『頤齋亂藁』를 통해 본 '朝報'의 유통과 함의

Abstract

Jobo was a court newspaper that was issued by the government in the Joseon period. It provided political news and a variety of other information, so noble people of that period always relied on the publicly reliable informative paper. Previous studies about Jobo were mostly made from the perspective of journalism or political history. However, noble people of the Joseon period took advantage of Jobo in association with many different aspects of daily life. In this sense, Jobo can be regarded as not only a political medium, but also a very personal and cultural one. Thus, the purpose of this study is to discuss the attractions of Jobo, hidden in its political attributes, such as ①a script for consensus politics, ②a material of job information, ③a letter to deliver news about hometown, ④a personal network with acquaintances, ⑤a measure of interpersonal relations and ⑥a gift that feels thankful, but not burdened. For the purpose, this researcher reviewed 『Yijaenango』, an autograph diary by Hwang Yoon Seok who was a Confucian scholar of Jeolla Province in the 18th century.
