Abstract

This series of studies, which is aesthetic and psychoanalytic considerations of the logic of discourse based on ‘emblem’ in the modern era of image, stems from the perspective that ‘emblem is an aesthetic form and psycho-philosophical content unique to image sign.’ This study illuminates the aesthetic and psychoanalytic logic of emblem that constitutes the form and content of image and comprehensively examines the concrete process of forming the symbolic meaning of emblem through analysis of text cases.<BR> This paper, the second result of a multi-year investigation for three years, is a study on ‘the psychoanalytic logic of emblem’, following the first study on ‘the aesthetic logic of emblem.’ While reflecting, from the psychoanalytic perspective, on the psycho-philosophical logic of emblem, that is, an image representing body-sensation-desire, we discussed in detail ’the psychoanalytic structure of emblem and the logic of formation of symbolic meaning of emblem.’<BR> As a follow-up, the third study will be ‘a case study’ that goes further from the theoretical studies, and we will apply practical understanding of our two previous theoretical studies through literary texts that show the models of emblematic writing.<BR> Through this multi-year study, we will shed light on ‘the modernity of emblem’ along with ‘the aesthetic and psychoanalytic logic of emblem as a mode of discourse in the era of image’ and furthermore, will attempt to tentatively set forth ‘a literary vision in the era of image.’
