표상실재론에 입각한 제국주의 기생담론과 인식변화 모색

Abstract

The dissertation leads to the discussion against gisaengs who existed in imperialism through philosophical view-Representative realism. Also it intends to seek for the possibilities of change of recognition with gisaengs who imprinted and distorted as sexual objects. For this, in this dissertation, firstly it examine the overall understandings about the imperialism and gisaengs in Chosun dynasty and Representative realism which was drafted by Locke and Decartes. Then it investigates the reason why gisaengs, once who had performed the proper roles in stern rank system of Chosun dynasty, degraded to the status of sexual objects in colonial Japan with Representative realism. In result, gisaengs were driven to prostitutes under the pretext of hygienic discussion on the basis of the establishment of firm knowledge, so-called Imperialism. And the public set to encounter gisaengs within the news article "One hundred artists" and "Thesaurus of Chosun Beauty", ultimately it was spreaded out to the commercialization process of gisaengs with the exhibition, a product of imperialism and capitalism. This phenomenon made gisaengs as the representation in compliance with current ideas, and the representation secured firmly an actual image. As a result, today gisaengs recognized sexual objects rather than artistes. Hence this paper figures out the process of Cartesian doubt in a way of the change of recognition against gisaengs, and devise the possibilities of popular understandings with mass media. Therefore, it needs to set up proper hierarchy of values with constant doubts which could awake stagnated perception in senses first of all. In that case, it could reach the authentic worth of gisaengs resident in charm and joy, tradition and succession, perseverance and effort and an artistic ability. Also gisaeng's dance could be approved not as a temptation or attraction but as artistic soul and talent. Finally it could suggest that the public have a correct understanding of artistic value of dance and dancer nowadays.
