데리다의 아카이브 위탁과 죽음충동의 장소

Derrida's Archives: A Place of Consignment and Dearth Drive

본 연구는 데리다의 『아카이브 열병』에서 드러난 아카이브의 의미를 살펴보고자 한다. 데리다는 프로이트의 정신분석을 근간으로, 아카이브에서 의미가 생성, 소멸되는 과정과 이에 작용하는 무의식적 욕구를 분석했다. 이를 통해 아카이브가 단순히 과거의 수동적인 기록보존소가 아닌, 현재와 미래의 기억을 끊임없이 재구성하는 능동적이고 복합적인 장소임을 밝혔다. 본 고에서는 데리다의 『아카이브 열병』을 근간으로 아카이브의 내부에서 발생하는 긴장과 충돌, 기억의 선택과 배제 과정을 데리다의 위탁권력과 죽음충동이라는 개념을 통해 이해하고자 했다.

This study seeks to examine how to understand the meaning and function of archives from the perspective of deconstruction through a discussion of Derrida's 『Archive Fever』. Derrida argues that the archive is not a space of fixed and absolute truth, but a place open to various interpretations. Archive records are composed of countless meanings constantly created by the people who produce the records and the people who read them. As a result, the archive is not simply a place to store past documents, but a place where meanings are produced, destroyed, and interacted with each other. It must be understood as a complex place. Derrida's view of archives reveals a deconstructive perspective on archives that can be understood separately from the discourse of power and memory. Based on Freud's psychoanalysis, Derrida analyzes the process by which meaning is created and destroyed in archives and the unconscious desires that act on it. Through this, we see that archives are not simply passive records of the past, but memories of the present and future. We must acknowledge that it is an active and complex place that is constantly being reorganized.
