18세기 시조에서 탈중세성의 지향과 근대성 문제

Abstract

From standpoint of difference and the modernity of varieties, I studied sijo(a Korean traditional poetic form) texts of the Chosun dynasty in the era of 18th century. I focused on what the sijo oriented from medievality to new one. Results are as follow. The dominant sijo intend to head, Confucian ideas, the aesthetics of yangban(the traditional ruling class during the Chosun Dynasty). However, the new sijo stand against the dominant. Those sijo texts intend to the nether limbs, reality, the aesthetics of seomin(the common people of during the Chosun Dynasty). The dominant sijo attaches too much importance to an authentic precedent and follow an old tradition and conventional metaphor. However, the new sijo create original metaphor and prefer the metonymy of concrete reality to the metaphor which oriented to universality. The dominant sijo reflect Confucian ethics powerfully. However, the new sijo pursue love and free sex, and express the signifiant of desire while freeing oneself from the signifiant which are permitted by rule-system. Some people out of the men who is subsumed by medieval identity begin to build up subject. Especially, the lower class, seomin and women criticize yangban and men and satire the contradiction of feudal system and patriarchy. Like this, sijo texts in the era of 18 centuries intend to de-medievality of the Chosun dynasty. Some out of them are similar to western modernity, but some are not. The former is a universal modernity. The latter is the varietal modernity. The modernization of Korea has been achieved by hybridity of the both.
