다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Around in 1900, Joseon had experienced several changes of its nation system. It had changed from a feudalistic state in the medieval area to an empire, falling into a colonized state through anti-colonialism against Japan. In this process, Shin Chae-Ho and Hong Myung-Hee had developed the concepts of a state, national identity, a member of a state, a people, and Minjok (nation), aiming to build a modern nation state.
On the other hand, Sino-centralism order had been dismantled, and Japanese modern Orientalism had come to rise. The Korean Empire changed from Joseon had ostensibly been independent from Sino-centralism. However, Joseon had become colonized by Japan and ideologically joined into Japanese Orientalism. In this process, it was urgently necessary to establish a concept of a state and define national identity. Under the circumstances, Shin Chae-Ho and Hong Myung-Hee are significant figures who had taken a deep look at the issues of a state and MinJok (nation). In particular, their thoughts about a state had become a critical issue in their entire lives.
By writing Ulchi Mundok on the basis of an actual community, Shin Chae-Ho intended to realize national unity and national formation. Such an effort made our ancient history of Joseon recognized, and his obsession with nationalism caused him to be blind to forecast the view of modern state. However, Shin Chae-Ho had no intention of achieving monarch-centered feudalistic nation, going into anarchism in terms of the fact that he denied the concept of governing and governed.
However, Hong Myung-Hee had designed a new national system by describing the concept of Minjok (nation) through an imagined community in his novel, LimGeojeong. The novel includes features of national allegories, imaginarily reconstructing a loss of a nation. A state as an imagined community Hong Myung-hee aimed for was different from a state as an actual community. His state was much closer to a modern national state.
