추사 김정희와 윤상도 옥사, 그리고 정치권력

Abstract

This thesis aims to examine a chain of impeachment progresses to banish Chusa Kim Jeong-Hee (1786-1856) and his family circle from the political world and its character. The fact that the reason Chusa was exiled to Jeju Island was with ‘involvement in Yun Sangdo’s imprisonment’ is a matter of common knowledge while no research about ‘Yun Sangdo’s imprisonment’ itself has been done so far. Another purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to investigate whole story of ‘Yun Sangdo’s imprisonment’ as well. ‘Yun Sangdo’s imprisonment,’ however, was on the line with a series of affairs on power struggle in Joseon’s power politics system on the first half of 19th century rather than being a separate incident and it was not an incident related to misfortune only of Chusa but also of his whole family. This thesis, therefore, is to cast light upon ‘YunSangdo’s imprisonment’ while relating it to political prosperity and decline of Chusa and his entire family and it examines principle agents, contents and characters of that political impeachment. To do this, this thesis first divides the political family misfortune of Chusa and his family into tertiary phase and investigates the background of political authority and process of impeachment respectively, and then determines elements that made Chusa and his family, of all people, the main target of impeachment at that time and finally, discusses characters of political history shown through this procedure during the period of power politics in Joseon Dynasty.
