초록
Despite its classical status in Korean academics, Thomas More’s Utopia has been often discussed without due consideration of the historical and cultural contexts from which the work arose. Without bothering to look into nuances of the text, many intellectuals in Korean academics identify More’s Utopia, rather too hastily, as an early emergence either of Marxism or of Utopian discourse. To suggest a more productive reading of More’s Utopia, this paper focuses on the paratextual elements in More’s book, especially the introductory epistles and poems written by More’s friends and acquaintances, including Desiderius Erasmus and Peter Giles. Through the analysis of paratextual elements, the paper argues that More’s Utopia is a collaborative work of Northern humanists in More’s time under the guiding sprit of friendship, thereby problematizing a conventional understanding of the authorship of the book and placing the meaning of Utopia (“Nowhere”) in on-going textual conversations among the like-minded.
