5․16군사정권과 김정한 소설의 내적 모랄 - 미발표작 『자유에의 길』을 통해 본 내적 분열과 자기 검열에 대하여

Abstract

Jeong-han Kim's unpublished and unfinished works, 『The road to freedom』(tentatively named), is a novel about the autobiographical experience right after the military coup. Jeong-Han Kim was arrested for his left-wing career in the past shortly after the military coup, and he was dismissed as a professor at Pusan National University. This novel has a very important significance in that it is based on the temporal background. Because any description of the 5․16 military regime can not be found in the existing Kim Jeong-han's novels. In his novel, criticism of the ruling empire, liberation, and the regime of Syngman Rhee, who oppress the people of lower classes by taking the land, can be easily found. On the other hand, there was no criticism of the military regime. The criticism of the reality of suppressing the people of the people under the name of 'modernization' was embodied only, and there was no direct criticism of the military regime. This is a distinct phenomenon distinct from his novelistic shaping of the Japanese and Rhee regimes. In short, 『The road to freedom』 is an important text that reveals the perplexity of the writer's inner crack and self-censorship as a result of the ethical turn in front of the military regime.
