초록

신문화 운동의 핵심 인물인 천두슈가 이룩한 업적이 한두 가지가 아니지만 그 가운데에서도 종합잡지 『신청년』을 창간하고 그 잡지를 통하여 서구 문학 작품을 번역하여 중국에 소개한 번역가로서의 업적도 뛰어나다. 천두슈는 일본 유학을 거쳐서 서구 문물을 접하게 되며, 근대개념 유입의 주요 경로인 ‘번역’이라는 형식을 빌려 새롭고 다양한 사상을 중국에 전파하는 데 힘을 기울인다. 그에게 있어, 번역은 사상을 흡수하며 새로운 시대의 좌표를 설정하고, 더 나아가 전반적으로 문화의 가치와 전망을 열어 줄 문명 이식(移植)의 통로였던 것이다. 특히, 천두슈의 계몽적 열정은 번역을 통한 여성해방으로 이어지는데 본고에서는 천두슈가 1915년에 창간한 『신청년』에 번역, 소개한 작품을 검토대상으로 삼아, 사상가와 혁명가로서의 천두슈가 아닌 번역가와 여성 해방의 선각자로서의 천두슈를 재조명하고자 한다.
