초록

본고는 朴英熙가 번역한 「人造勞動者」를 대상으로, 近代 科學小說에 함축되어 있는 機械文明 이외의 다양한 ‘科學’ 槪念에 대해 고찰하고자 했다. 먼저, 進化論과 관련된 ‘科學’ 개념이었다. 「人造勞動者」에는 두 가지 進化의 모습이 형상화되어 있었다. 점차 발전하는 人造勞動者로 대변되는 ‘個體 進化’와 生存競爭에서 승리한 人造勞動者 중심의 사회가 환기하는 ‘社會 進化’가 그것이다. 朴英熙가 강조했던 唯物史觀 역시 기존의 社會進化論을 대체하면서 새롭게 등장한 進化論이었다. 둘째, 虛僞意識을 暴露하는 수단으로서의 ‘科學’이었다. 「人造勞動者」에는 資本의 論理와 勞動者에 대한 부르주아의 認識이 暴露되어 있었다. 虛僞意識은 唯物論的 前提 위에서 검토될 때 폭로될 수 있으며 이는 마르크스주의에서 또 하나의 科學이었다. 창작보다는 번역된 科學小說이 향유되었던 근대 초기의 ‘科學’은 단순히 機械文明만이 아닌 進化論, 虛僞意識을 暴露하는 科學 개념도 함축하고 있었다.

영어초록

The purpose of this study is to consider various meanings of “science” contained in the SF novels in the modern age, focused on the Artificial Worker translated by Park Yeong-hee. There are three types of semantic networks in the Artificial Worker. First is the concept of “science” in relation to civilization by the machines. Lee Gwang-su and Kim woo-jin understood the collapse of humanity in the novel as a satire to growth of human dependence on machines.
Second is the concept of “science” in relation to the evolution theory. The Artificial Worker featured the evolution of both individuals and society. Park Yeong-hee highlighted the materialistic view of history, suggesting a new type of evolution to replace the former one which represented the in- terest of imperialism. The materialistic view of history was recognized scientifically due to the aura of Darwin’s evolution theory.
Third network is the concept of “science,” as a tool to expose false awareness. The Artificial Worker revealed awareness of the bourgeoisie about logic of capitalism and the proletariat. The false awareness is usually concealed but exposed when it is reviewed on the preposition of mate- rialism. In addition, this was also identified scientifically by the Marxism.
In early days, when translated novels were widespread than the created ones, “science” had a broader meaning than the machine civili- zation. “Science” contained in the Artificial Worker translated by Park Yeong-hee had at least three concepts, which are the civilization created by machines, evolution theory and exposing false awareness.
