일제시기 젠더 문화의 일면 – 젠더사로 다시 읽는 방정환 –

Abstract

Bang Jeong-hwan was looking at the issue of women as the normative gaze of modern colonial modernism. Emphasized the identity of the individual as an awareness of modern civilization and the discovery and manifestation of a modern individual for the advancement of women and society. For the manifestation of women as individuals, Bang Jeong - hwan totally approved free marriage of women and free marriage. And advocated "new family" centered on married couples formed by free love and free marriage. As a member of the modern nation, the "New Women" should be a socially independent entity, and at the same time, it is set as a nurturing child with a beautiful and noble maternity in the new family. In addition, the writings about the New Women of Bang Jeong - hwan crossed the satire of the new personality and the gaze of the masculine voyeurism and entertainment. His writings, which recreated the New Women, often revealed a moral advantage over women who were masculine in their gaze. In the New Women Enlightenment, masculinity was working. This masculinity was a dualism in which the imperialist way of thinking was naturally transferred to colonial men and that the existing customs and prejudices of women were not completely overcome. By these masculinities, the new women became objects of enlightenment and became subjects of satire and amusement. Paradoxically, such a new woman could have been the key to liberating colonialism and masculinity, but Bang Jeong-hwan's new women discourse did not reach that level. This seemingly contradictory description of the new women leads to a deep understanding of the colonial male intellectual, Bang Jeong-hwan, who was an incomplete cultural enlightenment, progressive and innovative but had limitations. From this point of view, the writings on the new women of Bang Jeong-hwan will bring about various discussions and interest about femininity and coloniality, and provide rich material for colonial modern gender culture history.
