음식의 문학적 재현을 중심으로 한 문화론적 시각의 소설교육 연구 -6･25 전쟁 체험 소설에 나타난 감정구조를 중심으로-(1)

초록

This study set out to examine the narratives of life that developed around food motifs or “literary reproductions of food” in modern Korean novels in the viewpoint of cultural studies as well as the structure of feeling. It thus aimed to understand how the structure of feeling during a certain period as a junction would be combined with daily materials and what kind of effect it would have on the development of a novel, propose the practical possibilities of novel education in the viewpoint of cultural studies, and contribute to the facilitation of learners’ literary life as readers of novels. In the history of modern novels, food has been becoming a subject matter involved in the embodiment of a topic beyond a simple material, which is because food shares the same history as mankind, is in the most materialistic form directly connected to human survival, and has increased in symbolism. Based on the notion “structure of feeling” by Williams, the present study examined the structure of feeling among those who experienced the Korean War according to the social class, age, and gender mainly around the growth subjects of boys and girls and female intellectuals. The embodiment of their life and growth was examined from the perspective of the literary reproduction of food as they underwent the war. Given the nation’s historical situation in which the Korean War is not over yet, learners will find educational significance in their experiences with the period via novels. The study examined the literary perceptions of the Korean War based on relations between feeling and food. As for female intellectuals, Park Kyung-ni revealed hate against women with romantic characteristics in her The Market and the War Field published in the 1960s. In her autobiographic works A Thirsty Season and Was the Mountain Really There? published in the 1990s, she depicted women in whom shame was the dominant feeling as a testimonial subject. The author conveyed the situations and feelings of female intellectuals vividly via food. The growth subjects of boys and girls appeared in later-talked novels in the 1980s. In Lee Dong-ha’s A Toy City, Kim Ju-yeong’s A Fisher Never Breaks a Reed, and Kim Won-il’s A House with a Deep Yard, boys’ physical and emotional hunger was accompanied by the feelings of fear and humiliation. The Yard of Childhood by O Jeong-hee depicted the gender consciousness, compassion, and shame of girls.
