Abstract

The Journal of Korean Drama and Theatre published by the Learned Society of Korean Drama and Theatre is the most representative journal for research on Korean television dramas as a kind of drama act. The number of theses that have been gathered by a total of 75 journal series is as many as 615, which have been issued until 2020, since 1991 when it was launched. Of them, the theses on television dramas began to be initially published by the 21th series issued in 2005, and then 76 theses investigated by 35 researchers are currently published. The scenes beyond/post sheet, which appear in television dramas as image literature, become main texts, due to the genre characteristics. Lines and scenes in screens are naturally mobilized for any quotations. The current research on television dramas, however, do not give any academic guidelines regarding the quotation of lines and scenes. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide a direction of examining the current conditions of the lines and scenes quoted by research on television dramas based on 76 theses gathered in The Journal of Korean Drama and Theatre and helping both the society and the journal improve them. The measure may be largely specified as five proposals. The key point of them lies in the essence of the quotation properly certified by research, in other words, the practice of it, which make it possible to realize scholarly conversations with academic value.
