친일문학 재론 - 두 개의 강박을 넘어서

Abstract

From nationalistic discourse on pro-Japanese literature to that based on Marxist post-colonial discourse, the stream of the discourses on pro-Japanese literature has been proceeded from modern position to post-modern position, and again to the position that consider both position reflectively. This has been a process of de-incantatization and de-ideologization of pro-Japanese literature. Evidently through the series of those arguments, nationalistic constraint about pro-Japanese literature has been mostly resolved, and the inclination to transform it as a medium of making another ideology, for example intention to over-determine it as a ground for "Colonial fascism discourse", has been overcome critically. Through this series of argumentative studies, the basis for the reasonable academic study on early 1940's Korean literature has been established. From now on, the efforts that positioning Korean literature of this period in the whole context of modern Korean literature is to be demanded. And when accompanied by more advanced biographical and aesthetical studies, "pro-Japanese literature" will be an object of authentically scientific study on modern Korean literature.
