근대적 글쓰기 공간으로서 여성 잡지 : 근대 초기 여성 잡지의 실태와 양상 조사

Abstract

The emergence of female magazines in modern Joseon society originated from the belief that women were new social entities and from the desire to solve the urgent challenges of society based on a new understanding of the family. The critical discourse and many aspects of literary writing in women's magazines call for the study of feminine magazines as modern media. Through examining the publishing patterns of 41 female magazines from the late Joseon Dynasty to the pre-liberation period, we would like to speculate on how Joseon society could accommodate new classes and develop modern systems. In the early modern era, women's magazines were a channel for social communication and self-expression. As these women's magazines depict the characteristics of pre-disciplinary literature, they can be used as key materials to deduce contemporary cultural ideas and thoughts on writing. While further research and confirmation of the data is still needed in the course of investigating the status and aspects of women's magazines in the early modern times, it is possible to produce a different narrative that is based on the data already available. The initiative of the new methodology has led to further consideration of the approach. In particular, it is expected to proceed to study the writing patterns of women and their discourse, especially among writing, documenting, and writing articles that display non-authorized social imagination.
