근대생활유산과 기억의 방식

Abstract

Seoul Station, built in 1925, has been closed as a railway station in 2004 and has been used as a cultural space since 2011. Cultural programs such as exhibitions and performances are being held here. However, the content of the exhibition and performance is far from the original function of the old Seoul station. Only the building was restored, and the context of the old Seoul station was lost in the operation of the program. Unlike the traditional cultural heritage, the modern heritage and modern life heritage are mostly connected to the present. People still live in the space of modern heritage and participate in its functions. It is not ended in the past, but it is still communicating with people of this age. Through this process, we discover the present value of modern heritage. In other words, new uses, meanings and values of this age are added to existing uses, meanings and values. In terms of memory, understanding and studying the modern heritage and preserving and utilizing it is a process of making historical memories (memories of past and history) meet current memories and creating future memories (historical memories+current memories). Based on this, there are four ways to memorize the modern heritage. ①Unification of memory=The case where historical memory, present memory, historical value and present value are harmonized. The original function of the modern heritage is being accomplished while maintaining the reality of the modern heritage. Gwangju Theater in Gwangju City, and Duksan Brewery in Jincheon, Chungbuk Province. ②Disruption of memory = The reality of the modern heritage remains, but the function is lost and the memory of the present is not realized. Sunggwang match in Euisung, Gyeongbuk Province is representative. ③Loss of Context = The original building or factory is preserved and retained its old function to some extent, but lost its original function. The Jinhae Post Office in Changwon, Gyeongnam Province is representative. ④Disruption of memory and loss of context = The situation of modern life is destroyed and the memory of the present does not progress. It can be said that only historical memories remain. Modern heritage meets historical memories and present memories to create memories of the future, but the process is not smooth. They sometimes conflict and collide and sometimes undergo a process of catering. What is important in the way of remembering modern heritage and passing it on to future generations is the unification of past and present. It means to maintain the current value and restore the context. Historical memory and present memory must meet endlessly. The modern heritage should continue as a traditional cultural heritage after many years. To do so, you must accumulate memories. The utilization of old Seoul station should be done from this viewpoint.
