문학은 언어 수행의 한 국면이다. 언어는 문학적 수행을 통해 상투적인 언어 수행과 다른 의사소통의 효과를 구현하여 진전의 계기를 얻는다. 이때 일상어와 다른, 문학 고유의 영역에 특화된 언어가 별도로 있는 것은 아니다. 따라서 ‘문학 언어’의 자질을 잘 구현한 미학적 자질을 입증하는 문학의 정통성에 대한 개념 도식은 무의미하다. ‘지역 문학’이나 ‘대중 문학’ 등과 같이 문학에 음수 표지가 부가된 부정항의 개념 도식으로 규정된 담론의 표제들은 허상이다. 이러한 맥락에서 문학에 관여된 중심의 이념에서 파생된 개념 도식이 온당한지 진단하고 부당한 이념의 작동을 들추어 흐트러뜨리는 일이 긴요하다. 이 글은 이러한 공정을 환기하는 시론에 상응한다.
Literature is an aspect of linguistic performance. Language obtains an opportunity for progress by realizing the effects of ordinary linguistic performances and other communications through literary performances. But there is no specialized language that is different from ordinary language and specialized in the area unique to literature. Therefore, a conceptual schema for the legitimacy of literature that proves the aesthetic features that well embody the qualities of so-called literary language is nonsense. The marked signs defined by the conceptual schema of negative terms added to literature, such as local literature or popular literature, have no substance. In this context, it is essential to diagnose whether the conceptual schema derived from the ideology of the Center involved in literature is reasonable, and to reveal and disrupt the operation of the unjust ideology. This article corresponds to an essay that evokes this process.
