Abstract

This paper aims to deal with post-apocalypse materials that began the apocalyptic selfawareness that the world is an anthropocene, experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and began to move from genre literature to pure literature. Among them, it will deal with the spatiality of Choi Jin -young's work “Where the Sun Goes,” which has been pointed out as a Korean-style post- apocalypse literature through various studies. Several studies have proven that studying the spatiality of literary works is a meaningful methodology that can reveal how the artist's thoughts are ideated and symbolized in the work, and how the artist's insights are structurally interacted with the characters. Therefore, this paper will analyze Choi Jin-young's “Where the Sun Goes” in this way, analyze how the author reveals his thoughts through spatiality in Korean-style post-apocalypse literature, examine how the metaphor of modern society is structured and used as spatiality, and furthermore, what alternative spaces are presented. This will be a meaningful study to confirm how Korean-style post-apocalypse novels use spatiality to escape from reproductive ethics and satirize the blatance of the violent system in modern society, and further present a new vision.
