문학개념의 역사적 재구성과 노동자 글쓰기－1830~1850년대 프랑스 노동자들의 텍스트와 전태일의 유고에 대한 비교연구 시론－

Abstract

The 1830-1850’s of France can be seen as a prime era of working class writing, as many laborers produced various types of texts. Starting with the July Revolution in 1830, French laborers began to build their own independent political power and during this process, they absorbed numerous studies and cultural art discussions upon the previous French society, subjectify it in many methods and ways. The process in which the French laborers become the principal actor of realization is equivalent with the process in which they themselves become the main actor of writing. However the texts which French laborers have produced at this time of era shows variety, in that they show mythical imagination and dichotomous class struggling ideologies. Such pluralistic and even mutually heterogeneous characteristics of laborer texts have close relationships with the modern historical reconstitution of literature conception which derived from the collapse of previous classicism literature concepts, also having its correlation with sociology and the cornerstone of modern history. The posthumous work of the 1960s Korean laborer, Jeon Tae-il has many similarities with the texts which French laborers have produced in the mid 19th century. In other words, Jeon Tae-il’s writing of variety and difference, is converged to a research towards a new identity as a citizen, a human being and a laborer. However his fragmentary texts show various critical thinking that can not be converged under the literal socio-economical condition of a certain social rank and writing styles at the same time. That is, his work withholds the overall human relationship and portions of society. This paper proposes a hypothesis and conclusion that Jeon Tae-il’s work is a strong agent which historically reconstitutes the stature and characteristic of literature within the Korean society.
