1970년대 대구・경북 지역 아동문학 연구—<한국아동문학가협회>와 <대구아동문학회>를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study how the children’s literature in Daegu-Kyeongbuk area accepted the new discourse of <The Association of Writer at Korea children’s Literature(The Association of Writer)>. As commonly known, the children’s literature in 1970s developed between the polarity of conservatism and progressivism. This was triggered by the establishment of <The Association of Writer> led by Lee Won-soo and <The Association of Korea children’s Literature(The Association)> led by Kim Young-il. After establishment, <The Association of Writer> published the organ 『Hanguk Adong munhak』the following year in september, 1972. On the other hand, <The Association> published 『Adong munhak』as their organ. In the meantime, <The Association of Writer> brought up the common touch and nature of children’s Literature to the surface. Meanwhile, Kim Sung-do became the second president of <The Society of Daegu children’s Literature>. The society expanded because of various reasons such as join of many rising authors. Although their turf was in region, they kept on their activity enthusiastically, mutually interchanging with the central children’s literary world. This is the point of departure of this study. By understanding the tendency of the local children’s literature, it could complement a feature of the Korean children’s literature. The local children’s literary world at the time was in a state of confusion about ‘common touch’. It is an instance which shows that the discussion about ‘common touch’ and ‘ethnicity’ of the children’s literature, which was brought up by <The Association of Writer>, was not accepted fully even in the association itself. Thus, although most of the authors in the region were the member of the association, discussion about the ‘common touch’ of children’s literary world could not become widespread. However, it is obvious that at the beginning of 1970s, based on the coterie awareness of <The Society of Daegu children’s Literature> where Lee Eung-chang and Kim Seung-do were working as the symbolic capital of the region, the children’s literary world in Daegu-Kyeongbuk contributed a lot to the establishment of <The Association of Writer>.
