‘담론’과 ‘현실’사이: 1920-30년대 중국 ‘청년’의 초상 ― 『 生活週刊』사가 편찬한 『독자편지모음집』을 중심으로

Abstract

The “Life Weekly”, which was launched in Shanghai in 1925, is the largest magazine with the largest number of readers ever recorded, and its main audience is the youth group centered on students and city workers. In 1926, “Life Weekly” published a series of letters of reader's opinions and opinions of the readers and posted the comments of the editors. The “Life Weekly” publisher selected letters from the readers' articles that were published in their own articles in 1930 and 1931, which were not published in the magazine, and published their own opinions and comments on the readers' opinions. And published “A Collection of Reader's Letters.” The reader's letter column contains the anxieties and questions of the young people in the transition from the traditional society to the modern society in the social structure and value system. The main contents are academic and career problems, job choice and employment, love and marriage, and human relations. Self-narration about this reality problem is a process in which a young man establishes his identity as a young man and becomes a modern subject. In addition, the editorial team communicated with readers through advice, encouragement, and commentary about the reader's letter, and formed and spread a kind of youth discourse.
