즉각적 노예 해방을 향한 수사와 행동주의 －엘리자베스 헤이릭의 사례－ = The Rhetoric and Activism Toward the Immediate Emancipation: The Case of Elizabeth Heyrick

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an attempt to investigate the discourse of slavery of Elizabeth Heyrick in the frame of ‘rhetorical aspect’ and ‘activism’. More specifically, it was focused on the ideological background of ‘Immediate Abolition’ Elizabeth Heyrick supported and the union and activity of some Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Societies. ‘Immediate Emancipation’ of Heyrick was noteworthy in that point bold challenge against the policy of ‘Mitigation and Gradual Abolition’ that had been adopted by the National Anti-Slavery Society in Britain at its foundation in 1823. I tired to seek the meaning of the ‘Immediatism’, the solidarity with the Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Societies and the role and significance of Heyrick in the British Anti-Slavery Movement rather than focusing on as a feminist or a radical. This includes the tensions among various factors, such as politics, economy, religion, gender, race and so on. As a result, the language of Heyrick will be revealed revolutionary rhetoric beyond the rhetoric of religion and gender demanded to women in Britain. In short, the cooperation with Heyrick and some regional Ladies’ Societies had played an important role that could grow up the Activism of Immediate Abolition and afterward Feminism.
