1980년대 한국영화에서 생산의 공간에 관한 연구(1980-1987)

Abstract

The history of Korea in the 1980s began with the emergence of Chun Doowhan and his military regime. The regime who came to dictate to rule over Korea through the Gwangju democratic uprising and massacre aimed to keep up its power, while concealing the process of its acquisition of power that was immoral and illegitimate. The Korea cinema of this period went with the regime. The erotic and sexual expressions in the 1980s Korean cinema made transformed and meaningless the social structure and political contradiction. At the same time, however, there were some films that realistically, but symbolically and indirectly, dealt with social problems. This means that the Korean cinema of the 1980s failed to notice that it could have determined its own styles to reflect the spatial characters of Korean society and their changes dramatically transformed by the military regime. This paper aims that the Korea films of the 1980s generally have no intention to see the space of the society and its changes. Compared with the way in which Soviet and Eastern european countries faced the reality during the Stalin regime, what the Korean cinema of the 1980s erotically visualized was a kind of shame with no need to ascribe it to the regime’s 3S policy.
