카프 문인들의 전향과 대응의 논리－임화와 김남천을 중심으로

Abstract

In most of previous studies, conversion is judged as due from external pressure. But this view fails to notice colonial intellects’ active confron- tation within their conversion. To inquire KAPF intellects’ conversion and confrontation’s logic, first of all we have to consider at that time’s social movement party’s con- version debate. In those days social movement party debate is devided to trends, ‘parallel cooperation’(평행제휴론) and ‘assimilation’(동화일체론). Parallel cooperation needs observation, because it seems to actively appropriate imperial ideology. Im-hwa and Kim Namcheon can be re- garded as this aspects. Im-hwa develops conversional logic by productive literature theory and writing literary history. His productive literature theory does not approve Fascism as new manufacture style, but only shows classical Marxist epistemology. His literary history also aims to inquire at that time’s KAFP writers’ ‘disunion of subject’ by recognizing organizingly Chosun’s colonial modernity. In this process Im-hwa implode imperial ideology, ‘new-system idea’(신체제론) and ‘Daedonga-gongyonggun’(대동아공영권). Kim Namcheon develops conversional logic by denying ‘Oriental idea’(동양론) and expropriating Balzac. He denies ‘Oriental idea’, which is imperial ideology, can even exist and by maintaining world historical universality, he overcomes at that time’s ‘Daedonga-gongyonggun’. By expropriating Balzac, he denies writer as ‘Kukmin’(국민), which is ‘Kukmin-literature’(국민문학)s main premise. In this process Kim Nam- cheon changes institution of topic enforced by empire. Im-hwa by imploding imperial ideolgy, Kim Namcheon by changing institution of topic by empire, they show their unique conversional logic. They fought their way with the empire and made their conversional theory. Their struggle was highest intellectual achievement possible at that time, so it can be highly valued.
