The modern age in Korea can be understood in the middle of a big frame in family romance. It is not accidental that Lee Hyeong-sik, who is a hero of 『Mujeong(heart of stone)』 in Korean novel that addressed a problem of the modern entity for the first time, appears as orphan. However, another unconsciousness, which needs to have the Japanese empire as another father, positions in the family romance dubbed a sense of political orphan-hood that did need to be experienced by the modern period in Korea. Orphans denied a father. However, what did need to have a new father called the Japanese empire, is caught by the logic of the colonial ‘double bind.’ In such case, another children, who were born due to the affiliation of those two fathers, are given a name dubbed ‘mixed blood.’ What allowed the existence in people of mixed race, who had proceeded with living in the colony, to appear as hero of a work with capturing them almost uniquely, is Yeom Sang-seop‘s novel.
In Yeom Sang-seop’ ｢Namchungseo｣ and 『Love and Sin』, a person of mixed race
appears between a bourgeois family head, who was a branch manager in the Korean
Enlightenment Period, but amassed a big fortune now with relying upon the colonial
authority, and a Japanese concubine.
What the narration of Hwang Sun-won‘s 『Human Grafting』 is delivering is just a point that the colonial orphans’ life came to have close relationship even with orphans‘ life following the liberation and the Korean war. What the principal and the employees for a corrective institute in a work put the best effort is just a point of striving to be delivered the relief supplies by the US Army in America. This point informs of many things about a problem of colony and post-colony. The illumination on life of orphans, who proceed with living with depending on the relief supplies of the US army, is developed into the aspect of being mixed the orphans and the mixed blood as a result of its stationing as the stationing of the US army had been extended since then. The process that the memory of orphans and mixed blood continues to come back is not what is different from the process that just its reality, which had been aimed to be suppressed by Korean people and unconsciousness in Korean culture, returns. The existence of orphans and children of mixed race, which had positioned in the abyss of our literature through experiencing colony, makes the true task of post-colony recalled by returning to the central part of literature and history amid the long process in post-colony.

이 글은 제국/식민지 체제에서 고아와 혼혈아가 재현되는 양상과 그것이 해 방 이후 호출되고 기억된 양상을 주체의 정체성 정립, 식민지 피지배자의 표 상, 귀환하고 회수되는 정체성의 차원에서 주목하고자 한다. 식민지와 해방 직 후의 서사에서 고아와 혼혈아가 스스로를 민족적 주체로 정립하는 과정을 식 민주의에 대한 저항으로만 파악하던 관점에서 벗어나, 식민과 후식민의 과제 와 여기에 개입되는 윤리적 이데올로기에 대한 검토를 통해 살펴보고자 한다.
