Abstract

The purpose of this presentation is to examine the recognition about women related to women education in the modern enlightenment period showed in “Pyeonpheongidamgyeongsega”(1908) published by Bomunsa. ". In the time when Overwhelming changes of a modern way of life began to emerge along with nation's mounting sense of crisis, the most emergent historical obligation was to establish the political system. In the process of this, the key subject was 'nation making' through 'enlightenment'. In this situation, women in the modern enlightenment period were recognized as the subject of education and enlightenment. However, their social status remained unchanged and their thinking was still held in the past. This manifestation either consciously or unconsciously had had a great impact onnot only men who took in charge of women education but also women themselves. The drastic changes of modern enlightenment were strongly connected to outdated perspectivesespecially in relation to women education. Also this must have been expressed in literary works used as tools of enlightenment. "Pyeonpyeongidamgyeongsega" examined in this presentation is the different version of "Chodangmundapga" which was so popular from 19century that had a tradition style of Gasa and spread Confucianism exposing pre modern characteristics. However, 'the sectionof women education' which only appeared in “Pyeonpheongidam” clearly revealed the impact of modern enlightenment. "The section of women education" was made up of 4 passages 13 lines and revealed the writer's perception in a gradual form. The main theme of the poem appeared in the beginning part and criticized women who were benefited from western culture through the steps of 'appearance description → behavior description → description of Japan's unscrupulous behavior → the miseducation of women'. Through this, the writer clearly recognized women as the subject of education and emphasized the importance of education. But the contents of education remained traditional. In short, an attempt to recognize women as individual subjects was made, which resulted in making women as the subject of education. However, the contents of education were focused on a pre modern way of thinking and its double standards created a great impact on literary works which were popular at that period of history.
