이슬람 고전의 현대적 계승과 변용

Abstract

Recently in domestic academic world, there is active research on modern succession and modification of classic literature, mythology and folktale, as well as history and chronicle. This is not only limited to Korea and there is visible research and experiment on succession and development of traditional culture in artistic circles all over the world. When converting a literature work as a textual value, it requires in-depth research and reception in the sense that it ultimately enrichens Korean literature’s soil and, furthermore, is a fruitful result that extends to world literature. Numerous intersecting points of textual interrelationship create a world: relationship between author and texts among an author and other authors, between author and society, and similarity and difference of literature work with world’s works. In order for Korean literature to reach world literature, there needs to be active effort to accept the characteristics in accordance to modern change as well as sincere research. This research is based on such discussions and examines cases where classic Islamic literature is absorbed and luxuriated for recreation along with characteristics of the descriptive technique of The Thousand and One Nights that is used in the works of three Turkish authors. Among structures of framework novel, Aziz Nesin’s Yaşar shows the form of narration used in circular framework, in other words target framework that aims to exchange social enjoyment as members of social community in the sense that various events internally take place. Ihsan Oktay Anar’s Tales of Efrasiyab is close to target framework in the sense of Scheherazade conversing every night to extend her life and, at the same time, close to circular framework in regards to many internal stories being placed in an external story. In addition,aside from the main character’s journey, Black Book portrays a circular framework where various columns are set as internal stories to create one framework. In this sense, it was confirmed that each works have different frameworks and are diversely modified, but such structures of framework novel was still being succeeded in modern literature works in the form of seeking to re-write. In other words, it can be interpreted that classics still take life today and hold their value. As many excellent literature works of today prove, there are many cases where the continual lives of classic works are modified and recreated to maintain their connection in all aspects. In the same way, Turkey has accumulated much classic works due to history of Osman Turk to hold its position as a source of restoration and inspiration and it is the present situation where many high-quality works are continually being recreated.
