ABSTRACT

This paper studies the literature sociology of anonymity and Individuation through the narratives that existed in the late Joseon Dynasty, such as Folk tales, Short novels in Chinese letters[Yadam], Fictions, and Pansori. In Folk tales, the narrator, who is a mediator of story telling, has personality, while characters and backgrounds of narrative contents are generally anonymous. This is because the narrator had to stand in front of the audience due to the Presentation method of Folk tale called telling. As a result, the details of the character and the background are changed according to the talent and enthusiasm of the narrator. In Short novels in chinese writing, the writer usually said that he is simply a recorder. But he could not be free from the fun of projecting his own situation and making up his story. The double attitude of this writer was reflected in the character of the work, and in the case of The woman with the sword[Geomnyeo], the anonymity of the main character and the personality of the side character were created. The novelist wrote a work using letters in a space separate from the reader. This makes the novel feel more realistic in character and background than in Folk tales. This is called reinforcement of credibility and probability, and the character has his own name, position and personality. However, the character's personality has a certain limit due to the anonymity of the writer and the popularity of the market, and it has not reached the Individuation of the character, which is the realization of personality in the true sense. In Pansori, it is necessary to pay attention to the professional performer Pansori clown. They are the successors of the entire work and the creator of the ‘Deoneum’. In addition, they are professional artists who must constantly reconsider their product value by performing their work in front of the audience in their own name. Nevertheless, unlike modern fiction writers, they rarely have to take full responsibility for the whole work, and this has become the basis on which they can freely interact with the audience and create more individualized characters. The development of Modern novel is mostly related to the birth of the writer. Modern novels without a writer's consciousness are no better than Folk tales or Yadam. On the other hand, the author's authority can make the reader passive. When passive readers and marketplace unity combine, novels are forced to become popular. Therefore, the way of Modern novel now will be to overcome the anonymity of the reader while preserving the writer's consciousness.
