Abstract

Local-literature is the important point of local culture, but most of politics, economics, society, and culture are concentrated in center that causes comparative deprivation in the province. This fact could refer to local culture as well. However, local culture is not subjugated and lower culture, compared with the center, because it would be called another central culture. Local culture based on regional identity should create the value successfully. National competitiveness would have an advantage if each region has a various cultural value. Local-literature is necessary property of local culture because literature is known as the art of language. Local culture is finally embodied with advertising through language. It results that a local autonomous entity should be interested in local-literature. Local-literature should overcome the concept that it is just a diaspora isolated from literacy circles in the metropolis and should be dispersion literature through yearning, which inspires the real local patriotism. According to the case study of small town Nonsan, we confirm that exploring regional historic sites could be vitalized with using local-literature moderately. Setting Park Bum-Sin's literary memorial stone as an orgin, we could visit the places backgrounds of Na Ju-Tae's and Park Yong-Rae's poem. By looking around the buildings built in Japanese colonial era, we could also explore the places backgrounds of Kim Ju-Young's and Jo Jung-Rae's novel. In addition, we could be worthwhile to explore the places: a village where Kim Gu had wanted to move with his mother and a town where the cardinal Kim Su-Hwan had lived. We could enjoy looking around historic sites related of Yoon Jeung and Kim Jang-Saeng, well-known scholars in Jo-sun dynasty. Naturally, a local autonomous entity with using it would be advanced if it is used in whole Europe and applied in a public reading of literary work. This event would be valued for the vitalization of local culture. Furthermore, it would be connected with local traditional culture or tourist attractions for cultural contents development. For example, in Nonsan, we could create the literary work from General Gye-Baek's Hwang San Bul Battle. Also, we can provide people to experience as a merchant at Kang-gyuong's Salted Fish Festival and build an annex for meditation near the Tap-jung Lake in order to distinguish hugeness as an advantage. It is a good idea to open a contest of literary work based on ‘lake’ with forming a park like Bi-rim Park in China. The most important matter of vitalization of local culture is made by a local autonomous entity's will and central government's support. Each region should escape the prejudice which buiding similar memorial halls like other regions have done is the proper way to hold its towns or villages. In addition, it should not waste finance from events focused on several festivals because wasting finance results that it would be impossible to create local culture with a unique characteristic. Local autonomous entities, therefore, should focus on competitive cultural contents development with an outlook. Central government should fully support these local autonomous entities as well for invigoration of local culture, especially good businesses.
