북한체제 내 사적 담론 형성의 가능성 : 공적 담론 위기를 중심으로 (A Prospect of Private Discourse Formation : Focusing on Crisis of Public Discourse)

This research tries to focus on changing process of a dominant discourse
in order to investigate changing aspects of North Korean system. In
general, change of a dominant discourse links with formation of a counter-
discourse. In other words, formation of a counter-discourse means
a break of the existing dominant discourse, and also its characteristics
helps to estimate aspects of social change.
It is a private discourse as a counter-discourse, though there are many
other kinds of counter-discourses, that this research tries to examine.
The public sphere in North Korea is considerably large, because it seeks
strong social integration. In North Korea, various control systems has
been established not only in political area but also in everyday life, so
that the private area restricted seriously. The multilevel reviews of life
(saenghwal chonghwa) held in the party organization, workplace and neighborhood
unit (inminban) is one representative example showing little space
of private life. Reduction of the private area also means limitation of
private discourse. In such condition, private discourse formation itself
becomes a foundation to bring a crack of existing dominant discourse
and shape a new counter-discourse.
This research aims to examine a possibility to form private discourse
as a part of changing prospect in North Korean system. Thus, it is
necessary to look into characteristics of discourse structure in socialist
system so as to make conformity of discussion related to private discourse
formation in North Korea. In particular, it focuses on the relational interaction
between the public discourse and the private discourse. It examines
about an existing form of the private discourse in a society which the
public discourse is dominant, a structure of specialization between the
public and private discourse, and a path and form to shape the private
discourse in socialist system in transition that the public discourse is
losing its dominant status.
