Abstract

After April Revolution and May 16 coup, korean society is reorganized in terms of economy. Slogan of overcoming poverty and economic growth was working for home administration policy, which connected with the Third World countries economy alliance, works out the immanent development theory But it is the economy that control the korean society in effect. Loans form America, West germany, and Japan drive korean government and people be economic subjects, and take over the unbalanced growth model. These changes were from W. W. Rostow's idea and policy which exercised a lot of influence over Korea. It means that Korea transfer into World System. As the slogan of “the year of labor” was adopted by government in 1965, the concept of austerity, consumption, and honest labor was spreaded national widely and rosy prospects that the mass consumption society be realized in 1970 was given in everyday life and the literature. But change of the economic condition made that prospects impossible, so the discourses of the hobby, leisure, and taste was changed and the literary presentation was furcated in 1970s. Some korean fictions in 1960∼70’s did not show the labor ethics that the labor have to be a part of the national economy, but represented art awareness which have subversive intend against the social order in fictions of the artist, that suggest ideological labor ethics in “A Short Biography of Yuja”(「유자약전」). And discourses of the taste, or leisure emerged in the late 1960. the taste was regarded as a reward for ideological labor and a evidence of the advent of a mass production and mass consumption society which will greatly change our value systems. Accordingly some fiction showed the possibility of the subject of taste such as “The Pilgrim”(「순례자」), “A Weekend Trip”(「주말여행」). A main interest of “The Pilgrim” is the housing, which had raised as a taste at the time. the young character demands a ‘sweet home’ and dreams some nice taste in the new house. “A Weekend Trip”(「주말여행」) is a narrative of the middle class’s trip taste. They want a weekend trip as the western modernity. Although their trip ended in failure, the failure means that they have the inner side and internalized consumption conditions
