ABSTRACT

Since the 1960s, entertainment and the contents of entertainment have been expanding in women' travel gasa. By the way, the women 's travel gasa in the 1950s provides an inflection point for this change. In this paper, focusing on <Yuramgi> which traveled to Haein temple in Gaya mountain in 1959, I analyzed how the beginning of the time that “enjoying” became important in the trip. The writer of the work <Yuramgi> expressed this trip as a picnic and reflected the character of the trip was settled into the leisure of everyday life that was able to leave with a light heart. While recreating the scenery and historic sites of the tourist resort of Kaya Mountain Haeinsa, the recreation of entertainment and events is prominent. Especially, it expresses emotions of conflict by dealing specifically with the emotional transition of 'I' through the description of casual events and entertainment. In 1950 's women' s travel gasa, new 'pungjeong' is highlighted along with 'pungryu' which was the traditional culture style. The pungjeong has significance as an active self-expression act of fascination and play. Now, the pursuit of pleasure reveals that it is fun to play well, which is in harmony with the consciousness to get rid of the weight of norms and to enjoy the emancipation. Along with this, my vision is becoming foreground. From the manifestations of conflicts and complaints that have been silent to subjective evaluations, I try to reveal my inner self in relation to myself. This reflects the awareness that my own enjoyment is important in travel.
