메타 인지적 담론화 방법으로의 ‘감각’과 SF소설 개념의 ‘전환’ - 오에 겐자부로의 「치료탑 행성」을 중심으로 -

초록

This study explores the conceptual transformation of SF literature and the metacognitive discourse of “sensation,” focusing on Kenzaburō Ōe’s Towers of Healing. Ōe’s SF novels integrate literary premonition and scientific hypotheses, expanding them as texts that examine human existence. Towers of Healing investigates humanity’s sustainability through the binary opposition of the “chosen ones” and the “left behind,” while also analyzing the transformation of religious beliefs and the impact of technology on human identity, particularly through the notions of modified humans and posthumans. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that Ōe’s SF novels serve not merely as future predictions but as discursive spaces where scientific thought and literary imagination intersect. In particular, Towers of Healing provides a critical exploration of modern technological civilization and its ethical implications through the fusion of premonition and hypothesis.
