1870년대~1930년대 上海 출판 석인본을 통한 근대적 시각 이미지의 국내 유입 양상 연구

Abstract

In this study I took a look at the overall picture of the lithographed books published in modern Shanghai and then brought into Korea between 1870s and 1930s, and examined the visual images of those books to analyze the symptoms of the modernity in them. The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for evaluating the effects of these visual images on the formation of new knowledge in modern Korea.BR About three thousand lithographed books published in Shanghai were collected in National Library of Korea, Kyujanggak Korean Studies Institute, SungKyunKwan University Jongyeonggak, Korea University Library, Yonsei University Library, Seoul National University Library, and among them nine hundred sixty eight books (about 69 percent of the total) were published at Saoyeshanfang (掃葉山房), and in Korea the institution that has the largest collection of the lithographed books published in Shanghai was the library of Korea University, which has three hundred seventy two books (about 12.3 percent of the total).BR When categorizing the lithographed books collected in Korea University Library into traditional four categories (sibu 四部), thirty six books belong to Confucian classics part (jingbu 經部), about 9.67 percent of the total, thirty one books belonging to the category of historiography and statecraft (shibu 史部), 8.33 percent of the total, ninety one books belonging to the category of masters and philosophers (zibu 子部), 24.46 percent of the total, and two hundred ten books belong to the category of belles-lettres (jibu 集部), about 56.45 percent of the total. Among the books that belong to the category of belles-lettres, fifty three books(about 14.24% of the total) are books of novels. This suggests that the greatest number of novels were introduced among the books published in Shanghai at that time. BR Next, I divided the modern images contained in the lithographed books introduced to Korea including Manqing Guanchang Baiguailu (滿淸官場百怪錄), Guowen Jiaokeshu (國文敎科書), Xizheng Congshu (西政叢書), etc, into two groups; illustrations that convey knowledge from the West and illustrations containing the material representing modern civilization. By examining these images, we can understand how the modern knowledge like anatomy, world geography and scientific knowledge, and material representing modern civilization like new means of transportation, urban landscape, and brand new living supplies were illustrated and explained, and furthermore we can assume that these images had some effect on the formation of visual knowledge in modern Korea.
