「奈城誌」의 공간과 기억의 재구성

Abstract

This study examines the writer's creation intent by surveying concretely layers of memory called in the place of the literary work <Naeseongji>, 'Naeseong'.(now called 'Yeongwol') As 'Naeseong' was 'the place of memory' calling the events like 'Kyeyujeongran', 'Danjong Restoration' which had been trauma in the thinking system of noblemen(called "YangBan") in Chosun dynasty, the writer talked 'the memory of that time' with Danjong and his royal retainers. The most important point of the story presented in the dream space of <Naeseongji> was who has qualification to attend the party where Danjong and his six royal retainers, and Geonmunje and his twelve royal retainers attended. <Naeseongji> is the records who are royal subjects and why they are royal subjects. In the process of narration, the writer called the suppressed or excluded memories, or individual memories different from collective memories, and reconstituted those memories. Of the reconstituted memories in <Naeseongji>, there were revaluations for the people not to achieve recognition their loyalty, criticisms about an exaggerated subjects by nation and writer's typology about so-called 'Saengyuksin'. Also the writer revaluated the various people, recorded their name and treated them as royal subjects. In that sense, <Naeseongji> had property of the 'resist memory' against 'official memory'. The memories called and reconstituted by the writer were activated more and more by confronting with official memories and collective memories. It is remarkable that the space is helpful to activate the memories. Now, the space in front of writer is not the official space that the official memory dominated, but the space reconstituted by individual memory. The writer wrote the dream work(so-called Mongyurok) to create the space to be able to hold the reconstituted meaning. In that sense, the symbol like 'Jangreung Baesikdan' may be the realization form that, memory descriptions that were set in Naeseong, were expanded and stabilized.
