This study focus on suggesting a way of studying literature that can be a
cultural and emotional foundation for strengthening the exchanges between
Korea and Turkey through the foundation of empathy called 'story'. Korea and
Turkey refer to each other as "Brother Country". Beside Turkey's
friendly perception about Korea, it is unbalanced in Korea. If this
unilateral friendship continues, it will be impossible to know how long
Turkey's favor will continue about Korea. As a literary researcher, we have
been working on a study to promote mutual understanding between two
countries, to strengthen the level of academic exchanges and to create an
emotional empathy base. The most relevant purpose of this research is the 'story' of both countries.
The story makes to connote the universal answers to the human life and to
access answers easily. In addition, the narrative leads to empathy for a
deeper level than the words of logical persuasion, and to a change of life. In this study, we will try compare "the fool stories" which can
be accessed easily among the stories that have been handed down throughout
Korea and Turkey for a long time. So we can deeply understand the emotional
prototypes of the two countries and strengthen the foundation of empathy.
Especially <Three-foot rope> of
Korea and <Keloğlan Stories> of
Turkey overturns human perception of 'abnormal man' and 'stupid man' in
depth. Thereby questions raise what "true humanity" is. Therefore,
it will be the best way to examine the folktale awareness of the humanity by
the fool stories of two countries. In addition, this study will be a good opportunity to introduce
methodology of Korean literature on Turkey. In addition to strong oral
literary traditions, Turkey has a strong oral transmission culture about
traditional stories. There is a high reliance on recorded stories in the
literature. But there is no interest in establishing a foundation for the
study of oral literature by oral literary materials. The stories of oral
tradition become a key discriminating qualification of the meaning of the
variation that occurs in the process of tradition. So we can say the
accumulation of original data will be base of literature studies through
field research. This study, which will be used as a basic data of comparative analysis
and accumulating the oral source data by the actual lecturer through the
field research on <Keloğlan Stories>, will be an opportunity to inform
the Turkish literature writers about the systematic field research methodology
of Korea and its necessity and utility. This study will be an opportunity for
the globalization of Korean Studies in a methodological way that spreads the
research methodology of Korea and promotes mutual exchange between the
researchers of both countries, in addition to the original purpose of
building emotional consensus of the two countries through story research. |
