ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to examine various historical and cultural resources scattered in Jung-gu, Seoul, and to explore the possibility of linking them to the urban retro project. The Jung-gu district of Seoul has been one of Seoul's key original cities since the Joseon Dynasty. As a result, various cultural heritages from the Joseon Dynasty, modern cultural heritages made in Japanese colonial era, and accumulated from the 1950s to the present remain throughout the city. Cultural heritages in these areas are only interested in cities, architecture, and tourism, but are rarely utilized in the field of humanities. Recognizing these problems, the article examined the potential of the "urban retro humanities project" in the Jung-gu district as one of its alternatives. The urban retro project refers to a series of interdisciplinary studies that excavate various tangible and intangible cultural heritages that exist in the region and shed light on them from various humanistic perspectives such as philosophy, ideology, literature and culture. What is noted in this article is retro. Recently, interest in retro and related research have been actively carried out around the world. In line with this trend and trend of the times, this study suggested several ways to link historical and cultural resources in the Jung-gu area and apply them.
