문단의 갱신 의지와 사적 연속성 탐구의 두 경로 -임화, 김기림, 김동리의 ‘신세대론’을 중심으로-

Abstract

The generational debate of the 1930s has been viewed as a debate over the purity of literature, and has focused on the conflict between generations. The debate has also been understood as the logic of the facts' approval of Tenno system fascism, discussed as a form of cultural response to the New-system at the end of Japanese colonial rule. However, as a result of the focus on the problem consciousness of the colonial writers in the generational debate, the concept of the 'new generation' was a kind of ideal representation that projected the will to renew the whole literay circles. This aspect stands out in the process of recognizing the location of the new generation, taking a genealogical look at the history of colonial Chosun poem. This was largely conceived through two channels: Im hwa and Kim gi-rim, who declared the end of the old era, represented the new generation through historical dialectics. However, the new generation of poetry circles, which they named, excludes Seo Jung-ju and Yoo Chi-hwan. This has a certain limit in that it was a judgment that failed to surpass the epistemological horizon of the time, which was misunderstood as having a affinity with fascism. Kim Dong-ri, on the other hand, conceived a different way of genealogy, naming them as the new generation of poerty circles. This is because he found the possibility that he could go beyond the strong logic of the New-system in his quest for a sense of life based on Nietzsche thought. Furthermore, Kim Dong-ri showed an example of literary response to the age, approaching the issue of life, a last territory that can never be colonized through doggubi(toad)
