Abstract
The location of Lee Cheong-joon's “Gasoo” is a time when the historical events of the April 19 democratic revolution and the military coup of May 16 led to hope and frustration with a time difference of less than a year. In this period, individuals are established as others, not as subjects. Lee Cheong-joon reveals the violent nature that occurs in this subject-other relationship by reproducing the other. The reproduction of the other person as an 'anonymous being' in 'Gasoo' is presented through the testimony of the related person. The location where the two main heroes are reproduced as anonymous beings is in the imaginary identification of the witnesses. Lee Cheong-joon reveals the violent situation in which anonymous beings are prohibited from being alone as a whole, with the gloomy atmosphere that dominates the text and the disconnection of communication. And again, as an alternative for the subject to stand alone, it is found in communication in a conversational relationship. This writer's alternative is also revealed in the narrative strategy of “Gasoo”. It avoids violent foundations against others by showing a three-dimensional view of others with a complex and multi-layered narrative situation in the frame format.
