18, 19세기 중인층의 지식 향유와 산출 - 해외체험을 통한 사대부 epigonen으로부터의 脫皮를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The Joseon Dynasty period knowledge information was the exclusive property of Literati-Intellectuals(士大夫). On condition of this case, the literature of Middle Class Intellectuals in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth- Century has depreciated sometimes. That was the reason they are treated as Epigones of Literati-Intellectuals. But now, we have to present a variety of views. For the new understanding of Middle Class Intellectuals(especially in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth- Century), we should take notice to their knowledge-generating process. And to do that, first of all, we must grasp the importance of their way of Experiences Abroad. Middle Class Intellectuals combined professionalism with ability in administrative business area. Therefore, lf we want to analyze the merit of Middle Class Intellectuals effectually, we need an in-depth study about their documentation. It is a sort of back tracking. In this way, this study will focused on the recordings they left behind.
