The Conception of Modern Korea in the Work of Seo Jae-pil
Kašparová, Blanka ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Glomb, Vladimír (referee)
Seo Jae-pil was a key protagonist during the period of the Reform Movement in Korea. As he was one of the few Koreans who personally experienced life in the West, it was natural that he wanted to apply this knowledge to his own country. In order to set Seo Jae-pil in historical context, the first chapter of this thesis deals with the characterization of the time when he was born. A description of his early life is also part of the same chapter. The second chapter deals with his exile in the USA, where he took refuge, after the Gapsin Coup in 1884. The objective of the third chapter is to analyze the changes that Seo Jae-pil suggested during his stay in Korea between the years 1896 and 1898. Through these reforms Korea should have been modernized and should have ranked among the world's developed countries. The analysis of the reforms suggested by Seo Jae-pil focuses on the spheres of the political, educational, social and legal systems. This part features extracts from articles written by Seo Jae-pil and provides an analysis of them. I also pay attention to The Independent newspaper and the Independence Club, as both were founded by Seo Jae-pil during the same period, 1896-1898.
