조선후기 여성 생활의 규범화 -탈규범화 관계에 대한 연구 -‘세속(세상)의 부녀자’ 담론을 중심으로-

Abstract

This paper studies on the relation of women-Confucian moralizing-demoralizing in the late Chosun dynasty. For this purpose I study funeral odes, memorial inscriptions and texts of moral standards for women. It is found that there are a lot of expressions about "Mundane Women". They represented negatively. They were believed to violate Confucian norms. They violate the norms that they have to make cloth, to say in a modest way, to speak straightly and so on. In addition that they violate the norms that they have not to butter someone up, to be inclined to luxury,to believe in superstitions and so on. It is found that several oppositive signs, individual: group, minor: major, yesterday:today=moralizing: demoralizing, virtue: loss of virtue. The discourse requires further checkup in the cultural context. For the purpose, I compare the discourse with other discourse about chaste women. Women are tend to de-normalization in the daily life but they are tend to normalization in the particular situations, for exam, husband's sickness or unwished physical touch in the late Chosun Dynasty. There are several distinctions between two discourses. To give attention this, I subdivide the components of norms, rule and practice. The discourses on 'mundane women' have strong power of rules but weak power of practice. But the discourses on chaste women have strong power of practice and weak power of rules. These different levels of norms,in addition to different tendency to normalizing, make women dynamic in the late Chosun society.
