북한의 야담장르 인식과 야담선집 출간

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparison of classical concepts commonly used by the two Koreas on the premise that an integrated comparative study of literature is needed in preparation for the era of unification of the Korean Peninsula. To this end, we tried to proceed with the discussion by selecting a literary genre called 'Yadam' jointly used by the two Koreas. Therefore, it was intended to examine the tendency and composition characteristics of the collection of works for the 『Joseon Middle Ages Yadam Collection』(1-6), among the Yadam collections published in North Korea. The results of this study are summarized as follows. In the history of North Korean literature, Yadam was recognized as a subtype of folktale. Since a unified view on the concept of genre was not drawn, no discussion was discussed in terms of the development of the myth, but it did not deal with works after 『Eu-Woo yadam』. However, through the recent publication of North Korea's "Yadam" translation and "Yadam" expulsion book, it can be seen that "Yadam" is dealt with in the history of North Korean literature in a connection with "Recording Literature," which deviates from the subtype of folk tales. This seems to be related to the South's trend of Yadam research, and it can be said to be a kind of cultural project to recognize and actively utilize the effectiveness of Yadam literature within North Korea. From the 『Joseon Middle Ages Yadam Collection』, they maintain an active attitude of compilation from the perspective of 1) realistic lessons and edification of the people, not Kiidam. 2) The focus is on enhancing the public understanding of the work through simple translation of Chinese characters. 3) Sometimes the stimulating part of the work is excluded through active addition and deletion. Through this method, Yadam tends to be highlighted as a major genre in the history of North Korean literature, which will serve as a basis for judging that North Korea is giving a literary historical position that serves as a link to novel literature.
