조선전기 용인된 남성 투기

Abstract

Jealousy is the universal experience of feelings/activities, but in Joseon Dynasty, the moral framework of women was established to produce diverse discourse and cultural meanings. Jealousy has been a problem since the Chinese classics. It was recognized as a woman-specific emotion, and it suggested a possibility that women should not be jealous of the well-being of their family and country, jealousy can hurt your child or ruin your family or country, also strengthened its binding force through the seven valid causes for divorce. These things became reality in Joseon Dynasty. Although jealousy is defined as immoral feelings/activities of women, but it's not that men had no feelings of jealousy, either. Men's jealousy was similar to women's jealousy, and behind it is men's desire. However, man's jealousy was covered up without taking matters into consideration. It is certainly asymmetrical that jealousy has become a woman's only feelings/activities, when I recall that sexual desire is common in men and women. This can be said that men practiced power over women. What men have set jealousy as the moral domain and what makes it the morality of women, is the process in which men enforce power on women.
