한국사 교과서 조선시대 신분제 서술의 함의와 오류

Abstract

The contents of the status system of the Joseon Dynasty described in Korean history textbooks did not change much for a long time. The main narrative underlying it was the dissolution of the status system due to the rapid increase in yangban. This is the logic of accepting the internal development theory that the medieval society transitions to the modern society through the dissolution of the land ownership system and the status system. Nevertheless, textbooks vaguely described the relationship with the status system by defining the Joseon Dynasty as a society that was one step more advanced than the middle ages. Recent textbooks reserved the division of times and used the expression of agitation rather than the collapse of the status system to relieve meaning. However, they did not accept the academic research results that the rapid increase in yangban and the background were errors. Overcoming the delay between academic research and textbook descriptions, there is a need for a narrative change that pays more attention to the social changes that occurred in the process of liberation and growth of the lower classes, including nobi(slaves).
