정재륜(鄭載崙)의 『감이록(感異錄)』을 통해 본 조선후기 필기의 전개 양상과 새로운 지표(들)

Abstract

This study introduced Jeong Jae-ryun's "Gamirok" to the academic circle and at the same time identified developments of writings in the late Joseon Period as well as their characteristics and transfigurations as art work. Jeong Jae-ryun is well known as a figure who got married with Princess Sukjeong - fifth daughter of King Hyojong - at the age of 10 in 1656 (7th year of King Hyojong reign), becoming Dongpyeongwi. His writings of "Gongsa-gyeonmunrok" (Record of personal experience as an officer and person) and "Hangeomankrok" attracted people's attention in that they had recorded detailed personal experiences within the court at the time. However, the existence of "Gamirok", which was contained together with "Gyeonmun-ingyerok" in between "Gongsa-gyeonmunrok" and "Hangeomankrok" as a collection of four volumes at Kyujanggak, couldn't get proper attention. The reason this study pays attention to "Gamirok" in particular is because, while other three writings of Jeong Jae-ryun followed the normal form of writings at the time, this writing mainly contained the content whereby 'Guiea' (bizarre existence of ghosts and deities) showed warning and discipline to those attempting immoral conducts. So, this means Jeong Jae-ryun's "Gamirok" reflected universal value of moral recognition of 'Bokseon-hwaeum' (Blessings to the good people and disasters to the bad) and we need to pay attention to it that it was an attempt to convey political scenes full of party strife in the 16th and 17th Century. Moreover, given developments of writings related with 'Guiea', it's quite comparable to Seonghyeon's "Yongjae-chongwha" which proved Confucian scholars' superiority over demons as well as Kim An-ro's 'Yongcheon-damjeokgi" which interpreted political misfortunes of persons in connection with ghosts and deities. In this regard, the study revealed that 'Gamirok" had reinterpreted swirls of unethical political infighting borrowing the thought of 'Bokseon-hwaeum' related with 'Guiea', while maintaining the political neutrality of being the King's son-in-law of the author. And this study ascertained this finding as a new indicator of the writings in the late Joseon Period.
