근대문화유산에 대한 대중적 관심이 시작된 것은 낡고 오래되어 도시 곳곳에 버려져 있던 근대건축물들이 문화재로 사람들의 주목을 받게 되면서 부터이다. 식민지배 기간 동안 일제의 주도 아래 만들어진 근대 건축물은 수치의 증거물로 여겨져 철거되거나 재개발 아래 사라지기 마련이었다. 그러나 갑자기 근대건축물의 역사적 가치를 인정하여 문화재로 등록하고, 국가차원에서 장려하는 관광 상품으로 확대되는 현상이 나타났다. 이런 현상에 주목하여 근대건축물을 대하는 입장의변화가 나타나게 된 사회․정치적 배경을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해서 사회적 배경 하에 형성되는담론을 민족주의론과 역사주의론, 그리고 문화소비론의 세 가지로 분류해 보았다. 본 연구에서는 근대문화유산을 둘러싸고 나타나는 시대적인 변화와 이로 인해 형성된 세 가지담론(민족주의론과 역사주의론, 그리고 문화소비론)의 경합을 군산의 사례를 통해 살펴보았다. 그리고 해당 시기에 일어난 일련의 사건과 현재 진행되고 있는 군산의 근대문화유산 관광․산업화전략을 중심으로 전반적인 담론의 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 군산의 사례를 집중 조명해서 근대문화유산을 둘러싸고 나타난 위의 세 가지 담론 즉민족주의론, 역사주의론 그리고 문화소비론이 시대적 사건과 맞물리면서 경쟁해오고 있음을 분석하였다. 그리고 이 과정에서 국가, 지자체 그리고 군산 시민들 간에 근대문화유산을 바라보는 인식차이가 크다고 하는 사실도 지적했다


The purpose of this study is to look into the changes of discourse on the modern cultural heritage. The interests in the modern cultural heritage have been increasing since people paid attention to historical constructions that were built in the colonial period. Since liberalization they had been abandoned here and there in cities but recently they were recognized as cultural assets. It is no wonder that the historical constructions that had been built by Japanese imperialists during the colonial period were torn down or were demolished for the sake of development, because they were regarded as symbols of disgrace. But some strange phenomena occurred. The abandoned recent historical constructions were listed on the National Cultural Assets with great historical value and drew people's attention as the tourism purposes. After reconsidering these phenomena, the first step I took for the issue was to analyze the changes of social and political background which led to these phenomena. For the detailed analysis, I categorized the discourses formed under social background into three types :Nationalism, Historicism and Culture Consumption. The Nationalistic discourse shows that all recent historical constructions built in the Japanese colonial period and all factors that had something to do with Japanese life styles, culture and history must be torn down. The Historical discourse insists that since the Japanese colonial period becomes one part of our history, we should acknowledge it. The historical constructions must be left not to make the same mistake again. The Culture Consumption discourse acknowledges the historical value of recent constructions and goes with the historicism at this point. Furthermore, it shows that it tries to restore the buildings, use them for tourism, contribute to the local economy and even establish a new tradition. The second step was to delineate the changes of different discourses employed by Gunsan city dwellers according to a time order. It must be necessary to do periodization of the contemporary history of Gundan city. I divided it into four distinctive periods:formative period, stagnation period, conflict and confused period and newly developed period. analyzed the changes of discourses in relation with a series of incidents occurred in the relevant periods. Then I investigated the ongoing tourism developments and industrialization strategies of modern cultural heritage in Gunsan. Through this work, I searched the political and social backgrounds in which the recent historical constructions have drawn remarkably people's attention in Gunsan city. Then I have analyzed the changes of discourses on the recent historical constructions remained in Gunsan city. I could rearrange the historical and cultural incidents caused by the changes of discourses and get a sense of conflicts between the central government and the local government and between the local government and the citizens of Gunsan.
