텔레비전 드라마와 환상(성) - 환상적인 것’의 개념과 유형을 중심으로

Abstract

Television drama is dominated by the time of ‘daily life’ and the space of ‘family’. It is natural that the circularity of ‘daily life’ and the openness of ‘family’ influence the fictional world in television drama. This is why, among the reality and fantasy as material, television drama prefers reality, unlike movie. Movie is a short-term gaze toward one-time or single text, but television drama is a long-term glance at many time or multiple texts. This makes continuous immersion and continuity difficult to be elicited. Therefore, the world implemented in television screen shares time sense and space sense with the real world largely outside the screen. It is overwhelming that the television drama in Korea prefers reality. However, from the late 1990s up to now, especially in 2010, ‘fantasy’ in television drama in Korea shows a clear increase enough to be called as one flow. The appearance and spread of ‘fantasy’ in television drama can be found from internal and external changes surrounding television. If an internal factor is an expansion of human and physical conditions accompanied with dominating videos of this ‘fantasy,’ an external factor can be said as an overflow of the desire of the public who want to peep at beyond the reality of ‘being skeptical of the reality.’ The recent preference for the reality to come as well as the back side of reality conversely exposes the fatigue of the public against the reality now and here. Fantasy in television drama is largely based on two conditions. It is to a. establish unrealistic conditions (phenomenon) or worlds while based on the reality and indicates that b. this world will be represented audiovisually through standardization and rationalization. Fantastic world and creation that satisfy such conditions are formed when unrealistic elements of the part or the entire among the sum of human, time, and space that constitutes the world trespass. It deals with unrestricted come-and-go between the past, the present, and the future, time that cannot be specified, and future that did not come in addition to the past or the present and inhuman/antihuman/superhuman things appear against humans. It also draws interference of the different world's and the external world's interference with the world of reality. And this world is reborn again as the other fantastic world depending on connection with or disconnection from the reality.
