‘여류문학전집’의 출판 배경과 여성지의 위치 - 1960~70년대 출판 문화와 관련하여

Abstract

In the 1960s, as many books as the whole era were called, the entire collection of books became popular in the publishing market, and the "literature collection" was also competitively published and consumed in such publishing trends. The statistics related to publishing in the 1960s and 1970s show that literature was the most prevalent product, and the increase in the number of highly educated female readers in general readership. This can be understood as a socio-cultural background in which a collection of women's literature and women's magazines could be published. Especially, women's magazines could be said to be ‘journalistic writers’ who provided the opportunity for ordinary readers to enjoy “literature” and participate in literary writing, and to transform literature into knowledge accessible to readers. At this time, female writers and other professional writers mediated literary and literary works as “cultural intermediaries” or “taste makers” through a variety of writing methods related to literatures such as essays and serials. The way that women's literature uses “literature” was to provide information about writing and literature through readers as well as serial novels and essays, in an easy-to-read form. Women's magazines have narrowed the distance between literature and common readers by broadening the range of writing from the reader's own literature to the 'New Women's Literary Award' system. However, female writers who have become writers have been re–tried as traditional literary institutions such as literary magazines which shows that the values of women’s literature and literature are different. In this period, women's magazines contributed to fostering female writers, but the popularity of women's magazines was not reflected in the literary field.
