『제국신문』의 힘: ‘여성의 감각’의 탄생

Abstract

Women described in Jeguksinmun was not one type, showing several methodical ‘Differences’ by class. Old female intellectuals differ from setting ‘Nationals’ as receivers and ‘The others-Woman’ as receivers. Both of them argued their identical position as the subject of enlightenment, but the former suggested ‘Nationals’ be enlightened while the latter put more point on ‘Gender’ than ‘Nationals’ Category and paid attention to differences in Gender Category. The former argued Equality between man and woman and the latter argued labor division theory between man and woman. New female intellectuals thought ‘Feminity’ and ‘Women’s Principles’ can show a way to overcome and save from competition of civilization had been continuing in Korean peninsula and the whole world. Here, dividing roles such as ‘man / woman’, ‘outside / Inside’ was rejected. ‘Overlapped Others ―Woman’ inspired a way to discover ‘Individual-lower class’ as the subject of sensibility. Here, ‘Sensibility’ is a means of ‘nation-building of women’, and it sublated ‘Sensibility of Discrimination.’ Their styles were different from men in many ways. Changes in Jeguksinmun, from ‘subject to become’ to ‘subject to do’ and from ‘disorganization’ to ‘organization’ revealed the modernity and enlightenment as unsubstantial without resolving problems of the others. Imagination of ‘the modernity of others-overcome’ was a dream and power of Jeguksinmun.
