開化啓蒙時代 ‘演說’과 ‘講演’의 分化와 非政治的 公論場 形成의 背景

Abstract

This Study focuses on determining that the translated term of “speech”, Yeonseol (演說) had the distinct tendency to violate against the politic fundamental that has been laid the foundation of the loyal road politics throughout the Joseon Dynasty,with the homophones in Korean, Yeonseol(筵說) has represented the relations of sovereign and subject in Joseon. At the least, the term, Yeonseol(演說) seemed to have the critical meaning to the politic system of toward the end of the 19th century because the activity or media of Yeonseol(演說) made the public opinion field of democracy and took the propagation of new thought through the leverage of the human voice. The old politic forces of the Daehan empire made desperate efforts to control the political nature of Yeonseol(演說). The representative example of such a repression was the compulsory winding-up of the independence association(獨立協會) through the imperial order of the dispersal of the private association. Guardians of the imperial power tried to establish the law of the rally and the organization of private association. Consequentially, no private association has been admitted in Joseon after the dissolution of the independence association(獨立協會), until Iljin association came to establish in 1904, relying on Japan imperial power. Then, the Korean people tried to establish the society claim to be non-politic naturally, stuck in the double restriction of the Daehan empire and Japan imperial power. For example, the people education association(國民敎育會) published the association rule in “Daehanmail shinbo(大韓每日申報)” and “Hwangsung Shinmun(皇城新聞)”, in each Korean, and Korean and Chinese. Then, they found Gangron(講論) and Gangyeon(講演) in the possible substitution of Yeoseol(演說), the prohibition term. Since then, “Hwangsung Shinmun(皇城新聞)” tried to use the term, Gangyeon (講演) and to distinguish it and Yeonseol(演說), and it came to the origin of the functional separation of Yeonseol(演說) and Gangyeon(講演) throughout the Japanese Ruling Era.
