18세기 지방 지식인 황윤석과 지방 의식 = 18th-Century Local Literatus Hwang Yun-seok and Regional Consciousness

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Research on individual figures constitutes a significant portion of the study of late Joseon Dynasty thought. However, unless it was intended to be purely abstract and speculative, these figures’ ideology cannot have been divorced from the reality in which they lived. The present study focuses on the increasing separation of the capital and the provinces in the world of late Joseon Dynasty thought and seeks to demonstrate how the regional consciousness of Hwang Yun-seok, an 18th-century regional intellectual, was reflected in his life and thought.
As a student of Gim Won-haeng, Hwang naturally inherited the academic stance and political consciousness of the Old Doctrine faction. Above all, however, he was also strongly conscious of his own regionality. Having experienced the exclusion of and discrimination against provincials, Hwang was considerably interested in exhibiting the academic tradition of Jeolla Province and establishing institutions for appointing qualified scholars from the region to government posts.
In the process of probing for a solution to the problem of Jeolla Province on a general and universal level, Hwang sought to elevate Gim In-hu’s performance of rites at the National Confucian Shrine to a matter of academic tradition and relationships, and found the justification for the appointment of scholars from the region to government posts in the context of promoting academics. However, Jeolla Province was always at the center of the “country” that he sought to underscore.
In fact, Hwang’s view of Seoul was highly ambivalent. Although he disapproved of the misconduct of scholars from Seoul, he was keenly aware that it was impossible to obtain new knowledge and information such as Western science books unless one lived in the capital. Indeed, scholars in Seoul not only exchanged ideas regardless of their social class and political loyalties but also stressed the need to adopt Western science and Qing Chinese institutions and cultural products.
From an impoverished country and without even the benefit of having visited Peking as an envoy, Hwang was by no means in a position similar to that of his counterparts in Seoul. Consequently, he was not only passive about academic exchange between the professional “middle men” and the aristocratic scholar-officials but also inflexible about the introduction of “Northern Learning” and Qing Chinese institutions and cultural products. His regional consciousness affected his view of reality and academic stance indeed.
