of public discussion to the micro-level of individualistic language of a desire; from ideology to specific reality of life; from masculine vertical order to the feminine horizontal relationship; from collective publicity to individual subjectivity. The gap of the change is not historical degradation, but progress, because it is the process of restoration of human's subjectivity and individuality locked in the illusion of ideology. However, before individual subjectivity had properly established value, sense, and orientation, the operational principles of consumption encouragement in post-industrial society rapidly spread over the entire society. So our everyday life degenerated into a so-called empire of symbols and images. Although I am emphasizing that "I am different," I have already become "me" in the capitalistic mechanism of totalitarian standardization and concentration. So a series of behaviors that we choose in order to emphasize and present our characteristics, in fact, is 'what we are chosen', not 'what we choose'. The author who reflected the system of capitalism takes gradual actions to codify everything in our daily life in line with the commodity logic. In the point of routineness, Lee Yun Taek's "residents in a city" should focus that the difference of historical background in reality enormously influences the social and cultural reflection. The reason why the routineness has been strengthened in our culture and literature is the import of postmodern discussion and its spread. His eyes always start from 'I' to 'we' and then to 'the society.' The author's eyes from 'I' examine his own identity through introspective consciousness, and shift the identity to 'we.' Also, the eyes that shifted to 'we' and 'the society' give us the chance to think of the future direction that our time and civil society should go by severely criticizing the civil society and describing 'the reality as it is.' His arts are intriguing in that they make us think about the causes of agony rather than they just depict the agony directly. And they are meaningful in that everything is the action for love. There is urbanized reason that breaks the complicated reality with introspection. The reason is just the transcendental, invisible, and energetic city. As Henri Lefebvre mentioned, when the flood of mechanism in the industrial society stimulates the desire of people as the dual structures; reality and imagination, the author approaches another dual structure of reality and imagination. So if the uncommon ideality, which the structure of our TV drama currently has, attempts to be separated from the TV audience, we now should express our trivial everyday behavior and convention in the TV drama. Therefore, Authors should be accepting the essential desires that continuously advance to the routine life, not by escaping from the routine life.
