방정환의『사랑의 선물』광고 전략에　나타난 근대 동화(童話) 기획 연구-『어린이』수록 광고를 중심으로

Abstract

This study has looked at the book-advertising strategy among those factors that contributed to Bang Jeong-hwan’s translated collection of children's classics ‘A Gift of Love (1922)’ being a best-seller in the modern day and attempted to show that it was a part of the author’s modern fairy tale plan that aimed to introduce and spread the genre of ‘fairy tale.’ The McGuire SMCRE model-based communication theory was applied to the study. If Bang Jeong-hwan, the advertising planner of ‘A Gift of Love,’ is the source/sender, advertising copy, medium through which the advertisement is conveyed, then the advertising reader would be perceived as ‘message,’ ‘channel’ and ‘receiver’, respectively. In addition, readers’ response pattern and behavior can be explained as ‘effect.’ When the sender is reliable and experienced, the advertisement becomes more effective. At that time, readers’ trust in Bang Jeong-hwan was unconditional. Emotional appeals were more highly concentrated throughout the work as opposed to rational appeals in the “message” aspect of the text. Here, the medium was ‘tears,’ which play a shared role as a sign of both sender and receiver. In addition, the selection of the magazine ‘Children’ as the major channel of communication means that the receiver of the message is set to ‘Children.’ The effect of communication refers to the ultimate goal of advertisement. The purchasing of books is the primary effect of advertisement. However, the internalization of the ‘fairy tale’ was the ultimate goal Bang Jeong-hwan expected. The establishment of ‘fairy tale’ as the leading narrative genre of children’s literature means that communication through the advertisement of ‘A Gift of Love’ was a great success.
