壬辰倭亂 포로 기억의 敍事化와 그 意味

초록

One of the memoirs in Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 is the prisoner. The records of prisoners of war, based on the memoirs of prisoner experience, has included the writings like providing detailed information on Japanese reign with their records to avoid criticism that they lost the chastity as becoming a prisoner. The most scared point of them was the criticism of being surrenderer than hardships of prisoner life, and overcome of the matter was the priority. It contains the voices that they have not lost the chastity in informing every single difficult life style of them through the prisoner practice. “Choicheokjeon” and “Namyunjeon” are the novels subject to the memoirs of prisoners. The focusing element in “Choicheokjeon” is the safe return of Okyoung, the main female character, who was captured as prisoner. Okyoung faced several about-to-death situations if she was in the story of virtuous woman, however she does not die and meet her family in the end. “Choicheokjeon” shows well of the view of commoners on people who came alive from the war, or people who experienced the incident understand their lives rather than leading them to death. The period when “Namyunjeon” is written is the 19th century, when the memories of Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 are almost erased, so the memoirs of prisoners would remain as an old story. Because of this, the memoirs of prisonershave moved to reality of the time when compensation on life or become prisoners rather than their unfortunate lives. This is why the criticism on the reality was possible. Moreover, unfortunate lives of prisoners, which is apart from the memories, became an interesting event instead, and was used as a subject together with the popularity of the novel literature.
