Park No-hae’s literature in the 1980s has become an object of diachrony that must be judged as a turning point in literary history at the present time. When the Minjung-poetry before and after Park No-hae are listed diachronically, the literary content that becomes the turning point of “Labor’s Dawn” is the subjectivation of the subject who represents the problematic events of the world. And the aspect that structurally clarifies the characteristics of this self-description is the concept of sacrifice that was newly given meaning in the 1980s. This paper will examine Park No-hae’s “Labor’s Dawn” from the perspective of sacrificial rituals to find out how the subject that appears in the Minjung-poetry of the 1980s operates and what its meaning is.
The ultimate goal of sacrificial rituals is the accumulation of wealth through the maintenance of productive power. In “Labor’s Dawn,” “machines” symbolize the infinite production of labor power. This infinite production simultaneously causes the infinite accumulation of wealth. As a result, capitalists who are capable of infinite accumulation do not need to resolve the excess. The important thing is that the worker is no longer considered a substitute for the accumulation of wealth. The worker is excluded from the symbolic system of production, accumulation, and consumption in a society. This situation of the worker is identical to the social status of “homo sacer,” who is excluded from both the right to life and sanctification in a state of political exception.
The limit situation faced by the subject of “Labor at Dawn” is the worker’s exclusion from the social symbolic system. Therefore, the worker stages a situation of sacrifice in order to overcome the limit situation. Almost all works of “Labor at Dawn” directly or indirectly implement this staging of sacrifice. This sacrifice is a self-sacrifice in which the subject of the sacrifice and the object of the sacrifice are the same.
What is the first step to escaping from homo sacer? It is to realize that they are in such a situation and to solidarize with people in the same situation. The workers’ movement toward solidarity can be said to be the practice of such awareness. The subject that emerged in the new popular poetry in the 1980s realizes that he is a homo sacer of labor through the self-sacrifice ritual and transforms into a subject that stands in solidarity with workers in the same situation. That is how the dawn of labor begins.
