소설로 보는『青鞜』의 아이덴티티 - 『青鞜小説集 第一』를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper investigated on what was an identity of 『Seito』. When discussing the identity of 『Seito』, no matter how commonly criticisms are quoted, novels can be the most useful text to understand what women wanted to seek out for the moment. Especially, 『Seito Works of Fiction』was a collection of special works condensing an awareness and central ideas of modern women only surpassing each work's characteristic. This tendency clearly appear in that 『Works of Fiction』preferred the works of young writers to those of existing famous ones. It indicate that 『Seito』 didn't mind the evaluation of the existing authors and literary circles and expressed what they pursued according to their own conviction. Another distinct feature of 『Seito』is its contents. The main themes of the works were the message that women should have a vocation using their talents, problems on a patriarchy and a romantic relationship and marriage based on discriminating relation between men and women. That's because the most urgent problem faced with women was the family system based on a patriarchy. It also demonstrates the real aspect of 『Seito』representing the agony, desire, demand, and question of the women in those days.
