ABSTRACT

This article h as b een written for t he p urpose o f assertin g that creativity, a quality required for human beings, can be cultivated through the study and education of literature in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution and for examining and suggesting the proper methodology. Humans today are strongly influenced by a wide range of highly developed technological cultures. As technology develops, its scope and level of automation increase as well. Therefore, as the rate of using technology increases, the motility of sensations and thoughts generated when humans directly perform, and human creativity developed based on this, decreases. Moreover, the creativity required in a situation where many of the existing human ‘work’ are disappearing due to the technological development is driving the position of human beings into a difficult situation. Now, it is virtually impossible either to break away from technology that has already been linked to almost all parts of daily life, or to use it as if it were. This decrease in creativity also occurs in actual literature. Although language and literature still exist, the majority of literary activities in real life are made up of digital texts that are densely filled with highly precise and elegant audio-visual information such as movies, dramas, webtoons, and games. Therefore, the active and continuous operation of human senses and thoughts requested in literary activities on oral or written texts becomes a hindrance to the digital texts where they are highly automated. However, digital, the integration of all elements, is also a treasure trove of new possibilities and methods. Digital also can make up for what is lacking by selecting and reorganizing the elements necessary for the development of creativity. This paper has divided the literary activities that can promote creativity into three discussions. They do not only remain in accepting texts that are full of all elements as given, but show that human senses and thoughts can be actively employed through the reproductive action of adding and subtracting media sensation elements according to the purpose. Besides, because it is an activity that frequently crosses and converts the media, it is tied to a transmedia-based literary activity. And since the ideal is a process of conscious effort to promote development, it was again conceptualized as “transmedia-based literature study and education”.
