ABSTRACT

For real celebrating the writer and achievements beyond perfunctory commemoration, it is necessary to stop idolizing certain writers and take a step further from the storytelling of the past, which only emphasized locality. That is why the spatial storytelling of existed literary houses needs to be discussed, focusing on the literature. Because of that reason, I analyze Park Kyung-ri and her novel ‘Toji’ literary house storytelling that is being celebrated in several places. ‘The House of Literature’ in Wonju’s Park Kyung-ri Literature Park shows successful achievements effectively in delivering a long novel to users by figurative visualization, selections, and summariza- tion in planning the storytelling of the novel ‘Toji,’ and providing unique esthetics experience of exhibition storytelling. However, it is difficult for users to stimulate interest in the writer and her works because the spatial storytelling to exhibit the writer’s life and keepsake ends up listing materials. Park Kyung-ri Literature House in Hadong has a variety and meaningful materials that only Hadong can have. However, it also has a problem to limit its effects because it has not explained the meaningful materials in general along with historical circumstances and conditions of the time. In the case of Hadong, it has the best condition for the spatial storytelling shown by the literature house’s external environment due to having the actual background of the novel ‘Toji,’ and the filming location of the drama ‘Toji.’ Lastly, in the case of Tongyeong’s Park Kyung-ri Memorial Hall, the difference from other literary houses is to introduce and exhibit Park Kyung-ri’s other works, including her representative work ‘Toji,’ because of aiming to highlight Tongyeong rather than other literary houses. In particular, the importance of “Daughters of Kim Yak-guk” becomes increasing for emphasizing the spatial storytelling of Tongyeong, and it causes the overall exhibition storytelling has become protruding and awkward. In my opinion, if the theme is limited to writers and Tongyeong, it could show a more effective spatial storytelling. What the literary house celebrates is the same as what it tells users about the writer and works. The planner should have professional knowledge of delivering the responses to users by focusing on the answers to those questions. That is why it needs a curator, has to have the theme, and directs the spatial storytelling flexibly by dividing permanent exhibition and special exhibition.
