제주 4･3을 기억하는 방법–제주 4･3평화기념관을 중심으로

Abstract

In this article we looked at names referring to 4･3 and looked at how the names remember 4･3. On the extension line, Jeju 4･3 Peace Memorial Hall, which is a representative place to memorize and memorialize 4･3, tried to examine how 4･3 are remembered. Jeju 4･3 Peace Memorial Hall tried to reveal the truth of 4･3 through the way of story telling. However, in the past, the way of memorizing 4･3 by ‘riot’ became the dominant discourse, and it was confirmed that various factors did not completely remove the state from the way of memorizing 4･3. The representative case was the discourse emphasizing ‘reconciliation and co-existence’. The way to memorize 4･3 as reconciliation and co-existence assumes the leap without consideration of the subject of reconciliation and the process of reconciliation. This forces the forgiveness of those who want to memorize 4･3, and it also results in keeping memories of 4･3 bound to the past, not to the present. This perception of 4･3 is seen as a typical aspect of the division narrative revealed in the division system. In the powerful structure of the division system, the victims of 4･3 can easily forget to identify the truth and achieve full identity. In the division system, it is safe to live without telling 4･3. However, in order to be remembered as a path to peace and reconciliation and peace, it is necessary to have a voice of ‘accusation’ and ‘sympathy’ that can overcome the division system. Therefore, it is necessary that current 4･3 does not have to be fixed to any one name. When many people memorize 4･3 in various ways, when various names and various voices coexist, it will be possible to dismantle the structure of division system.
