문학창작 지원 정책 연구－문화예술위원회, 서울문화재단, 대산재단을 중심으로

Abstract

The goal of the culture and arts support policies can be divided into diverse aspects such as the activation of creative activities, the expansion of the bases of culture and arts, the activation of cultural exchanges, the formation of local communities, the enhancement of national images, and increases in the economic value of culture. In the case of South Korea, the final task of culture and arts support policies has been specified as ‘the construction of a cultural country brand’. In this article, cases of support and the present situation were examined focusing on literary creation support policies. The data utilized in the study are the reports on the present situation and results of support for creation of the Korean Culture and Arts Committee, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture under the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and the Daesan Cultural Foundation, which is a public interest foundation, and the individual institutions were determined on the basis of the representativeness of the state, local governments, and public interest foundations. Existing studies on culture and arts support policies have conducted historical reviews of the formation of policies, collected basic data including the understanding of the present situation of the system, presented the present situation of culture and arts support policies of various countries and groping for future directing points. However, the significance of this article can be found in that studies should be concentrated on concrete and individual policies. Based on the results of identifying the present situations of support for literary creation by individual organizations, problems such as the lack of consistency of support, the uncertainty of examinations, the lack of management schemes after support were pointed out. As proposals for the foregoing, statistical processing of support policies, diversification of examiner pools, and the construction of communities of artists who have benefited from support policies were derived. The fact that the samples were not sufficiently wide-ranged due to the limit of reference data is a limitation of this article as well as a task of future studies.
