『수호전』 양산박의 생성과 소멸의 공간적 의미 - 헤테로토피아(Heterotopia)적 특성을 중심으로

Abstract

This study started from the point that the ideal society described in Shuihuzhuan(水滸傳). differs from the concept of ‘Utopia’, The space where Liangshan heroes tried to realize their ideals, Liangshanpo(梁山泊) resembles ‘Heterotopia’. it was a space of an ideal society that exists in reality. Paying attention to this point, I tried to approach the thematic consciousness of Shuihuzhuan by analyzing the spatial characteristics of Liangshanpo as a heterotopia. Liangshanpo is a heterotopia space that exists in the real world, but exists as a counter space, which is absolutely different from other real spaces. The creation and extinction of Liangshanpo shows the principle of heterotopia. In order to grasp the various meanings implied in Shuihuzhuan, it seems necessary to approach through various perspectives. Analyzing the implications of the place through what kind of ‘space’ the ideal world pursued in the work constitutes and how this ‘space’ is constructed in the real world is a perspective to grasp the essence of the work. The perception of the ‘space’ called Liangshanpo has created a perspective in understanding Shuihuzhuan.
