영화 〈기생충〉의 시각 정체성과 서사 정체성

Abstract

This paper analyzes Joon-ho Bong"s film Parasite using a methodology that combines scientific analysis with humanistic interpretation. Scientific analysis uses Jean-Marie Floch"s visual semiotics as a methodology, and humanistic interpretation uses Paul Ricoeur"s hermeneutics. Specifically, it is a methodology that integrates Floch’s visual identity and Ricoeur’s narrative identity. This paper analyzed the story of Parasite to derive the discourse structure. Also, by analyzing the images of the film, this paper derives the visual identity and the semi-symbolic system. Through this, this paper discovered the deep meaning of the film, the collision of modernity and traditionality or the clash of nature and culture. The narrative identity of Parasite is a dialectic of personality and self-preservation that is exposed through the plot of Kiwoo’s becoming a new person by breaking with the fake personality. And the integration of the heterogeneity that emerges from the plot where the world of Kitaek and the world of CEO Park collide is also the narrative identity. This is connected with the disharmony of nature and culture.
