경험담의 문학적 경계와 인식 －도깨비담을 중심으로－

Abstract

The Experience story is an indicator of the changing Storytelling-Site of modern times. Thus, although the mystery, legend, and folk tales have been included in the oral prose until now, it is time to study the Experience story as daily oral stories. The Experience story is mainly about the story of the narrator. When the essence of literature is the product of fiction and imagination, the Experience story cannot be literature because it is a story of fact. But in Storytelling-Site of modern times, increasing Experience story draw attention to its literary character. ‘Doggaebi stories’ is a typical fictional story in a folk tales tradition. But ‘Doggaebi stories’ is not a fiction but a story of fact. In the Storytelling-Site of modern times where the transmission of tales is weakened and the Experiences story is increasing, the story of the ‘Doggaebi-Fire Watch’ type, which is a story of fact, is actively transmitted because it is an Experience story. Nevertheless, the reason why ‘Doggaebi stories’ have been studied in the field of folk tales so far is that Experience stories are not included in the branch of the oral prose. It is the literality that is important for Experience story such as ‘Doggaebi stories’ to be studied in the field of the oral prose. Could it be literal, as Terry Eagleton argues, 'The essence of literature is not to be defined, anything can be literature, and anything that is considered unchanged and undoubtedly literary can no longer be literature' is not a question of the truthfulness of the content of the story, but of the perceptions of those who deal with it. Even if it is a story of the facts based on the narrator's experience, it can be a literary shaping and can be studied in the range of literature if it brings a literary image to the listeners.
