헤테로토피아적 장소에 나타난 문화적 기억과 작품연구 -미아리고개와 주변 공간을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the site, “Miarigogae” was excluded as a heterogeneous space in the past from the perspective of Michel Foucault’s heterotopia and to examine today’s meaning of the site and the change aspect of the collective memory on the site. To this end, the works of pure artists inspired by Miarigogae and the surrounding area were analyzed from the cultural memory point of view mentioned by Aleida Assmann. The main areas examined in this study were Miari Cemetery, Miari Astrological Village, and Art Space Meindo formed in the lower area of the Miari Overpass. The cultural memory that is being newly established nowadays through Miarigogae and the surrounding area was aroused based on the works aspired by the abovementioned areas and the works planned and exhibited in Meindo. In this regard, it can be seen that the various projects and works carried out in the surrounding space of Miarigogae as a bridge between the past and the present in that they provide diverse cultural memories to the public today. Through the analysis of the works, it was confirmed that Miarigogae, a heterotopic site, has been restored as an exuberant space and a variety of experimental ground, rather than as the otherized space. Consequently, this study is meaningful in that the importance of recording the memory of the sites being lost indifferently and the remembering work of the symbolic places through new media is emphasized. Therefore, this study will provide an opportunity for us to consider the places we live in and the value of our memories.
