설화 <여우구슬>을 활용한 문학치료적 글쓰기의 자기성찰 양상과 글쓰기 교육

Abstract

This paper is aimed to propose a literary therapeutic method as a writing technique for self reflection and examine the self-reflection pattern through an actual case. The actual case is the result of a literary arts class in ___University in Seoul. ‘The Bead of Fox’ has been chosen because it covers the universality of folk tale and college students’ sex and love. The literary therapy for self reflection is performed in order as follows. The first phase is ‘Meeting between Epic of Literary Work and Epic of Self.’ In this phase, ‘writing and listening to literary work’ and ‘sensual activities’ are performed. The second phase is ‘Exposure and Awareness of Epic of Self.’ In this phase, ‘subsequent writing’ and ‘analytical writing’ are done. The third phase is ‘Correction and Adjustment of Epic of Self.’ In this phase, ‘analytical writing through feedback’ and ‘correction and adjustment of subsequent writing’ are conducted. The content characteristics of subsequent writing and self- reflection pattern through ‘the Bead of Fox’ can be divided into four categories as follows: First, happy ending is written for children- teacher relationship. It is related with a tendency to take care of the maters associated with the opposite sex through an adult such as parents. Second, sad ending is written for children-teach relationship. This case is related with a big concern about a future life because of a fear on the opposite sex. Third, happy ending is written for children-virgin relationship. This case reveals a positive thinking on trust and relationship with the opposite sex. Fourth, sad ending is written for children-virgin relationship. This case is related with the destruction of relationship by frequent intervention by adults such as parents even though there is a positive feeling for the opposite sex.
