근대 일본 유학생의 공간 체험과 표상*-유학생 기행문을 중심으로-

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the appearance of early modern Japan-studied students' spatial experience and representation in their travel writings. This aim attempts to reinterpret the studying abroad in modern times not from ideological/systemic but from private experiential perspective. In this perspective, studying abroad serves as a major momentum for subject forming of overseas students, and their subjectivity provide a epistemological foundation for the modern Korean literature. In this paper, the overseas students' spatial experience is regarded as an essential motif for modern subject forming. Space creates an universal body which be adapted to a certain space by controling the body. The adapted body is a precondition for homogenized recognition. The students' spatial experience progress toward organizing of recognition system required from a certain space. At first, the overseas students internalize the body control at the school in which they are learning. The internalizing of spatial experience is kept on in the area of private spatial experience. The record of private spatial experience are overseas students' travel writings. And we can identify the relationship between the spatial experience and the organizing of modern epistemological system through the spatial representation in their travel writings.
