여성문학(사)의 ‘역사/문화’ 공간 생성과 ‘디지털’ 창의-생산을 위한 시론 - 상상지리지 설계와 문화생산을 위한 전제ㆍ조건ㆍ방법

Abstract

This paper investigated the possibility of cultural space design as a mode of ‘creative-production’ at a digital dimension through arguing the significance of both the representations of cultural history through non-scripted affective elements and the female literature considering experience, actions, practice, and orality. This work starts from the viewpoint that reconstructing the cultural geography of women in the Joseon period in digital level should go beyond digitalization as a fixed method of reproducing the textual data. It also presents the view that audiences in a digitalized space can have opportunities to understand the original literary data in a new form by experiencing other audiences’ viewpoints on this content as a human resource. This paper examined the possibility of women’s practicality, value, literary life and ethical and affective practice as a way of analyzing women’s cultural/literary history, which are lettered in the texts oral transmission the Joseon period. The life history of the women the Joseon era, which are written in scripts are mediated through male, intellectual, scripts (hanmun, a Chinese character), through the a concept of institutional literature. Since the contents of investigations and reflections on subjective utterances and representations of women are either erased or concealed, the task of restoring such contents is similar to the work of ‘transparently existing’ shadow reading. In order to understand the female culture that is not permitted to literary life formally in the Joseon era and to restore their value and reality to the digital space, we should consider the women’s way of study like ‘seeing a lot and memorizing well’, unlike the masculine way of ‘reading a lot and memorizing well’. This could include maidens and nannies who occupied the lower class of the status system. In addition, it should be designed in a ‘creative-productive’ way that reflects and critically understands history and culture through the data, beyond the way of expanding and reproducing the male-centered gaze that looks at women. This paper explores the limitations of modern Korean audience in the way of existence of women’s culture in the Joseon era, expanding on their introspective, critical and imaginative understanding of the limitations and operating principles of historically existing reality, and suggested the necessity and possibility of human engineering implementation of digital design that can be done.
