Abstract

The purpose of this paper focuses on the study of, choi yeon-tak(崔演澤), a yadam(野談) publisher during the 1920s∼1930s. I examined that he had belonged to a right-wing intellectual who accepted Self–Help in colonial Korea. The contents of yadam published by Choi yeon-tak, was related to his intellectual background. As you already know, he was a member of munchangsa(文昌社), the family-owned publisher which had been founded in the early 1920s. I found that munchangsa had been founded by choi yeon-tak in 1921. munchangsa divided into two new publishers. samgonsa(三共社) and doungsoyngdansojeom(東盛堂書店) was founded by two publishers choi yeon-tak and choi young-tak(崔永澤) in 1938. It is important that samgongsa succeeded munchangsa. I examined that the contents of a yadam book, “east and west, past and present(『東西古今』)” published by choi yeon-tak in 1922 and a magazine yadam, “record of yadam campaign(『野談大會錄』)” in 1938. I found that there are stories originated in the modern western countries and Japan. As I said before, Choi yeon-tak had belonged to a right-wing intellectual who accepted Self–Help in colonial Korea. The contents of that originated in the modern western countries and Japan related to his intellectual background. I focus on that modern yadam materials published by choi yeon-tak were written in the stories of western countries and Japan during the age of modern. In conclusion, It was used by Choi yeon-taek, a colonial intellectual to propagate a discourse of one’s personal success using a value of Self-help.
