제주 4·3 ‘잃어버린 마을’의 장소기억 보전 방안

Abstract

This study delves into the socio-spatial transformations induced by the 4·3 Uprising on Jeju Island, illuminating the memory landscapes of the Jeju 4·3 ‘Lost Villages’ as a testament to the fragmented relations of place memories. In doing so, this research aims to posit that the ‘Lost Villages’ have the potential to serve as sites of counter-memories in response to the 4·3 Uprising. Initially, the ‘Lost Villages’ were categorized into four distinct typologies based on the presence of memory landscapes: place memory evocation type, reenactment type, embedded type, and disconnected type. Subsequently, Donggwang-ri of Seogwipo-si, and Donam-dong and Wahul-ri of Jeju-si were examined as representative case areas for each typology. To ensure the preservation and transmission of alternative place memories within the memory landscapes of the ‘Lost Villages,’ it is imperative to establish a direct spatiotemporal connection with the 4·3 place memories, recognize the physical presence of the landscape, and acknowledge the inherent plurality within these landscapes. The urgency to preserve the trace landscapes of the ‘Lost Villages’ arises from the recognition that the act of remembering these communities is an endeavor to encapsulate in collective memories the places symbolic of lives and experiences that have been excluded from the dominant societal memory.
