『만선일보』 여성 담론 연구 - 여성 시리즈 기사를 중심으로

Abstract

This study examined woman’s discourse in the Manseonilbo, focusing on the woman’s series articles. This is related to Korean woman who immigrated to Manchukuo in the 1930s and 1940s. The purpose of the study can be said to be to attempt gender research on the Manseonilbo, while considering what names and images Korean woman were called in Manchukuo. In Manseonilbo, they were mainly referred to as ‘OO woman, OO wife’, etc., making them visible at a discursive level. Their names could be discussed within three categories: professional woman, housewife, and Joseon woman. Rather than being mutually exclusive objects, these were combined or transformed in complex ways. In other words, as professional woman, domestic wife, Joseon woman, and foreign wife were published in various series in Manseonilbo, the definitions, characteristics, and norms of woman and wife were repeatedly being meaningfulized. The logical structure of woman’s discourse was ‘Woman/wife are OOO’, ‘Woman/wife have certain characteristics’, ‘Woman/wife should be OOO’, etc. The meaning of this study is to review the woman’s discourse of Manseonilbo, which has not been discussed so far, focusing on a series of articles. It was confirmed that this discourse did not express woman’s positions and voices as is, but was a discourse structure created by being called within the hierarchy of identity or power relations.
