중국 인터넷 무협 담론에 대한 비판적 고찰

A critical review of China s discourse of internet knight-errant stories

In this paper, I discussed some important themes among the recent discourses related to internet knight-errant stories in China, and put Korean internet knight-errant stories into the context of these discourses, finally pointing out the commonalities and differences. The study of knight-errant stories in China has been quite active and has achieved considerable results. However, it is worrisome that many researches are under direct influence of external political force. Korean internet knight-errant stories are similar to those of China in many aspects, but looking at the aspects of some internet stories that have become very popular in Korea recently, it can be seen that meta-narratives about genre novels are being produced. Korean internet knight-errant stories are not converging toward chivalry(xiayi) and Chinese-ness , but are practices of free traversing through a huge database of internet stories.
