1980년대 공동창작농민시의 민중미학과 정치성 연구

Abstract

This study is a study on co-created farmers’ poetry that newly emerged in the 1980s. Through research on the background of the rise of co-creation poems and the methodology of co-creation poems, as well as by reading concrete works, this study tried to reveal how ‘politics’ in literature is embodied in co-creation farmer’s poems. In addition, through this, it tried to examine how Minjung literature can be connected to the aesthetic aspect. In the 1980s, intellectuals began to recognize the limits of depicting the poor lives of the people, and the people themselves needed themselves a literary tool to capture their experiences and stories. This mutual necessity made it possible for the two different classes to meet each other in literature through co-created farmer’s poems. In addition, as slogans and values ​​of the 1980s, ‘democracy’ and ‘democratization’ began to be advocated as slogans in literature. The literary creation methodology that was experimented with in order to realize the ‘democracy of literature’ where anyone can produce and enjoy works was co-created farmers’ poetry. The most important thing in co-created peasant poems is that farmers directly appeared as subjects of literature. This subject can give a greater meaning to the fact that he became a subject not only as a literary enjoyer but also as a producer. Appearing as a subject in literature and starting to tell their story can be said to be a part of acquiring political character in literature. If the meaning of literature is to represent the story of life and the story of a group, these works, which call themselves farmers by their proper language, draw their own goals, and accuse the absurdity and problems of reality, are also professional writers. Even if it is not their creation, it can be seen as being able to acquire sufficient literary value. And this is also a point from which the possibility of minjung aesthetics can be measured. Writers who pursued popular literature were able to discover the lively field language that existed as an element of deficiency for them, the language of the people living their lives, and confirmed that it could be practiced as literature. The vividly expressed stories of farmers were embodied in poetry, which made them newly aware of the aesthetics in popular literature, which was recognized as a limitation at the time.
