최정희 초기 소설에 나타난 ‘서울’ 스토리텔링 양상과 의미

Abstract

Seoul is a place where scholars are constantly interested in the colonization of the colonial city of Gyeongseong, with its space and space continuity. The meaning of literary studies with the place of Seoul as a place of Japanese colonization has meaning such as the meaning of place memory, the strength of religion of the Korean people, and so on. Choi Jeong-Hee is a representative writer of Korean literature who deals with the family, life problems, contemplative life of the old age and the philosophy of death through the strength of Japanese rule and division. For Choi, Seoul was a special place. In this article, I tried to identify the location of the artist in Seoul through the aspect of Seoul Storytelling in Choi Jeong - Hee's early novels. Seoul has been a special place for non-Seoul female writers, in the context of sexual discrimination and symbolic violence against women. The impression of a strange place, a scary place, a dark place dominated rather than a stable and resting depiction. Seoul, which appeared in Choi's novels in the 1930s and 1940s, was different from the previous female writers. First, Seoul is portrayed as a longing place. Second, Seoul is portrayed as a place where diversity is captured and settled. Third, it depicts a sense of place for every corner of Seoul. Fourth, it depicts specifically Seoul as a space for walking or moving. The placeness of Seoul in the Choi Jeong-Hee's early novels is more concrete and realistic than the previous female writers.
