Title
Editorial Design and The Role of Visuality in the Historical Descriptions
김영철 Kim Young-chul
Abstract
All acts of design will be like that, but especially the act to design a historic book is an interdisciplinary process which starts from recognizing history and being serious about the act by itself. The topic < Editorial Design and The Role of Visuality in the Historical Descriptions > starts from the question `What is a historical description?` We try to raise the problem that until now only descriptions written by historians or just `written` descriptions were accepted as historical descriptions in general. Nowadays historical descriptions are extended to what people from all kinds of fields have predicated, overcoming what officially recognized historians have written. Also, the visual images used in historical descriptions are not only derivatives of text-based descriptions but constructed as symbolic and emblematic systems. Actually, the photographs of historic relics, visually reconstructed models or pictures, revivals of sceneries in drama or plays, informative graphic magazines, cartoons are by themselves methods of documenting and describing history. Furthermore, editing design, integrating the written letters and visual images together, involves a similar process of actively interpreting written text and visual image such as the historian when he chooses historical material. Therefore, editing design should also be seen as an act of historical descriptions.
