민족적 서사를 통한 ‘용소년’ 만들기 -사회주의 소년운동가 고장환의 『쿠오레』번역을 중심으로

Abstract

Children’s novel Cuore was written in Italian, which set "Shaping Italians" as the subject. It is a children's novel created during the development of the nationalist movement, reflecting the consciousness of Italian nationalism. In modern South Korea, it was introduced by a young activist who created modern children’s literature. In the modern transition period, Bang Jung-hwan and Lee Jung-ho, who started the youth movement with nationalist consciousness, and Ko Jang-hwan, who started the youth movement with socialist consciousness, were the acceptors of Cuore. Therefore, both nationalist and socialist camps accepted this work. Since the subjects who accept Cuore are the pioneers in the development, “Cuore tendency” has become an important feature of modern Korean children's literature. Ko Jang-hwan is a young socialist activist, but he chose and translated the national consciousness work of The Story of the Month. In the translation of Cuore by socialist activist Ko Jang-hwan, ethnic orientation was a vital text to illustrate the characteristics of South Korean acceptance on Cuore. Therefore, this paper takes this translation as the research object. This study reviews the original version of Ko Jang-hwan's Cuore translation and examines the reception characteristics through the differences between the reference version and the original version. It is concluded that although Ko Jang-hwan was a youth activist who participated in the socialist youth movement, his translation of Cuore promoted national consciousness and depicted the image of “brave youth”.
