國民演劇에 나타난 母性 연구－宋影의 「山風」, 「申思任堂」을 중심으로－

Abstract

This study is aimed at examining the motherhood presented in a National Theater, centering around Song Young's San-Poong and Shin-Sa-Im-Dang. These two works reorganized the image of ‘Chong Hoo Buin’ (the women in the rear guard) claimed under the new system through the traditional Chosun's image of mother. As a mother of a militant nation, the important obligation of the women in the rear guard was to foster their sons as a soldier of Japan. San-Poong, through criticizing depraved urban culture and the new women (Shin Yeoseong), and Shin-Sa-Im-Dang, through the ideology of ‘Hyun Mo Yang Chu’ (wise mother and obedient wife), embodied the motherhood as a mother of a militant nation. This motherhood was highlighted as an Oriental value through normalizing women as a mother of a son in a patriarchal family system and a son loyal to the nation. Accordingly, the motherhood, embodied in two works, reflected strategy of Japanese colonization and contributed to mobilize chosun people to Dae-Dong-A War.
