소설의 문화원형콘텐츠화 방안-최명희의 『혼불』을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to present a plan to use the novel, Honbul, as the creative source of culture prototype contents. Recently, the development of the digital technology have made the opportunity of converting a novel in writing into various culture contents - film, comic, game, music, animation, character, broadcast, industrial arts, copyright, design, fashion, edutainment, internet mobile- easily. In order to meet the contemporary need, this study proposes the way to construct culture prototype contents using a novel in order to produce various culture contents and expects the effect of this one-source-multi-use. The meaning of Culture contents is the commercialization of culture by laying a creative plan for making tangible, intangible cultural elements into economically valuable things and by producing them on a commercial scale. The sources of culture contents vary from tangible materials such as cultural properties, pictures, antiques, buildings and articles for daily use to intangible things like myths, legendary literature, unofficial historical stories, documents, tales and life styles. This study proposes 3 steps to construct culture prototype contents in order to maximize the utility value of the novel Honbul as the culture content. First step is to use the ethnographic reading method the purpose of which is to extract Falk materials melted in the characters, events, affairs and historic backgrounds in the novel and to systemize them. Second step is to synopsize and itemize the extracted Falk materials. Third is to construct the itemized portfolios and to make it into the itemized storytelling. In conclusion, such work has a meaning of developing new paradigm on novel reading through dis-organazation and re-organization and, at the same time, of remodelling Korean culture.
