Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the strategy that literary men from 'Chungmunhyup' used in medias to gain a leading position in the literary circles in the late 1940's and 1950's. After the liberation, literary groups played the major roles in setting a new direction of Korean literature. Various magazines were published by the groups to demonstrate their own literary discourses. It is the reason that literary magazines could be a major texts to reveal the aspect of the struggles of discourses in the literary field at the time. Literary men from 'Chungmunhyup' could gain a leading position in literary field in the late 1940's and 1950's, not because of the success in the struggles of discourses, but because of the political situations. 'Soon-soo', the major symbol of the 'Chungmunhyup' became a major symbol of the Korean literature itself, after the left-wing writers were driven out of the literary circles after the foundation of the new government of South Korea. After that, literary men from 'Chungmunhyup' gained a leading position again by taking seats in 'Yesul-won', defeating men from other circles. Moon-ye and Hyundae-munhak, literary magazines they published, played major parts in making those accomplishments.
