다도해의 문화적 다양성과 사회문화적 네트워크

Abstract

Examining the researches on the insularity of the Archipelago, there are accounts that mention isolation and severance due to the history of exile and those that deal with openness because of the cases of marine heroes and international trade. In addition, there are those who focus on indigenousness by considering the region as an area where tradition remains in an obscure manner. In any case, there have been few studies which focus on the life of the residents. This study focuses on the network of everyday life, fishery activities, and trade activities led by the Archipelago residents. Network in everyday life can be observed in boats. Boats have been the means of transportation for the islanders to go to the mainland. In the Archipelago where numerous islands are scattered around, the boat zones have been organized according to waters. Especially, the costal islands are organically connected to the neighboring islands and mainland ports. Boat zones show that the islands in the Archipelago are not isolated but closely connected. There are various networks established in the Archipelago with the fishery activities at the core. External network has operated continuously and systematically through expedition fishery. Those activities can be tracked in the <Wondangjungsugi> of Uido Daeri which recorded the participation in the construction of temples by the commercial ships from outside which came to Uido for shipboard markets and the fishermen. As shown in the donation from figures from different regions for the reconstruction of town temple, networks with the fishery activities as the vehicle have been very active. Trade activities in the Archipelago have a close relationship with production activity. There was a trade network with fishery and the salt industry as the vehicle,and the islands and neighboring ports were well-connected. In the case of a large trade activity, nationwide network has operated. The actual situation of the trade network can be learned through documents which showed regular donation to the town Dangje by the external investors, commercial ships, and fishing boats.
