국제결혼과 혼혈의 탄생 －최정희의 <끝없는 浪漫>을 중심으로－

초록

The international marriage had been accepted as the true love across the border or international romance, however, is faced with the new issue with the birth of the child. The birth of the mixed－bloods moves the focus from the love between individuals to the issue of race and lineage in the discourse on international marriage, often resulting in extreme conflict which takes place between the desire to sublimate international marriage into pure love and the fear from mixing bloods. The existence of mixed－bloods who were born through a series of events such as the national liberation of Korea followed by the stationing of US Army and the Korean War added more chaos to the discourse on international marriage. This study examines the impact of the discourse on mixed－bloods in the 1950's upon the discourse on international marriage through Jung－Hi Choi’s full－length novel, Endless Romance(1958) and the newspaper articles at the time. The discourse on mixed－bloods produced negative ideas generally summarized into ① Occupier’s Name, ② Seed of Vanity of Women Worshipping the USA, and ③ Eugenically Inferior Gene. The international marriage used to symbolize romantic love, but it no longer has the foothold and is disappearing due to mixed－bloods.
