가사 문학 속 근대 여성과 의식 변화 - <싀골색씨 설은 타령>, <위모ᄉᆞ>, <망향가>를 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis investigates the features of Modern women and their consciousness changes in Gasa, which is a long narrative song, and the significance of Gasa of the times. In the modern era, women were forced to put themselves in a situation where they had no choice but to obey the decisions of their husbands or in-laws regardless of their will. Three pieces of Gasa were selected among modern women’s works such as <Sigolsaeksiseoluntaryung>, a rural female narrator who received a divorce notice from her husband, <Wimosa>, leaving her hometown with her parents-in-law for Manchuria for national independence, and leaving her homeland with her husband who went to Japan to study, <Manhyangga> All the female narrators in the three works belong to the old generation. These women make their minds to keep their place in the social upheaval, longing for the independent life of women moving into a wider world and following their husband to a foreign country while missing their hometown in the first-person narration. Women’s magazines published in the 1930s and three novels featuring a female speaker as the protagonist was examined to explore modern women's features. Modern women are divided into new women and old-fashioned women. However, the women in the above three Gasa works were thinking the same as new women for education, This consciousness system was investigated from the perspective of enlightenment awareness of new women and old-fashioned women, changes in worldview, and perception of space. Those three Gasa works have great significance in the characteristics of revealing modern changes and expressing individual narratives rather than lyric literature that conveys information.
