야담에서 공심의 생성과 정의

Abstract

Yadam represents the various ways in which justice is implemented by the intervention of public spirit and selfish mind. Yadam, therefore, can be classified into four distinctive types depending on the degrees of interaction between them. The first two types are those of stories dominated either by selfish mind or by public spirit and the latter types are those generated either by the conflict or harmony between the two. Transition from the stories of pure selfish mind to those where interaction between public spirit and selfish mind results in either conflict or harmony reflects the concrete examination of people's desire within the Yadam narrative. Furthermore, the emergence of Yadam stories of pure public spirit proves the difficulty of liberating "give-and-take" frame from the Yadam narrative and results from the people's experience of very unstable coexistence between the two. Due to Yadam's swift adoption of and sensitivity to the real people's experience of the time, Yadam was able to incorporate a wide variety of stories about people who pursued justice economically or legally, faster than any other literary genres.
