김남천의 ‘고발문학론’과 ‘유다’론의 행방 - 1930년대 경향 비평의 궤적과 그 의의를 살피기 위한 또 하나의 시론

Abstract

This is a study on the criticism of Korean critic Kim, Namcheon. He was one of the main critics of KAPF(Korea Artista Proletariat Federatio), but after the dissolution of KAPF with the oppression of Japanese Imperial controlling power, he couldn't but help have a job to write, that is to create novel or write criticism. So he presented a critical catch phrase named 'the literature of accusation', that is an article titled 'a spirit of accusation and the writer'. And after that article, he presented again another article titled 'the thing of Judas and Literature', I think, that article has a brilliant and peculiar meaning context. Because he presented a special vision as a Bolshevik or Marxist-Leninist to see over the international horizon of literature from the view of Comparative Literature. As You Know it, 'Confession' or 'Self-Accusation' was a main motive power to create modern literature, that is modern novel. And 'Self-criticism' was one of the main executive committee meeting procedure of Communist Party, so the critic, Kim, Namcheon's very peculiar proposal to create the literature of 'Self-Accusation' should be estimated for an unique and memorable critical catch phrase having an universal persuasive power from the Comparative Literature Study vision of today, I think.
