Winter’s Literary Journey

공연 소개

Introduction The 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang is the first Winter Olympiad hosted by the Republic of Korea. To commemorate the historic occasion, the National Hangeul Museum presents this special exhibition, “Winter’s Literary Journey.” It introduces 454 works of literature set in winter from all of the Winter Olympic host countries, from France, the first venue in 1924, to China which will host the 24th Winter Olympics in 2022. The exhibition thus follows the historical journey of the Winter Olympics, starting from European nations, then to North America and onward to China, Japan and Korea in East Asia, exploring the realities of life and sentiments of people in each country as depicted or described in their winter-framed literature. Part One, “Winter Pilgrimages,” features winter poems and novels from the 13 Winter Olympic host countries. Ten languages are represented, providing an opportunity to glimpse the unique emotions and sensibilities expressed in their representative works of literature. Part Two, “Winter Encounters,” is devoted to the great children’s classics from around the world and Korean children’s literature, offering a glimpse of the innocent world of children as pure as snow. Winter says farewell to a year and ushers in the next year. It is as harsh as a blizzard, but is also as clean and pure as the first snowfall. It is a cold and bitter season for some people, but also recalls warm memories in the minds of others. Coldness and warmth coexist in winter, a season of contrasting emotions and memories, of light and darkness. Now, let us start our journey to experience the diverse sensibilities and values inspired by winter through winter literature from around the world. Composition PART ONE Winter Pilgrimages On a snowy winter day, in a spotless white snowfield, Along the fantastic routes created by winter in literary works,An exciting journey begins to meet with poems and novels from 13 nations. Winter in Europe, where the snow-covered Alps create breathtaking scenery, offers time for introspection. Winter in Northern Europe, blessed by the awe-inspiring spectacles of aurora, embraces both incandescence and murk, and ardor and dispassion. Winter in Eastern Europe, cutting through vast fields, leads to a mysterious world of imagination. Winter in North America, with the Rocky Mountains forming its spine, conjures up the love of family. Winter in East Asia, familiar to us Koreans, is cold and tough but harbors hope for spring that is returning. Thus, winter literature of different countries enriches us with varied imagery and sensibilities. photo Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Photo 6 Photo 7 Photo 8 Photo 9 Photo 10 Photo 11 PART TWO Winter Encounters Children play outside without minding cold weather. They get more excited in the cold winter. Winter literature for children is as pure as snow and as clear as ice. It sometimes depicts hardship and adversity, but like clear footsteps in snow, it envisions a bright future. This part introduces winter stories for children that are beloved around the world along with Korean children’s winter literature. They include the world classics written by Brothers Grimm (Jacob Grimm, 1785–1863; Wilhelm Grimm, 1786–1859) from Germany, Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) from Denmark, and Carlo Collodi (1826–1890) from Italy, as well as winter poems for children written by famous Korean poet Yun Dong-ju, “Snow” and “Dog,” and a Korean children’s song, “Little Snowman” by Kang So-cheon (1915-1963). “Rolling Snowballs” written by famous Korean children’s author Yun Seok-jung (1911–2003) is among the songs that transport us back to the innocent world of childhood. It goes: “Make a snowball and roll it up. Everyone, come out and roll it up. And let’s do a lap around the globe.” Winter Stories for Children“You’ll get frozen hard, please come into my coat”The winter world in children’s stories abounds in dreams and hopes. Their characters encounter hardship and adversity but overcome them wisely and smartly to meet the warm spring; the world they live in is depicted as being full of mystery, adventure and fantasy. In the world-famous fairy tale “The Snow Queen,” written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), Gerda sheds warm tears on Kai to melt his frozen heart and bring him back to life. Italian author Carlo Collodi (1826–1890), in “The Adventures of Pinocchio,” sheds light on paternal love through Geppetto who sells his only coat despite the cold weather to buy a school book for Pinocchio. In Brothers Grimm’s “Frau Holle,” when the protagonist shakes a featherbed coverlet, the feathers turn into beautiful snowflakes falling over the whole world. Winter Songs and Poems for Children “Little bunches of white cotton from the angels in heaven” Children run around joyfully and blow on their freezing hands. In his poem for children “Pockets,” Yun Dong-ju (1917–1945) wrote, “My pockets, when winter comes, become gapbuk gapbuk full with my two fists.” By repeating a mimetic (or onomatopoeic) word to mimic the children, the poet added fun to his description of a child’s pockets crammed with his fists seeking relief from the frigid weather. Lee Sang-gyo (1949–) also took advantage of the rhythmic tone of the Korean language in his poem for children, “A Dawn after Snowfall.” It goes, “On a fresh pile of snow, the footsteps of a do, do, do, doduk alley cat….” A children’s poem becomes a children’s song when it is given a beautiful melody. “Little Snowman,” written by Kang So-cheon (1915–1963), was also published as a children’s poem first and later was made into a song. “Children’s poems and children’s songs are like two fruits of a tree,” Kang said. .poster_img{float:left;display:inline-block;margin-right:20px;width:298px;
