단재와 국초의 자리

Abstract

In this article, I mainly focused on “Danjae's Narrative Works” and “Gukcho's Narrative Works” written in the korean modern enlightment period. Danjae, along with Gukcho, renewed narrative literature of the korean modern enlightenment period. Danjae, however, had starkly different mentality and expression methods from Gukcho. In this article, I tried to make value of the literary position of the two narratives works in the korean modern enlightenment period. In this article, I closely examined “Vision Heaven(하늘)”, “Fierce Battle of Dragon to Dragon(龍과 龍의 大激戰)”, and “Bitter Tears(血의 淚)”, “Silver world(銀世界)” published on the newspapers in the Korean modern enlightenment period. As a result, I presented one assertion : “Danjae's Narrative Works” as a traditional literary form resisted western modernity ideology. In short, Danjae described ‘ethnicity and nationalism ideology’ as the best value through narrative style of the previous period called Mongyurok. In the meantime, Gukcho's Narrative was not the narrative works that literally confirmed Confucian ideology and conventionalism, but the one that changed into the style that exposed ‘(western) modernity’ to rescue the nation and ethnicity that became victims of colonialism and imperialism.
