여성지 독자와 서사 읽기의 즐거움 = 『女性』(1936~1940)을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to determine the way of female communication and to describe female`s taste for narratives. Also it will discuss the pleasure female readers get from reading narratives such as novels or non-fictions. To reach this aims, the paper is going to analyze the women`s magazine, Yeo-Sung(女性), which was published in 1930s. There was much interaction between literary producers(writers) and consumer(readers) through women`s magazine, more than other media form. It is because, in the case of women`s magazine, the editors have to be more conscious about female readers` taste for narratives. The study would reach the following conclusions. First, non-fiction is the favorite narrative form of female readers. Actually, a certain narrative can become a non-fiction through a special device such as using the first-person narrator or real name. Diary and letters, which use these devices, also can belong to non-fiction. Editors of Yeo-Sung(女性) tended to carry diary or letters of unknown readers or professional writers. By reading non-fiction narratives, such as diary or letters, women readers can get intensive fantasy as if they are one of the characters in the narratives. They sympathize with the other women, thinking that the story is a `real` thing. Another conclusion is each novel, which was written by a professional writer, reflected and satisfied directly or indirectly the desires of two different female groups-women of upper classand women of lower class. While female students and house wives belonged to upper class, waitressesand(女給) and gisaengs(妓生), who were neglected in society, belonged to lower class women. They consisted the readers of Yeo-Sung(女性). Through the experience of reading novels, female readers could get pleasures depending on their own class but editors of Yeo-Sung(女性) carried the narratives that were suitable for general women`s preference. Therefore, the difference or conflict between two groups of female readers wasn`t a conspicuous thing.
