- Title
Specter, Rhizome, and Bridge: Kim Su-yeong's View of Tradition.
- Authors

- Abstract
There are two major currents in the field of social sciences in regards to tradition and modernity. The first one, which is accepted as an irrefutable theory, is centered on the thesis that modernity destroys tradition. The second one, asserted by Hobsbawm, is based on the thesis that modernity invents tradition. Although they apparently oppose each other, they share the same presupposition, since both of them perceive tradition as a substance. This paper examines, in this regard, a third way of perceiving tradition, which is to look at it from the perspective of the theory of tradition asserted by Kim Su-yeong. For this, I will restructure his theory of tradition referring to concept of "specter" created by Demda and also concept of "rhizome" created by Deleuze and Guattari. I will also examine the symbol of the symbolic space of bridge where tradition and modernity communicate each other. Through this process, I attempt to revive the possibility of thinking the tradition in a new perspective.
