“虛假文人”現象--儒家美學范式在朝鮮后期藝術社會學里的意義和价値 = Pseudo-literati Phenomenon ―the Significance and Values of the Paradigm of Confucian Aesthetics in the Late Joseon Dynasty

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Owing to material prosperity and a long peaceful reign without any troubles both at home and abroad since the 18th century, there appeared the “involution“ phenomenon of Confucian ideology in the late Joseon dynasty. From a comprehensive point of view, such an involutionary phenomenon in Confucian ideology can be said to be mirrored by the stream of the art history of those times. This stream of sociology of art in the late Joseon dynasty can be considered as the process of “deconstruction→release→degradation.” The stage of deconstruction is applicable to the brush of Jeong Seon and Shim Sa-jeong. However, the meaning of deconstruction in the paintings of Jeong Seon and Shim Sa-jeong is not “demolition” but “collapse.” In other words, they have not intentionally deconstructed Confucian ideology or the standards of Confucian aesthetics with a noble spirit; on the contrary, the spirit of the times or Confucian ideology collapsed due to the accumulated contradictions of the times and socio-economical surplus prosperity.
