경쟁하는 잡지들, 확산되는 문학 (2) - 1930년대 『중앙』과 『사해공론』, 『조광』의 사례 -

Abstract

In this paper, I have analyzed general magazine Joongang(中央), Shahaikonglon(四海公論) and Joguang(朝光) in the 1930s with a view of the apparatus of literary marketplace. This paper is also follow-up paper that analyzed Shindonga(新東亞), Samchuly(三千里) and The Criticism(批判) with such a view. Literatures was as important as political discourse(政論) in general magazines throughout the colonial era of Korea. That's because of the effect of political and economical pressure to general magazines. In other words, that was the result of censorship and competition. Notable facts is that general magazines in the 1930s tried to secure their position in literary marketplace by showing off the traits. Therefore we should not understand general magazines only by functioning as a stable physical foundation of the growth and continuity of literature. We need to be interested not only in general relationship between literature and general magazines but also general magazines' concrete relationship around literature. Because it is to understand a power source that worked the literary marketplace to boom in the mid to late 1930s. At this time the key of understand of general magazines in the colonial era of Korea is to grasp the double pressure of censorship and competition. I emphasized such a point once again in this paper.
