ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to get the integrated viewpoint that presume gisaeng(geisha) as the subject of writing and enjoying Saseol-sijo. For this, this study considers the social and economic context of prevalence of Saseol-sijo first, and how the adult entertainment space is described in Saseol-sijo. And Using Luce Irigaray's concept of 'gaze', this study analyzes the narrator's character in Saseol-sijo works which sing love and sexual love. From this, We know that ‘the female gaze’ is fundamentally opposite to ‘the male gaze’, so the former cannot be reduced to the latter. Through discussion like this, We also infer gisaeng(geisha)’s having played a role in the writing and enjoying Saseol-sijo works in which woman narrator sing a love and sexual love. To clarify this inference is reasonable, this paper compares Saseol-sijo and Yuefu-min’ge in Ming dynasty of China.
