한국 초기서사의 복수(複數) 구도

Abstract

This study investigated that Korean early narrative flew along with four types, i.e. Short strange narrative, Buddhist Narrative of divine effect, Biography narrative (傳記), and Korean Romance Narrative (傳奇) in an independent aspect. The plural structure of Korean early narrative in Silla and Goryeo period so far has been discussed within the scope of Korean Romance(傳奇) history of novel. Mixture of such narrative types could be found in the representative work collections, i.e. Suyi-jeon(殊異傳) and Samgukyusa(三 國遺事), Samguksagi, etc. This research divide the characteristic of each narrative as follows. First, Short strange narrative is a narrative type that realized 'oddness or strangeness of character and event'. To see the tradition and historicity of oral tradition, it is determined to have been most widely prevalent. Second, Buddhist Narrative of divine effect is a type that consistently concentrate on the supernatural power of Buddhism. This focused on 'spiritual experience of character through miraculous event or human'. Third, Biography narrative mainly refer to the narrative of Yeoljeon(列傳) series, which is a type that 'highlighted a particular character's creed through unusual events'. Lastly, Korean Romance narrative is a type that deeply dig into the reality of individual character and discover 'a certain reality through a special event, accordingly, induce change of character along with it'. According to this division, the works that have been included in Korean Romance scope -Kimhyeongamho(金現 感虎), Josin(調信) etc. should belong to divine effect narrative. Therefore, initial Korean Romance Narrative could be only remarked with Choichiwon(崔致遠). Although, the point that other Korean Romance was created during that time could be presumed, there is a big possibility that the portion of Korean romance in early narrative was relatively sluggish. On the other hand, Buddhist Narrative of divine effect could be seen to have occupied mainstream of this period. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the point that these four narratives mutually interfered and mixed. A figure of Korean initial narrative could be more distinct through investigations of that kind of point in plural structure. Here, this research examined the possibility by Kimyusin(金庾信), because it frequently appeared in various narratives. A suggestion of plural structure of Korean initial narrative goes beyond the previous discussion that has paid attention to the transition from fable to novel, or viewed unilinear history of novel mainly with Korean Romance. This is a new attempt to explain properly the aspect and significance of Korean initial narrative. Henceforth, various and in-depth discussions on this suggestion could be continued.
