영화에서 계단의 조형성을 통한 사회 계급연구

Abstract

Space has two kinds: physical space and epistemic space. We can say that the city of a capitalistic society is characterized by the space division of bisecting the forms of power. French philosopher Michel de Certeau explains ‘place’ and ‘space’ as different terms. He says that ‘place’ is the order system existing prior to everyday practice and has a ‘map’-like objective meaning whereas ‘space’ is the form that the place is converted into through everyday practice and what is appropriated by the subject in diverse ways just like a ‘tour'. Although before urban modernization, the form of residential space employed the horizontal structure as its major spatial composition centering around the space of Anbang (the main room), the cities of the 1960’s started to build the complex forms of vertical space such as buildings in the outside space and stories in the inside space. The auteuristic directors of the time used the space of the complex grid form with verticality and horizontality and projected desire for class and power into their works through diverse experiments based on the image that the space had. Under the capitalistic modernization as well as patriarchy they should accept unavoidably, women were bound to have the lower class regardless of their intention. The auteuristic directors like Kim Gi-young or Lee Man-hee who worked actively in the 1960’s did experiments on the story of the social class through the composition of space with the objet of stairs symbolizing the system of class and power present in human lives though unseen.
