사건의 개념과 갈래(2) -스토리 층위를 중심으로 = Concept and Classification of the Events (2)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper portrays analytical concepts and methodological classifications necessary in the study of event which is one of the fundamental elements of narrative embedded at the various levels of story so as to provide an interpretive method and a conceptual tool by clarifying narrative structures of signification. Focusing on the fact that the event could be equated with transformation and its effect weaving concrete form and abstract meaning of the narrative, this paper has posited that there are not yet proper concepts for an interpretation of event that could de-knot the complex processual abstraction arising from meaning-producing and stratified structures of the given story.
The event is classified according to internal function and experiential uniqueness of the text. The event is divided into the kernel and the satellite according to the degree of functional importance that unfolds the horizontat sequence of the story. On the contrary, the event is divided into the dominant and the dependent according to the vertical sequence of the story, that is, the upper and the lower structures of meaning nexus of the story. The event also constitutes the foreshadowing and the foreshadowed according to the relations of the adumbrating and the adumbrated that belong to the same plane of the sequence.
The classification to the degree of experiential uniqueness follows ultimately the fundamental categories or modalities of human experience. This classification pays special attention to the clear concretization of the traditionally existed in such a way as to produce four types of event: the internal and the external, and the realistic and the fantastic. Using Seymour Chatman，여 concept this paper divides the events into the active and the passive according to whether a character becomes the subject or the object of the narrative. On the basis of the concept of dominant event, this paper contributes to opening up a new space for past and present events.
