팔오헌 김성구의 제주 경험에 대한 문학 창작과 그 의미

Abstract

This study aims to examine how Kim Seong-gu (1641-1707) experienced while living in Jeju led to the creation of literary works. Currently, Jeju Island is in the spotlight as a tourist and resort, but it had a completely different image during the Joseon Dynasty. It had a negative image due to its geographical isolation surrounded by the sea on all sides.
 Most of the current Chinese poetry works in Kim Seong-gu's anthology were built when he served as Jeongui-hyeon governor(旌義縣監). In addition, he left not only poetry works, but also a prose work called ｢Namcheonrok(南槎錄)｣ which records the experiences of this period in the form of a diary. ｢Namcheonrok(南槎錄)｣ is a record from March 12, 1679, to January 16, 1682, recording the process of being demoted to Jeongui-hyeon, the schedule after his appointment, and the process of returning to Bonghwa. As such, from the quantitative aspect of the work, it can be seen that the works of this period occupied the majority. From this, it can be seen that for Kim Seong-gu, the Jeju experience had a profound influence on his life and the creation of literary works.
 As a result of examining through specific works, Kim Seong-gu constantly revealed his frustration with his situation of living in Jeju, while dreaming about impossible situations in reality and recording them in detail. He also expressed interest in Jeju's heterogeneous natural environment and culture, which are different from land.
 As such, Kim Seong-gu's creation of his Jeju experience as a literary work can be seen as an expression of his creation and record spirit, as well as an attempt to fully examine his own experience and time.
