Literature of Transiting SF Imagination and Generation: Focusing on Kim Bo-young’s novels

This study examined Kim Bo-young’s novel from a writer’s perspective, iden tifying “transversality” as the driving force in the literary world. Hierarchical an thropocentrism, which has been regarded as true since modern times, has brought various problems to the present world, such as the climate crisis and social ex tinction. To solve the new problem, we need to look beyond the existing thinking and systems that caused the problem. Transversality raises questions about modern hierarchical structures and encourages us to consider a new direction for world recognition. Kim Bo-young demonstrated the need for a method of transversality through a detailed science-fiction narrative. It requires us to envisage a new world in which a hierarchical dichotomous structure is considered natural, moving horizontal ly between the past and the future, the body and mind, and power and potency. Constructing a horizontal interest structure connects specific bodies and senses and further expands the meaning by connecting this sensory experience with socio-po litical power issues. This emphasizes the fact that thinking about how to reproduce the transformation and what it will be is a 21st-century way of thinking, defining what it will ‘becom ing’ rather than ‘being’. Kim Bo-young’s literature, which offers new possibilities rather than fixed identities through various lines that subdivide the dichotomous structure, makes people realize the importance of multiple others and relationships.
