Abstract

The “nation narrative” that literature evokes after the war is reproduced again in literature. The memory of war reproduced in literature functions as a kind of window to approach the truth of history by adding fictional imagination to the fragmented and blurred personal narrative. Memory and trauma can be considered through historical historical historical research of war, but it can be dealt with from a macroscopic and international perspective centered on grand discourses or national narratives, which can make it far from restoring the war experience and understanding of individual subjects. In addition, there may be limitations in drawing out private memories suppressed by the dominant ideology of the time. However, through the author's empirical consideration, the appearance of war reborn in the space of literary works allows us to imagine the narrative of microscopic and individual subjects that cannot be captured from a macroscopic and international perspective. Here, through the novel War Trash, we will examine the traces of memories and trauma that war engraves on individuals, and through this, we will move on to the problem of the memory of war and the reproduction of trauma in literature. Through the difference between the meaning of war in a realistic space and the meaning of it when it moves to the space of literature, it is expected to provide implications for the movement and change of narrative subjects, diversification of perspective on narrative objects, and hidden problems that can be discussed today.
