문학적 서사의 역사화와 기억의 전승

Abstract

In this paper, the contents of ancient Korean history were created through literary narratives, and several examples were presented in which collective memories of the history were accepted and handed down to people as historical facts. In addition, we also looked at how it was historized throughout the process and became a collective memory, creating false perceptions to this day. In the process of implementing historical materials through literary narratives, some intention or purpose was embedded. In the pre-modern society, it could be the Confucian idea of women's fidelity, or in modern society, nationalism or identity could be expressed strongly in the crisis of the nation or nation, and sometimes people could be found beyond the people. After all, as state- or ethnic-oriented historical descriptions are shaped by the so-called 'the ancient society created' image, literary narratives made after the birth of modern national states have almost homogeneous characteristics. As with history, memory is usually accumulated and transmitted through records and phrases, and if the content and method of memory are based on literary narratives, it must be located beyond history. Ansiseong Fortress and General Yang Man-chun, Euljimundeok and War of Salsu, Yeongaesomoon and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, King of the Uija and three thousand palace women, Muyeong Pagoda and Asadal‧Asanyeo were probably the highlights of our ancient history. In general, it is a common phenomenon that modern and contemporary writers, as well as nationalist historians, pursued these literary narratives in the footsteps of national consciousness. Historical materials that can stimulate this national consciousness were used, and literary narratives were used to convey these historical materials more dramatically and vividly in literary works. It is a dramatic expression of historical narratives about characters and events in terms of the needs of the times, but it is problematic in terms of historical awareness.
