Abstract

본 연구는 근대적 인식체계(episteme)로서 ‘보는 눈’에 주목하고, 일제가 식민지 조선에서 영어와 일어로 병기하여 제작한 금강산사진첩을 대상으로 금강산 경관을 ‘보는 방식’을 살펴본다. 일영(日英) 금강산사진첩은 금강산 경관이 선택 및 구성되고 이미지로 틀지워진 결과물이다. 관광진흥의 목적으로 제작된 일영 금강산사진첩은 금강산의 다양한 경관이 선택되고 배열 및 구성되어 관광객에게 방문해야 할 곳과 루트 등을 제시한다. 또한 촬영자와 편집자의 ‘경관의 틀짓기’ 과정을 통해 금강산 경관에 심미화, 문명화의 장, 지리적 정복(계몽) 등의 시선이 더해졌다. 특히, 금강산 파노라마 사진은 사진가의 시선이 더 높은 곳에서 금강산을 넘어 더 넓은 세계를 지향하고자 했는지 보여준다. 본 연구에서는 일영 금강산사진첩의 경관과 시선의 정치의 상호과정을 살펴봄으로써, 사진첩이 금강산을 식민지 조선이나 일본 제국을 넘어 ‘세계적 명산’으로 위치짓는 시선을 체현했으며, 또한 어떻게 금강산 경관의 틀짓기 기준으로 기능했는지를 조명한다.This study examines “a way of seeing” presented in a series of photo albums of Mt. Geumgang with a focus on the “tourist gaze” as the modern episteme of the Japanese empire. The Japanese-English photo albums of Mt. Geumgang demonstrate how the landscapes of Mt. Geumgang were selected, arranged and framed. Compiled for tourism purposes, the photo albums presented “standards” for where and how to visit with a variety of scenic views. In the process of “framing the landscape,” the dimensions of aestheticization, a place of civilization, and geographical conquest(enlightenment) were added to Mt. Geumgang through the gaze of photographers and editors of the photo albums. Specifically, panoramic pictures of Mt. Geumgang show how the gaze of photographers sought a wider view from a higher point and attempted to expand a vision of Mt. Geumgang. By examining the interplay between the landscape and the gaze politics of photo albums, this study illustrates how the photo albums functioned as a standard for framing the landscape of Mt. Geumgang in relation to the “expansion” of the Japanese empire, as well as an optic through which Mt. Geumgang was represented as a ‘world famous mountain’ beyond the colonial Korea or the Japanese empire.
