ABSTRACT

This study is on three serial novels written by Kim Dong-in during the Japanese colonial rule and interpreted their embodying female characters by connecting them with the political status as well as social and cultural discourses of the time. The study especially focuses on 'modern women' and 'Kim Myeong-sun' who was a real person to examine the political significance of discourse on modern women of the time. Kim Dong-in's memoirs and the concept of 'misogyny' were employed in order to effectively explain the identity of 'Kim Dong-in' as 'colonial rule-male-an intellectual writer' as well as the perspective on women, and it is figured out that such discourse like 'wicked women(femme fatale)=modern women' developed by men of the colonial Joseon is closely associated with the feudal patriarch, discourse on women during the period of modern enlightenment and nationalism of the end of Japanese colonization era. The 2nd generation literary women who appeared after the suppressed and buried 1st generation literary women became again in collusion with militarism to return back to 'maternalism' and the position of 'mother', effectively showing collusion of patriarchy and fascism.
