초록
The article examines the performance of the pyŏnsa (“film narrator”) during the Japanese colonial rule. The pyŏnsa is a narrator that introduces the characters and the setting, and explains the physical actions and psychological dilemmas during silent film screenings. Accompanying imported films, the pyŏnsa functioned as a cultural intermediary during the Korean audience’s film-viewing experience, and utilized his narration to complement censorship or technological limitations during the silent film period (1897∼1934) in Korea. Drawing from Homi Bhabha’s theories of hybridity and colonial/postcolonial narratives, this research examines the pyŏnsa’s role as a cultural translator. Through a close study of pyŏnsa performances of Un’gyu Na’s silent films, this research also analyzes how the pyŏnsa’s narration constructs Koreanness. While sentiments of nationalism or patriotism may be embedded in the plots of the silent films, the pyŏnsa’s film narrating performance served as a tactic in effectively transmitting such affect to the audience.
Abstract
The article examines the performance of the pyŏnsa (“film narrator”) during the Japanese colonial rule. The pyŏnsa is a narrator that introduces the characters and the setting, and explains the physical actions and psychological dilemmas during silent film screenings. Accompanying imported films, the pyŏnsa functioned as a cultural intermediary during the Korean audience’s film-viewing experience, and utilized his narration to complement censorship or technological limitations during the silent film period (1897∼1934) in Korea. Drawing from Homi Bhabha’s theories of hybridity and colonial/postcolonial narratives, this research examines the pyŏnsa’s role as a cultural translator. Through a close study of pyŏnsa performances of Un’gyu Na’s silent films, this research also analyzes how the pyŏnsa’s narration constructs Koreanness. While sentiments of nationalism or patriotism may be embedded in the plots of the silent films, the pyŏnsa’s film narrating performance served as a tactic in effectively transmitting such affect to the audience.
