<고공가>와 <고공답주인가>의 위계 양상과 현실 대응의 의미

Abstract

In this paper, we tried to understand the meaning of the reality response of the reality critical lyrics of the time by reviewing the hierarchical structure of the reality critical lyrics of the mid-Joseon period, Gogongga and Gogongdapjuinga. Real criticism lyrics have generally been understood as works that accuse the academic and ideology of the upper ruling class. However, Gogongga and Gogongdapjuinga differ in that they were created in the mid-Joseon Dynasty and also from the perspective of the upper ruling class. In addition, the two works show the agony and response of literary subjects to overcome the collapse of the harmonious Confucian order. A series of studies on these works have focused on identifying the artist's problem and comparing the problematic situations that appear in the work to the politics of the time and the due diligence. Therefore, the two works were interpreted as losing the power of reality criticism and showing frustration or resignation, or were evaluated as reality criticisms with poor modern orientation. However, in this paper, it is necessary to pay more attention to examining the artist's perception of reality through the structural characteristics of the works Gogongga and Gogongdapjuinga. Among them, it was intended to examine the literary response method and its meaning through the hierarchical structure of the characters of the work. As a result, it can be seen that there is a clear hierarchical and hierarchical composition in Gogongga and Gogongdapjuinga and that the re-establishment of the medieval hierarchy was what the artists wanted to say through their works. And the fact that these works were handed down until the late Joseon Dynasty also indicates that most readers internalized the Confucian ideology of hierarchy.
