현대 한몽 소설에 나타난 여성의 존재 양상 비교 연구 = A Comparative Study of Women's Precense in Contemporary Korean and Mongolian Novels

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This thesis aims to conduct a comparative study of the representations of women and their modes of existence in contemporary Korean and Mongolian novels, focusing on the works of Cho Nam-joo and R. Ulziitugs, two prominent female writers active in the twenty-first century. By examining the lives of female characters depicted in their novels, this study explores how women’s experiences are shaped and portrayed within different yet comparable social and cultural contexts. One of the notable commonalities in modern Korean and Mongolian literature is that women writers have increasingly portrayed various forms of female oppression in a realistic manner while simultaneously seeking to expose their structural causes. Women’s literature in both countries reflects women’s voices, rights, and social demands amid rapid societal change, and many female authors have actively addressed women’s issues as critical social concerns. in particular, Cho Nam-joo and R. Ulziitugs illuminate everyday discrimination and oppression experienced by women, revealing the underlying patriarchal structures and gender power relations embedded in contemporary society. Their works critically recognize that gender inequality is deeply rooted in social systems and demonstrate how such inequality becomes more complex and diversified how such inequality becomes more complex and diversified through the narratives of multiple female characters.
This study compares representations of women in Korean and Mongolian women’s fiction with a focus on marriage and family, women’s fiction with a focus on marriage and family, women’s social participation and living environments, and social perceptions of women. Although women in Korea and Mongolia exist within different historical and cultural settings, the similarities in the challenges they face suggest a shared structural basis for gender inequality. By analyzing how these issues are articulated in literature, this research seeks to identify both the universality and specificity of women’s experiences in the two societies. Ultimately, this comparative analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of women’s issues in Korean and Mongolian literature and highlights the significance of women’s writing as a critical discourse on gender inequality in contemporary society.
