초록

본 연구는 남북전쟁 이전 미국 루이지애나주 레드강 유역의 취락발달과정을 다루었다. 당시 프런티어에 들어선 우체국은 초기 기능지역의 결절점을 형성하였는데, 본 연구는 우체국의 업무기록에 수록된 통계자료를 바탕으로 우체국취락의 발달과정을 계층구조의 변화에 중점을 두고 접근하였다. 연구는 취락계층이 정보유통량에 비례한다는 가설을 전제로 수행하였다. 자료를 분석한 결과 크게 두 가지 사실을 확인하였는데, 초장기 취락발달이 배후지역으로의 확장을 특징으로 한 반면, 시대를 내려오면서 취락내부에 계층적 분화가 심화되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 구조 변화의 주원인은 무엇보다 세계체제내에서 유럽과 미국 북동부 섬유산업의 원료로 이용되는 면화경제의 발달이었다.
