다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

this paper aims to study the social construction of the family during the Japanese colonial period through the genealogical methodology. The genealogical analysis of the discourses and knowledge is expected to enable us to trace the construction process of the family which used to be regarded as the biological entity, tainted by the essentialist interpretation. Moreover. the genealogical approach can analyze the familial change during the colonial period by the perspective of ``the colonial modernity,`` which considers the colonial development as a complex process of disciplining and autonomizing. During the Japanese colonial rule we could find the dramatic increase of the discourse on child. Newspapers were flooded with the information and instructions on how to bring up the child properly, especially in health and body. The importance of disciplining and procteting the children was emphasized at the same time. And women were defined as mother in relation with the child, which is contrasted with their pivotal role as the daughter-in-law in the previous patrilineal family system. The chid and family discourses were the contested terrain of the many hegemonical powers such as Japanese colcnialism of hygiening administration, the American imperialist penetration through the medical mission, and the nationalist interest in the health of the people as a way of increasing the national force. The discourses so far redefining the familial role. Moreover, theboundary between the nuclear family and the traditional family system was solidifed with the emergence of the ``social,`` which substituted the dominance of the traditional family system for the new knowledge-power system such as medical expert system, social welfare service, and the schools, etc.
