이청준 소설과 기독교의 상관성 연구 (양장본 Hardcover)

김영숙

이청준의 소설을 접한 것은 우연이었다. 단편소설 〈벌레이야기〉를 접하고 지금까지 살아오면서 종교가, 신앙인이 인간에게 그토록 상처를 줄 수 있다는 것을 절감하기는 처음이었다. 그날 이후 이청준의 소설에 푹 빠졌다. 그의 작품은 참 많은 것을 생각하게 하는 힘이 있었다. 특히 기독교와 관련된 그의 소설은 나에게 연구의 대상이라기보다는 신앙인으로서 살아가는 삶 자체로 와닿는 현실이기도 했다. 그의 작품을 두고 기독교적 상상력, 용서, 영웅, 신념 등의 주제로 연구를 해왔다. 문학적 치료에 대해 관심을 갖고 있다. 이러한 연구가 문학으로 가능한 사회적 역할에 일정한 소임을 할 것이라고 믿고 있다. 이청준 소설의 기독교적 상상력 연구로 상명대학교 국어국문학과에서 박사학위를 받았다. 상명대, 한세대, 농협대, 국민대, 한양대 ERICA, 인천대, 순천향대 등 여러 대학에 출강했거나 하고 있다.
