Research Abstract |
The present study investigated basic structure of "primary landscape" held by Asian people from the standpoint of cultural psychology. The primary landscape is defined as "life-long memory of the attached place and landscape experienced during childhood which is repeatedly remembered as mentally significant scene and functions as psychological anchor. " Literature review in the field of psychology, cultural anthropology, literature, geography and psychoanalysis revealed several common components in the concept of primary landscape as well as different focus. A more inclusive arid psychological model of primary landscape was proposed. Based on the theoretical model, a new methodology which deals with everyday discourse on one's childhood memory was developed together with analytical concepts. An individual and collective interviews were conducted and analyzed in terms of structural components and thematic contents of the primary landscape in Chedudo, Korea. Main findings were as follows : 1) three narrative models which focus on scenic, action arid evaluative aspects of childhood environmental experiences are used in the description of one's primary landscape ; 2) evaluative discourse oil childhood memory of one's primary landscape reveals its connection to self-image and concerns with present social climate ; 3) there are variations in the depth of discourse on primary landscape depending on the relations between the interviewer and interviewees and on one's childhood experience ; and 4) in the collective discourse situation the primary landscape is mutually induced and strengthened by taking different roles which depend on the community identity. These results are discussed ill terms of implicit cultural learning processes and formation of place identity.
