ABSTRACT

This study was conducted as part of a search for local values. In order to study legend as local culture and promote the revitalization of the cultural industry, a specific methodology for local cultural research should be prepared. Therefore, this study selected a landmark folktales in Chungbuk province by utilizing photography semiotics “characteristics of index” and architectural engineering’s “landmark” theory in order to find a specific methodology for local literature research. Landmark folktales see local legends as landmarks that represent or distinguish a region and highlight text that contains regional characteristics. The landmark folktale is said to have five characteristics: visibility, uniqueness, characteristics of social value, characteristics of community and characteristics of cluster. At least one characteristic and up to all five can appear in a single text. At this time, it can be said that a landmark-folktale can represent the region only when the text’s landmark characteristics are clearly revealed. Visibility, uniqueness, and characteristics of social value are the primary requirements of landmark tales. Lastly, considering the characteristics of index and the landmark- folktale, based on the text Jeonseolji, which is a representative collection of legends in Chungbuk, a landmark-folktale representing each of Chungbuk province’s 11 cities and counties was selected and analyzed.
