Abstract

This article is drafted as the critique on War and Scheme of Literary Art of North Korea and Aesthetic Foundation and Cultural Re-organization of Literary Art of North Korea after the War that are published by ‘ South and North Korean Literature & Arts Research Society’. First is the earlier mentioned book. The theorists contemplate critically on how formation and flow of socialism construction of North Korea through war and revolution in the aspect of the ‘media perspective’ under the position of search for truth based on facts. Subject of study embraces the poetry and novels related to war and revolution, leaflets scattered around the front and rear base, ‘Cultural Maneuvering Unit’ and ‘Battle line Music Unit’ that enhances the mind set for combat, patriotism and hatred against enemy, indiscrete bombing of the US military, inhumane biological warfare and others. The characteristics of these articles show the dimensional display of the life style, ideologies, literary art of North Korea during the Korean War and the recovery period before and after the War based on the primary data and various texts. In addition, they objectively review on noble patriotism and spirit of sacrifice of people and soldiers of North Korea for the socialist revolution with the victory in the War and how the internationalism of the Soviet and China that allied with North Korea in the War has taken the place thereafter. Next is the second book. The keywords of this book are ‘socialist realism’ and ‘Prospect of Communism’. The theorists focused on displaying the process of purge of the KAPF lines and Namrodang (South Chosen Labor Party) following literature men after the War and the reasons behind it. The main method is to display the scheme of the literacy journals and clarify the adverse evaluation and cause of deletion on the works of applicable writers. In addition, the issues involving the prospect of communism’ are viewed through the issues of feminine culture and nurturing of war orphans, removal of coarse voice in the music industry, and literature of poet Baek Seok and the purge status. The attention is given to the development of childhood literature and scientific novels under the socialism, but the critical aspect is to display the process of birth and settlement of revolution tradition on anti-Japan armed struggle by Kim, Il-sung, and ensuing anti-Japan literature through detailed works, memoirs and the like.
