ABSTRACT

Yujeong is the most confident work of Chunwon. Theresearch related to it, though carried out all the time, is now in the decline. Since it doesn’t directly reflect the oppression of the colonial rule at thattime, Yujeong is often regarded as a purely literary work which describes only the “unethicalromance” between the adoptive father and adopted daughter. However, “jeong” in Yujeong, does not mean simply the love between men and women. During the process of the characters’ immigration, through the production, transformationand sublimation of “jeong”, the story shows the readers an loving world where in particular there is a kind of often-neglected strong patrioticfeelings. As part of quest for a diverse approach to the research of Yujeong, this thesis deals with the discourse of migration from a national perspective. In the immigration experience involving people’s “feelings”, the sentimental world of the characters’ own inner space has been gradually formed, and thesentimental world between characters has also been formed. This loving world isopposed to the merciless Korean society at the disposal of the colonists wherethey live in before their immigration. The characters, though carry out theirimmigration activities respectively, they are consistent in their efforts topursue an affectionate Korean society. In addition, we can see Chunwon’scall for getting rid of the cruel society and entering into a loving societyfrom the story, which shows Chunwon’s use of Dosan’s thought of “CheongeuiTonsu”. Through the ‘jeong’ between Choi-Seok and Jeong-im, Chunwon demonstrates the ‘Cheongeui’ to the publicand transformed the return of immigrants into an opportunity for there alization of a loving society in an effort to achieve the goal of ‘CheongeuiTonsu’. In the following, on the basis such research context and the discourse of migration, we will examine the real creative sense of Chunwon and raise the inspiration ofthe Yujeong fromthe individual level to the national level, so as to reveal the significance ofthe discourse of migration
