『창작과비평』과 아동문학이 만나는 들머리 – 창비와 아동문학의 교섭 양상에 대한 소고(小考) –

Abstract

This discussion is meaningful as a basic work of research to examine the realist children’s literature and criticism situation triggered in "Changbi" and explore the reorganization of the Korean children’s literature field. The Korean Children’s Literature Center has been formed as a fixed theory centered on pure and full–fledged literary theory. However, since the 1970s, which arose amid the creation and differentiation of children’s literature groups, children’s literature books can be interpreted as the possibility of a new narrative. The 1960s were reorganized into pure, anti–communist, and nationalist ideas centered on the Korean Association of Humanities. And the 1970s were an era in which a series of flows, led by YI ODEOK, who was classified as a participant, were clearly detected. This discussion intercepted the beginning of the flow in 『Changbi』, which published works such as YI ODEOK’s criticism and KWON JEONGSAENG. In addition, we tried to examine the aspect of realist children’s literature at that junction. YI ODEOK, who published a review in 1974 of 『Changbi』, is considered to have played the role of an intermediary between YI WONSU, YI HYEONJU, and KWON JEONGSAENG. In 『Changbi』, which focused on the theory of national literature in the 1970s, YI ODEOK and children’s literature were captured as new areas. YI ODEOK urged 『Changbi』 to pay attention to education and children’s literature and continued close negotiations by participating in the planning of Children’s Book Changbi. If 『Changbi』 “discovered” YI ODEOK, YI ODEOK thought he would “use” 『Changbi』. As shown in Children’s Books Changbi, 『Changbi』’s media strategy for children’s literature shows a pattern that leads to the direction of national literature and world literature. However, the reinforced realist children’s literature in 『Changbi』 showed a stark difference in position from the only children’s literature critic at the time, 『CRITICISM OF KOREA A CHILDREN’S LITERATURE』. Realist children’s literature formed in 『CRITICISM OF KOREA A CHILDREN’S LITERATURE』, which led the discourse of children’s literature criticism at the same time, will be examined together. And I think it is necessary to explore the reorganization of the Korean Children’s Literature Center after the 1970s. This is because it is a new description of the history of Korean children’s literature that has been stopped in a specific era.
