Abstract

This paper explores the appropriation of traditional form which is showed in Hwang, Seok-Young’s novels - 『A Guest』(2001), 『Shim Chung』(2003) and 『Baridegi』(2007). These novels are not only an echo of Korean traditional descriptive forms like ‘Jinjinogui-Gut in Hwanghae-Do’(Korean traditional exorcism in Hwanghae province), traditional novel ‘Shim Chung Jun’(Story of Shim Chung) and descriptive myth ‘Baridegi’ but also reveal the substantial questions of Korea, East Asia furthermore the whole Earth. It could be explained as a motif for new descriptive model with graft traditional form into current realities. 『A Guest』 is a dissolvent revenge exorcism to overcome some hurts which were appeared with the acceptance of distorted Western culture(Guest) that was appeared the Christian religion and Marxism, metaphorically. 『Shim Chung』 is a descriptive requiem to console a lot of Shim Chung who had taken much burdens in recent times social changes in East Asia. And, 『Baridegi』 is a modern type shamanistic song to Diaspora who wander in 21th Dystopia. These three novel’s style borrows the traditional plays forms for solace the poor souls who lived in trouble in live world. The poor souls who taken comfort from Hwang have a common feature - victims in Western centered modern society. Hwang uses the traditional plays forms to solve the grudge and to present the reconciliation and coexistence between Western and Traditional cultures. This paper premises that the appropriation of traditional form and reconstruction as modern type is a critical method to correspond with the modern Korean Literature process which was blocked the traditional Korean style and following the Western style. Focused on the appropriation of traditional form in Hwang’s novel, based on the proposition, new Korean Literature’s style is explored beyond the boundary of a nation-state.
