전근대 문헌의 公刊과 근대적 호명 -근대 계몽기 지적 公認의 변화-

Abstract

This paper will examine the ways in which intellectuals were recognized in the period of modern enlightenment. This will include analyzing the reasoning behind and the process of early 20th century publication of the works of scholars from the 18th and 19th centuries, including those of seongho Yi-ik, Yeonam Park Ji-won, and Dasan Jeong Yag-yong. During the early 20th century. In Imperial Japan, the Joseon intellectual tradition was considered “old learning” by contemporaries. However, not all pre-modern literature was dismissed under the rubric of old learning. The publication of pre-modern munjip expanded on account of the proliferation of lead-type printing and modern publishing houses. Nonetheless, the publication of pre-modern literature in the 20th century indicates that the traditional social accreditation of knowledge and the purpose of publication had been undergoing changes. In China, Yeonamjib was published not on account of the value of its contents but in appreciation of the fact that he had successfully acquired the essential ideas of Western modernity ahead of the others. Moreover, Gwangmunsa which had been founded by Hyeon Chae, published Dasan’s works on the basis that they represented a level of modernity comparable to the ideas of Rousseau and Montesquieu. As a result, it may be concluded that the intellectual resources of earlier eras were separated from the traditional system of recognition and distribution and were summoned and circulated in the ways of modern interpellation. The publication of the Yeonamjib in China or Dasan’s works by the modern publishing house of Gwangmunsa indicates that the subject of intellectual accreditationwas in the process of changing. Given the fact that pre-modern literature was published neither by the state, the family or followers of the writer, but by modern publishing houses shows that these publications were selective projects meant to confront the flood of modernity. Contemporary intellectuals published pre-modern texts and literature not as an attempt to preserve the past but as an endeavor to overcome the national crisis of the present.
