조선 후기 천주교 여성의 가족감정을 통한 가족서사의 재배치 : 이루갈다의 [옥중서간]에 나타난 자아-가족-공동체 의식을 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis begins with the acknowledgment that the existing family has a considerable number of conditions for criticism, such as gender (male/female) roles, heterosexual-centeredness, blood ties, dichotomy of public and private spheres. However simultaneously, this thesis searches for evidence of reorganizing the family narrative, if it is not approached in an ideological or systematic dimension. This is to emphasize that it is possible to draw on an alternative family narrative that is different from before, particularly when discussing how family interacts and whether there is any meaningful existence within the family interaction. Accordingly, this thesis discusses the possibility of family relationship becoming an opportunity to construct a subject, rather than a logic that simply abolishes the family. Instead of placing family in an oppositive structure with the self or the public community, the thesis considers family as a link that connects self-family-community. For such discussion, this thesis observes a Catholic female in the late Chosun dynasty named Lee Soon-Lee Lugalda and her writing in "Letters written from prison" By reviewing the family feelings manifested in the "Letters written from prison" the author reconsiders the relationship between self, family, and public community. Furthermore,this thesis seeks to transcend the existing research method that comprehends the relationship between Confucian ideology and Catholic faith as simply a conflicting one.
