해방 전후 북한체제에서의 강소천 아동문학 연구

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the Awareness of the literature of Gang, So-cheon in North Korea directly after the liberation(1945～1950). Gang, So-cheon had written juvenile poetry from the 1930's Japanese colonial period, when the socialism literature arose. Socialism children’s literature by KAPF was prevalent at this period. However, socialism children’s literature by KAPF was nothing other than others' discourse. During this period, world of his works was compilation of others discourse, based on lyricism which also includes Ethnic discourse. After liberation, Gang, So-cheon developed his literary Subject without being synchronized by the socialism which the North Korean regime demanded at the time. This can be understood in the same method, which he compiled the 1930's socialism literature of KAPF in a lyrical way, confronting the reality by sensual juvenile poetry. Hence, just after the liberation, so-called 'Peaceful democratic construction period', the discourse structure that composed the Awareness of the literature of Gang Socheon was a duplication of the discourse structure of North Korea Literature and Art Chongdongmaeng. It was a lot different from the 'Noble realism', the North Korean socialism discourse. In other words, It was a mere learned worldview of Others. Thus, there is a distinct difference between his literature in the Japanese colonial period and the peaceful democratic construction period. It is the difference of discourse former which composes the Literary Subject. The discourse former is a lyrical compilation of Ethnic discourse, while the latter is a duplication of the discourse of North Korea Literature and Art Chongdongmaeng. Thus, it can be considered that he developed his original Literary Subject by lyrically compiling or reproducing others discourse and censoring the subject.
