日帝時代 京觀變化와 風水談論 = The Social Construction of Fengshui Landscapes and Discourses under the Japanese Colonialism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is an interpretive approach of spatial the colonial
andscape constructed on the various spatial scales(capital, city, town, village, and even physical environment, etc.) under the Japanese Colonialism in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. We can identify that such landscape as a signifying system has something to do with fengshui as a spatial discourse. So, I try to understand the features of fengshui discourse and some kinds of meaning of the colonial landscape. For these goals, above all, I have to explore the theoretical basis for interpreting landscape and retheorizing fengshui which has been treated the Korean traditional location as theory for that time.
When we study the landscape and place related to fengshui, we can not help being exposed to the possibility of focusing on the
mysterious and fundamental side of fengshui related to jigi which has been introduced to the West as the earth energy and the mysterious force. But I emphasized 'the social construction of fengshui discourses,' reflecting the social relation or power relation. Moreover it needed to be situated as a code for
constructing the landscape as a signifying system or a geographical text. Generally, the dominating power could make use of the physical landscape for 'naturalizing' the power relation through
constructing discourses(code) or narratives and landscapes(text). Especially, as such landscape could be easily experienced by
people whoever maintain the ordinary senses(like seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, etc.), its effect could be expected wider and more strategically than any other means.
From the perspective of the social construction of landscape
and fengshui discourse, I focused on the relation between the Japanese Imperialism as the dominating power and the Korean as the resistant power. Then I could identify a distinctive feature of fengshui discourse, classified into 'fengshui for resistance.' As Michel Foucault points out about power, the domination power itself
always contains the resistance against such domination in itself. After all, fengshui for resistance by the Korean could be just a sort of facing to the domination by the Japanese Imperialism.
By my case study on the village scale, I can also identify this kind of fengshui discourse. In this case, it must not be important whether villagers believed in the mysterious effect of fengshui landscapes or not, I think. In other words, we have to focus on the context that they wanted to show their will for resisting to the Japanese Imperialism through constructing their traditional landscapes and even the colonial landscapes as a signifying system with fengshui discourses. After all, I can identify the politics of landscape by villagers through the social construction of landscape and fengshui discourse under the Japanese Imperialism.

Key words: landscape, meaning, text-code, social construction, fengshui, power relation(social relation).
