ABSTRACT

The thesis aims at focusing on a specific area, that is, ‘Historical Memories’ which the Korean movies in 1990s had generated by interests in cultural and political aspects of spectacle images reproduced within movies. The point of the thesis observation is that the spactacle filmic images from historical memories, which has originated from the 1990s cultural phenomenas with consciousness of denial and refusal from 1980s could be glanced, incorporating a sense of cultural and political ideology phenomenon. The similarity which may be discovered among the spectacle images produced from historical events in Korean movies in 1990s is that both ‘fear’ and ‘sympathy’ are being acrively cited. While all the movies in 1990s reproduce historical events, they emit the emotions of fear and sympathy in a form of spectacle image.The real scence of the Pre-democracy Movement that reminds of warfares and labors resembling the severity of wars is a place where a state of excessive emotion such as fear for ‘death’ and ‘sympathy’ for ‘life’ and ‘victims’ becomes effecrivly enabled together. However, such two different emotions play a role to approach to and prevent a way to historical evemts by the public. Meanwhile, what people encounter in their previous memories, which may be reprodiced in a form of a movie, are the historical events that has been seized by madness. Through this, the public in the 1990s approached the present life in the contradictory feeling of historical events and turned off the truth of historical events. In the end, the cultural discourse of the post-Cold War era was only about consuming superficial freedom and diversity. In fact, within the spectacle images from reproduced movies, breaking the irrational, non-standard and abnormal boundaries away and remembering the key of an event, there are some authoritative power and an ideological orientation hidden to establish a certain subject or humanity that is not historical.
