한국전쟁과 아동문학․1 －이원수의 전쟁 트라우마와 「꼬마 옥이」－

Abstract

The Korean War greatly changed the geography of children’s literary history as Korea was divided into two. Kang So-cheon, who fled to the south during the war, led a new trend, but on the other side, Lee Won-soo worked on creating a whole different trend. The two writers revealed decisive differences in works that remembered the Korean War. Therefore, studies that make comparative reviews of the two writers from a literature history perspective are highly needed, but in reality, there are insufficiencies in keynote studies on the stories of the writers and bibliographies of the works. Particularly in the case of Lee Won-soo, even the bibliographical issues of his major works are unclear. Therefore, this study is a preliminary study for follow-up research and it focuses on basic investigations to scrutinize the text issues Lee Won-soo’s representative work from the 1950s 「Kkoma Oki」. In result, it was found that 「Kkoma Oki」 was not a ‘long series’ but a ‘collection of series’ completed by gathering stories published on various papers over many years, and it was also revealed that they were tied in like a spider web with the numerous long and short stories of the writer. 「Kkoma Oki」 was a symbolic and representative work for the writer who had severe war trauma. A type of discontinuity appears in the process of publishing this series, and it was found that it was deeply related to the double oppression of the ‘anti-communist’ mood of the time and the ‘sense of guilt’ within the author.
