ABSTRACT
Nodeulseom in Seoul has evolved from a natural geographic feature to a cultural landscape for a century. This article nonetheless does not aim to offer a Sauerian account about the cultural landscape. Instead, it distantiates from the Berkeley School tradition in order to unveil the island’s hidden landscape history. To do so, this article examines and deconstructs the official geohistorical narrative of Nodeulseom that Seoul Metropolitan Government offers, and finds out its association with planning, design, and architectural professionals, whose accounts are centered solely on artificial structures. On the other hand, they neglect the history of Nodeulseom inhabitants. Thus, shifting away from such a ‘situated knowledge’ and calling for a more grounded approach centered on inhabitants, this article also develops a set of alternative geohistorical narratives attentive to displaced working class villages, scenes behind place of attraction, and squatter settlement conditions. These narratives help to understand the presence of ordinary people at Nodeulseom and the actual reason for their displacement during the colonial era and the geohistory’s continued effects in the subsequent postcolonial condition. In conclusion, Nodeulseom is discussed as a postcolonial landscape that bears both colonial legacy and its postcolonial reinvention.
