영문 초록

This paper aims to analyze Hemingway's "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife" by a postcolonial theory. The field of postcolonial theories is fashionable, fast-growing, and riven with debates now. It has confronted us with hidden or unstated implications of colonial relations between lands and people for the interpretation of literary works. Recently, postcolonial studies are giving prominence to voices and subjectivities previously silenced by colonialism. One of the American writers, Mark Twain, created his works involving American Indians on precursory humanitarian postcolonialism, as he protects American Indians as hyperreal, namely more real than real Americans. Hemingway also used to write about the American Indian. His second work "The Doctor" is based on a domestic incident in the summer of 1911 in Baker's Life. Dr. Hemingway summoned some American Indians to cut up some logs. On the day the Indians arrived, he followed them with a camera to the beach to take pictures of them while they worked. However, Dick, one of the Indians, told the doctor that he knew he had stolen the timber, and it became a cause of conflict between the Indians and Dr. Hemingway. After Hemingway wrote an epigraph of "The Doctor," drawn from a memento of the European front line, he also wrote a conflict between a White doctor and a few American Indians. In the work, an Indian like Dick, really looked after a white man and they used to speak Indian language while they merely gather themselves, though the Indians could speak English. The book's title of his short stories, In Our Time, means a time in which there is no peace for the whiteman, who observes and learns from the American Indians. And so, by the postcolonial point of view, we can see other aspects of Hemingway's American Indians which are different from previous studies.
