<심청전>의 근대적 변용 연구

Abstract

ShimChungJeon showed a huge change in modern times as a result of passing it down for a long time. Works of classical literature had been newly created or transformed in order to adapt to new circumstances since modern times after The Political Reform in 1894 - called GapOhKyungJang in Korean. Along with this change, ShimChungJeon also could be made different for contemporary people. It is evident that recreated ShimChungJeon in modern times made an effort to change the contents in the light of the new era. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out meanings of ShimChungJeon by focusing on transformation and reproduction of ShimChungJeon in modern times. In addition, this study examines significance of researching the classical literature's meanings from the adapted ShimChungJeon so that it reviews how to make our classical literature meaningful every time the classical literature has to encounter new eras and cultures. In this study, there are transformed works of ShimChungJeon in modern times. The works are JobGeuk ShimChungWangWhoJeon by GyuHyung Ryeo; SinJung ShimChungJeon(MongGeumDoJeon) by BarkMoonSeoGwan publishing; MahnMoon Cartoon Modern ShimChungJeon by GyuTaek Kim; MahnGeuk Modern ShimChungJeon; and ShimBongSa by ManShik Chae - two volumes of play and a work of fiction respectively. Through those works, media and style of ShimChungJeon had been getting diversified and there was narrative transformation in ShimChungJeon. This transformation is meaningful that ShimChungJeon not only tried to accept modern Korean tradition to modern times as new cultural circumstance but also expanded publicity which classical literature originally has. Furthermore, it is significant that adapters of ShimChungJeon expressed their awareness of modern times.
