한국 漢文古典 飜譯의 범주와 대상-근대계몽기 전후-

Abstract

In the epochs preceding and following the Modern Enlightenment, a plethora of public records emerged as manifestations of patriotic enlightenment and the dissemination of contemporary knowledge. These records were meticulously crafted utilizing diverse notations, including the Korean script and local writing systems. The proliferation of such records occurred through the advent of modern printing technology, leading to the widespread dissemination of information via printed materials. Noteworthy among the literary works disseminated through print media were publications in both the Korean script and Chinese characters. Instances include GwanBo (官報), educational textbooks, newspapers, and magazines. It is imperative, therefore, to embark on a comprehensive investigation and categorization of materials disseminated before and after the Modern Enlightenment. The examination should ascertain the viability of these materials as potential subjects for classical Korean translation. Given the substantial volume of Korean records from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coupled with the distinctive nature of the translation targets, the inclusion of materials in Chinese characters and Korean combined with Chinese characters warrants attention. Specifically, focus should be directed towards state-published official reports, publicly-oriented institutional textbooks, and media outlets such as newspapers and magazines, which serve as reflections of the public sphere and the characteristics of modern media. Furthermore, there is merit in conceptualizing and devising a comprehensive anthology tentatively titled "Collection of Chinese Characters and Korean Mixed with Chinese Characters of the Modern Enlightenment." This envisioned collection aims to encapsulate the linguistic and thematic nuances prevalent in materials from this transformative era.
