국문 초록 (Abstract)

수용미학에서 미학 연구는 독자가 작품에 대한 수용, 반응, 독해 과정과 독자의 심미적 경험에 집중해야 하며 작가, 작품, 독자 간의 상호 소통 과정을 연구해야 한다고 주장하였다. 프랑스 작가 롤랑 바르트가 1967년에 그의 가장 유명한 논문 「작가의 죽음」을 출판하였는데 그는 작품이 완성될 때쯤이면 작가는 이미 죽었고, 나머지 문화창작은 독자에 의해 이루어진다고 보았다. 모든 독서 활동은 독자의 마음과 ‘텍스트’ 사이의 대화이며, 이 과정에서 가치가 창출되는 것이다.
기존 「홍루몽」에 대한 연구들은 대개 저자인 조설진과 「홍루몽」 텍스트 자체에 초점을 맞추고 있었다. 독자들, 특히 신세대 독자들이 「홍루몽」을 어떻게 받아들이고 해석하는지에 대한 연구가 많지 않았다. 본 논문은 독자 중의 일부인 ‘대학생’들을 대상으로 하여 「홍루몽」에 대한 신세대들의 수용 상황 및 문제 분석에 연구 중점을 두었으며 대학생들이 고전 작품에 대한 수용에 이론적 근거와 실증적 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
본 논문은 국내외 기존 연구를 바탕으로 질적 및 양적 연구를 채택하여 대학생들의 「홍루몽」 수용에 대한 연구를 전개하였다. 본 논문은 강소성에 있는 대학교 4개의 학부생 292명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, SPSS25.0, EXCEL2021 등 통계 소프트웨어를 이용하여 다원 선형회귀 및 로지스틱 회귀모형으로 조사 데이터를 처리하고 분석하였다. 대학생들이 「홍루몽」에 대한 수용 수량, 수용 방식, 수용 내용에 대해 의미 있는 특성을 파악하였고, 또한 「홍루몽」 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인도 확인적 요인 분석을 하였다.
본 연구에 의하면 대학생의 개인적 특성과 대학 수용 지원(학교 환경 및 학교 상호작용)이 「홍루몽」의 수용 정도, 즉 수용양(수용을 위한 노력)과 수용질(수용 내용, 수용 방식)에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생의 개인적 특성은 성별, 전공 등이 포함되며 학교 환경과 학교 상호작용은 대학교에서 학생들이 「홍루몽」 수용에 적극적으로 참여할 수 있도록 제공하는 지원과 서비스를 말한다. 이러한 요인들은 대학생의 「홍루몽」 수용 정도에 함께 영향을 미친다.
본 연구의 결과, 대학생들의 「홍루몽」 수용 정도와 대학교의 수용 지원 현황이 모두 낙관적이지 않다. 학생들의 「홍루몽」 수용 수량을 늘려야 하며 수용 내용 선호도와 수용 방식도 개선할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 대학생과 대학교를 위하여 「홍루몽」수용 참여도를 높이는 방법, 학교 환경을 최적화하는 방법, 수용 추천, 수용 지도, 수용 공유 상호작용을 할 수 있는 시스템 등 세 가지 면에서 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

Acceptance aesthetics proposes that “Aesthetics research should focus on the reader’s acceptance, reaction, reading process, reader’s aesthetic experience and to study the dynamic process of communication between authors, works and readers”. French writer Roland Barthes published his most famous essay “The Death of the Author” in 1967. He believes that when the work is completed, the author has died, and the rest of the cultural creation work is the right of the reader. All reading activities are a dialogue between the reader’s mind and a “text”, and value is created in this process.
At present, in the research on the theme of “A Dream of Red Mansions”, scholars at home and abroad mostly focus on the author, Cao Xueqin and the text of “A Dream of Red Mansions”. There is not much research on how readers, especially ordinary readers in the new era, accept and interpret “A Dream of Red Mansions”. The purpose of this paper is to study the acceptance of “A Dream of Red Mansions” by a special group of ordinary readers - “college students” in the new era, which will help us to provide theoretical basis and empirical data support for the classic acceptance in university.
Based on the existing research at home and abroad, this paper adopts the qualitative and quantitative research to discuss the acceptance of “A Dream of Red Mansions”by college students. This paper conducts a questionnaire survey of 292 undergraduates in 4 undergraduate universities in Jiangsu Province, and uses SPSS25.0, EXCEL2021 to process and analyze the survey data by using multiple linear regression and logistic regression models. We obtain the characteristics of college students’ participation level in accepting “A Dream of Red Mansions”,that is quantity, content and method, and conduct a research analysis on which factors affect the participation level in “A Dream of Red Mansions”.
This study found that college students’ individual characteristic factors, university support (university environment and university interaction) significantly affect the participation level in accepting “A Dream of Red Mansions”: that is, the amount of effort (quantity) and quality (content, method). The individual characteristics of college students include basic characteristics such as gender, major and so on. The university environment and university interaction are the support and services provided by the university to attract and encourage students to actively participate in the acceptance of “A Dream of Red Mansions”. These three internal and external factors jointly affect the participation level in accepting “A Dream of Red Mansions”.
The results show that the status quo is not optimistic, whether the participation level in accepting “A Dream of Red Mansions” or the support of university. The quantity needs to be increased, and the preference of acceptance content and method needs to be improved. The university’s efforts to encourage and promote students’ acceptance participation need to be strengthened. Therefore, this thesis focuses on improving the participation level in accepting “A Dream of Red Mansions”, optimizing the university environment and strengthening the trinity interactive system of acceptance recommendation, guidance and sharing. Corresponding suggestions are put forward for college students and university respectively.
