전후의 시작과 진보진영의 전쟁책임 문제 — ‘정치와 문학’ 논쟁을 중심으로 —

Abstract

The writers of the left wing, who opposed the Japanese Communist Party’s political-first literary policy that says literature should serve in the revolutionary movement, point to the fallacy of the Japanese Communist movement as an internal cause of the dissolution of the NAPL and the consequent movement. Thus, the “political and literary” debate has come to include the perception that the writers’ alliance was dissolved because of the problems of the front, namely the wrong literary policy of the Communist Party, resulting in the writers’ cooperation in the war. Standing at the starting point of the postwar era, the “modern literature” drivers tried to avoid activities based on “loyalty and partisanship to the classes” and open the way for writers to serve in the post-war democratic revolution as existential subjects. And they found a way to overcome the dark self-experience in literature, which stood in existential self-awareness. They judged that literature was the only way to achieve post-war democratic challenges, and that it would lead their way to the end without turning again, without being defeated, without losing.
