A Study of the Development and the Value of the ‘Praiseworthy Stories’ of Catholic Church in Kyeong Hyang Magazine Yun-sun Kim (Korea University) This paper examines the development phases of the so-called "praiseworthy stories" published during the Patriotic Enlightenment Period, the Japanese colonial era up to 1950s (1900s~1950s), in Kyeong Hyang, an iconic magazine of Korean Catholicism. We will look into the relevant historical materials in an attempt to ascertain their historical values. The magazine is currently the journal of Bishop’s Meeting and also holds the title of the longest ‘running’ magazine in Korea. The stories were originally being published in the ‘serial novels’ column of a daily newspaper, Kyeong Hyang Newspaper. The column was placed in the front page as the novels contained in it were regarded as important writings that would enlighten people by making them aware of social problems. When the column was disconnected due to the censorship of the colonial government, the column changed to appear of in the above- mentioned Kyeong Hyang Magazine of Catholic church, now purporting to enlighten Catholic followers. In total 274 ‘praiseworthy stories’ were introduced over 231 times in the Kyeong Hyang Magazine from January 1911 through June 1957. The material gathered showed that the 1910s were the nascent period of the ‘praiseworthy stories.’ The ensuing 1920s were the period of development, 1930s the period of maturity, and 1940s the receding period. The period between 1928~1932 was its golden period. Writings touching on France appeared frequently, indicating the close relationship between the French and Korean Catholics. Kyeong Hyang introduced 11 ‘praiseworthy stories’ over 12 times by adding a column concerning 'the persecution era' for a period from January till May 1929. Those ‘praiseworthy stories’ depicted religious lives of martyrs of the Chosun Dynasty during the Byeongin period (1831) as well as the Catholic persecution. The Catholic ‘praiseworthy stories’ became the indigenous stories of the people of the dynasty. It lead to Eunwha, a story dealing with catholic persecution and martyrdom. ‘Praiseworthy stories’ are symbolic in that they denote the beginning of the Catholic literature in Korea and its repository of faith in God. The stories gave birth to various catholic narrative forms, one of which is the Catholic inculturation.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
