1980년대 논픽션 양식과 소설 개념의 재편 과정 연구

Abstract

The politics of literature in 1980’s are not limited to the layer of radical message exposedsimply on the surface of the text. As the form of writing from the bottom and traditionalliterary form are conflicted and negotiated, we’ll find the politics in contemporaryliterature rather than reconstruct the concept of elite ‘literature’ considered naturally fromthe previous period. Especially, existing research literature in the 1980s disclosed limits ofnot deviating a view of elitism literature, it needs more attention that the tend of settingthat ‘internal’ and ‘external’ side of literature are cut off each other exists. The appearance that Jeon Taeil, Seok Jeongnam write ‘novel’ in this awareness of issuesprovides very important implications. Their texts belong to a form like non-fiction of manipulationin elitism meaning. However, they call the texts ‘novel’ and question the conceptof the traditional novel. Their questioning is embodied by so-called ‘Hakchul’ writerssuch as Hong Huidam, Bang Hyeonseok, etc. Hong Huidam and Bang Hyeonseok reconstructthe concept of the existing novel by using a strategy to dispose the concept ofthe canonized novel and a strategy to make writing from the bottom be osmotic pressureto the concept of the traditional novel. This performance is significant in that case that thepolitics of literature in the 1980s were demonstrated at the point of changing ‘literature’ itself.
