AB - This study views literary museums as structural devices that construct meanings and collective memories of specific authors and literary works through the strategic arrangement and opposition of exhibition signs. Focusing on the Yi Yuksa Literary Museum, it analyzes this mechanism using Tony Bennett’s concept of the exhibitionary complex, Lévi-Strauss’s binary oppositions, and Assmann’s theory of cultural memory. The findings show that the museum foregrounds the identity of Yi Yuksa as a “national poet” and “independence activist” through oppositional sign systems grounded in locality, ideology, spatial composition, and exhibition techniques. A similar pattern is observed in the Jihoon Literary Museum and the Yun Dong-ju Literary Museum, both of which reproduce particular memories and meanings through the oppositions embedded in regional context and exhibited materials.
In this sense, literary museums operate as exhibitionary complexes that organize memory and discipline specific identities through the arrangement and interplay of exhibition signs. Accordingly, this study moves beyond the traditional focus on management and policy in literary-museum research, and instead proposes a new structural and semiotic analytical framework by elucidating the mechanisms through which exhibitions generate meaning.
