서사 미학적 관점에 입각한 <오세암>의 재조명

Abstract

In this study, This paper sought to reveal the narrative aesthetic characteristics of the animation Oseam based on narrative structure theory. This goal was to reveal the aesthetic value of the animation Oseam and publicize its completeness, thereby bringing today's reexamination to Oseam, which did not receive public attention at the time of its release. Accordingly, this study aimed to shed light on the value of Oseam as a narrative art medium by revealing its aesthetic characteristics as a narrative text. In order to specify this, it was explained based on Gérard Genette concept of time and Seymour Chatman’s elements of spatial mediating variables. The sequential characteristics of the narrative structure and Gilson's desperate search for her mother were discussed through various sequential characteristics. The speed is controlled through the acceleration and deceleration of time related to the continuation between story and discourse, and the continuously appearing Buddhist world creates an organic connection between story-space-time and discourse-space-time. The mise-en-scène of the space called Gwaneumam is a space where Gilsoni attains Buddhahood and contributes to the reproduction of reality through spatial parameters. Above all, Gilson's attainment of Buddhahood, having reached the state of samsara, assumes spiritual continuity and implies the transcendental value of enlightenment and affirmation of life. In this way, in the aesthetic characteristics of Gwaneumam in the cyclical worldview of birth, death, and rebirth, Gilsoni implies the sublime beauty of being reborn through the rebirth of eternal return. Therefore, Oseam can be said to symbolize a microcosm that does not change in the eternal world, and Gilsoni in this microcosm symbolically shows that he has reached the state of Mahasuka.
