오빠들이 떠난 자리 －전향의 시대, 임순득·지하련의 사회주의 관련 소설 연구－

Abstract

Im Sun-deuk and Ji Ha-ryeon are contemporary writers who were born in colony and were active as an author starting from the end of colony after passing through secondary education and studying in Japan in the mid-to-late 1920s and the early 1930s. They are being newly examined just recently after having received very little attention in the meantime. It is a fact that those women were strongly influenced by their elder brothers who are socialists. But there is a need to recognize even a point that the women themselves were also the main agents with the experience of the socialist movement. Given taking note of this, it is possible to interpret their works slightly differently from the previous researches of having understood that a female narrator in the position of observer exposes the critical perception of men who were converted. This writing was analyzed what the critical gaze they cast on their brothers in their work directly corresponds to the criticism & disillusionment and to the compassion & introspection with regard to themselves as those who had been in the position of ‘potential convert,’ In this respect, the women can be understood as authors who had shown the minimal ethical reflection with suffering from a position of conversion in the period when conversion was compelled, not the alternative subjects of being binary-opposition to men(masculinity).
