ABSTRACT

Joen Hye-Lin wrote mainly essay based on the experience while studying in Germany and translated German literary works. But in spite of her career as a writer, she was excluded from the korean literary society, rather than her abnormal biography as intellectual woman has mythologized and gotten enjoyable public taste and popularity. In this article, with the support of performance dramaturgy, I examined how Joen Hye-Lin's experience of Germany was accepted to the korean public through her travel piece published in 60s and has gotten the public popularity with the concepts of persona and liminality. As a writing, travel piece can be written based on the writer's experience caused anything perceived. As a performer performs something fictive as realistic in the performance, the writer of travel piece presents her(or his) experience of unknown space in the text which is not a real space represented but a presented space. That is, simultaneously and circularly, the writer of travel piece is not an audience(seeing) but also a performer(seen) presented her(or his) experience of unknown space to the other space. From this point of view, I can analyze the Joen Hye-Lin's travel piece as the performance, which is consisted of a performative process.
