「병인양난녹」 속 1866년 洋擾의 기억

Abstract

「Byeonginyanglanrok」 is an essay written by Naju Imssi, a noblewoman who lived in Ganghwa Island, that she saw and heard in 1866. This is the only data that is confirmed to have been written by residents of Ganghwa Island, which was severely damaged by the invasion of Western powers in 1866. In this paper, we looked at how the emergence of Western forces was recorded in 「Byeonginyanglanrock」 and how it differed from historical facts and and how the situation on Ganghwado Island during the French occupation was described. 「Byeonginyanglanrok」 illustrates the situation on Ganghwado Island at the time of Byenginyangyo(丙寅洋擾). Naju Imssi accused the French military of looting and sexual assault on women on Ganghwa Island. At the same time, he pointed out the Koreans’ indecency under the French occupation. This showed that Ganghwa Island residents were suffering from double pain. NajuImssi wanted to find out why Ganghwado, which was peaceful, fell into this situation. She attributed the reason to the lethargic military and irresponsible local government. The French army occupied Ganghwa Island for almost a month because of problems with the Korean military. Although NajuImssi’s perspective is not wide or sharp, the 「Byeonginyanglanrock」 helps him understand the situation on Ganghwado Island at the time of the illness. The essay is both a historical material and a literary work. Lim’s record was made to heal the trauma of an invasion by Western powers Of course, the biggest remedy is to avoid being invaded by Western powers again. The fact that the body of a woman looked back on the yangyo of a sick man and thought about various problems is also drawing attention from the perspective of women’s history. We hope that this will help us to confirm the reality of the yangyo and to improve our understanding of the text 「Byeongyanlokl」.
