근대전환기 조선인의 메이지(明治) 일본 견문 = 민건호의 『동행일록(東行日錄)』을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, we investigated the inward consciousness of Chosun intellectuals about the modern period and Japan at the end of the 19th century by Donghaengilrok(東行日錄), a report of public journey written by Min Geon-ho who was a confucian scholar and a government official of Chosun at the same time.
Japans external scenery was praised as a fairyland in the past. After China centric view had been introduced, this scenery was redescribed as a place where ideas and landscapes were separated, whereas this gap has been reduced or disappeared in modern times. First, unlike the Dispatch of the Chosun Envoys to Tokugawa Japan , they observed only modern culture that had been developed by transportation of inter-city network. Although Chosun intellectuals marveled at the speed and convenience of modern culture and attempted to distinguish what they saw from what they heard and to record thoroughly, they only listed superficial observations and factual information without trying to accommodate it or to conduct in-depth analyses. Rather, they showed a passive attitude in Tokyo, either by staying indoors or not documenting the knowledge and experience of Lee Heonyoung in detail. Japan was a country of savages they wanted to avoid, and they showed an attitude toward China centric view about the superficial level of custom such as bathing culture. This negative perception, however, ended up in the level of custom, while they seem to have judged Western culture itself to be indispensable. In other word, Min Geon-hos envoy experiences shows the persistence and cracks of China centric view, and also reveals the ambivalence about Japan.
This consciousness of discomfort was shaped by the longing for their homeland and family, and turned them into activities such as written conversation in Chinese and Literary exchange that allowed them to acquire an identity of Chinese classics and cultural self-esteem, It is highly likely that such behavior was a coping mechanism of consciousness to maintain the identity of Chosun in the modern period, a fancy and convenient but incompletely comprehensible and dreaded environment.
