이동(李東) 가사(歌辭) '니 여사 격근 역ᄉᆞ'와 '심회풀'에 나타난 생애 서술의 특징과 기억 재현의 양상

Abstract

A series of gasa created by a woman named Lee dong has recently been introduced to the academic world. This study examines the characteristics of Lee dong's description of her life as well as representational aspects of her memory in <History of Mrs. Lee> and <Simhoepul>, among the newly discovered gasa. Memories of the suffering and glory of a mother and her son are represented in <History of Mrs. Lee>. The author describes her life historically. On the other hand <Simhoepul> represents the pitiful and sad memories centering on her parents' family. Emotions of heartbreak are revealed in opening and ending parts of the work where the father is described. It is noteworthy, however, that several episodes placed in the middle are heart-warming and sometimes cause laughter. Both works depict a common aspect of narrative expansion centering on episodes, although. A specific time mark that appears in <History of Mrs. Lee> does not appear in <Simhoepul>. This narrative expansion is represented in three dimensions like a scene, through utterances and sensuous expressions of the characters in both works. It is also captured in the inclusion of her thoughts or appraisal of past acts, and admittance to the immediate problem without confining herself to a narrow retrospection. Meanwhile there are different versions of <History of Mrs. Lee>. It is noteworthy that there are signs of deletion, addition, and modification of contents as a result of repetitive transcription. The author seems to have repeatedly copied her previous works. Future studies should focus on such repeatedly copied works.
