신라 상고기 왕위계승연구의 세대 연구방법론 모색을 위한 시론—나물왕의 왕위계승을 중심으로—

Abstract

This study was attempted to explore the applicability of the generation research methodology in looking at the succession to the throne in the ancient Shilla Dynasty. Several previous studies have also attempted to examine the succession to the throne using ‘generation’, but there was a problem in that only the concept of generation in a limited sense of relative genealogy was used without specifying a specific definition of the concept of generation and setting the category. For this reason, this study established the concept of generation and its categories, and introduced generation theory that had been discussed up to Karl Mannheim. Through this, we tried to analyse the applicability of ‘generation’ in the study of the succession to the throne in the ancient Shilla Dynasty. In the process, his succession to the throne was the starting point for the establishment of the Kim family’s succession to the throne, and the fact that the temporal gap between the blood ties and the birth and death dates confirmed in the records related to King Naemul was rather a person who could be free from the tendency to be studied mainly on blood ties and households. By creating a generation entellecki called Kim’s ancestral genealogy setting, the group of the King Naemul was able to move from a generational position to a real generation and succeed to the throne by developing to a generational unit through specific genealogy setting. In the process, it was assumed that the generation that failed to create generation entellecki was omitted in the process of future transmission due to being incorporated into the previous or later generations. As a result, it could be assumed that the King Naemul was recorded as the son-in-law of the King Michu, even though there was a time difference of more than 100 years between the ascension of King Michu and the King Naemul. According to the above, it was judged that the generation research methodology would be a valid analysis tool in studying the succession to the throne of the ancient Shilla Dynasty. Nevertheless, when looking at the succession to the throne of the King Naemul, various aspects, including the economic, military, cultural, and ideological aspects of various groups, including the King Naemul, must be considered together, but this study was not covered. This will be covered in future tasks.
