남이섬에 대한 관광객들의 환상과 이미지 고찰 = 남이섬 관광객의 인터뷰를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to examine the realization of desire in tourist attractions through the imagination. Tourists can get various views about reality they had never realized before and experience how they face and resist reality during their tour. They also can escape reality by experiencing a new world in Nami Island because they can experience its own unique mood there. That is, tourists view the reality of an expanding concept because they can get a wider view through experiencing fantasy after they travel to tourist destinations such as Nami Island. From this point of view, fantasy is not only a means of escaping reality but it also plays the role of a mirror of reality. Therefore, tourists satisfy their repressed desire by freely revealing their desire in Nami Island, and they expose their hidden desire toward reality through fantastic scenes and objects there. Also, they can feel the strong sense of stability caused by fantastic elements like the new environment, special stories, and a de-familiarized landscape, and they can experience jouissance that can’t be accomplished in reality. In conclusion, the elements of fantasy that are represented as the form of desire in Nami Island are the change of space, the space of imagination, and the change of language. The implication of this study is the fact that the fantasy in a tourist spot is not a concept that is separate from reality, and tourists can experience fantasy through a wide range of perspectives and perceptions that they have never realized before.
