ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the emergence of counter-collective memory of Gyeyu-jeongnan and the relevant political conflicts with Sejo’s throne during the reigns of King Seongjong and Yonsangun. After Sejo acceded to the throne, many people were punished for spreading the rumors to criticize political legitimacy of King Sejo. This is an evidence to show how negatively people thought at the time for Sejo’s throne. Many stories to criticize the Sejo’s reign has been handed down across the generation, and at last Seongjong’s sagwan(court-diarist historians) recorded them on sacho(historical drafts), which led to Muosawha, purge of 1498. The Danjong’s political followers retired to hermitage in the mountain after the young king was dethroned and maintained their political status in the rural areas. ‘Eungue’(隱居, Hermitage) is the most common way of expressing their political resistance to King Sejo. The author argues these movements has persistingly influenced in shaping counter-collective memory of Joseon Dynasty and revitalized the sprit whenever political transitions came, especially, in the King Sukjong’s reign.
