A Study on the Development of the Storytelling Contents based on the Exile Life and Literature Works of Man-Jung Kim

Abstract

This paper proposes how to develop storytelling contents for foster local culture industry based on the lifestyle and literature works of Man-Jung Kim, a great scholar in the late Joseon dynasty. He wrote various literary works such as classic novels, poetries, proses, and criticisms during his exile life. Storytelling content based on his work will play an important role in globalizing Korean contents. The development method of storytelling contents uses the basic elements: 'text + narration + champ' based on the champ theory. We will look at similar storytelling content development cases based on the exile literature in Korea and benchmark them to develop Kim's storytelling content development plans. Twelve experts participate to brainstorm for developing various new ideas of storytelling contents. It is important to approach Kim's work from a comprehensive and integrated perspective in order to develop valuable storytelling contents. Concludingly, to build local cultural assets, it is important to focus not only on the core values of Kim's works, but also in building a collaborative system among local governments, storytellers, cultural artists, tourists, and citizens.
