주체사상 시기 북한 ‘조국해방전쟁주제작품’의 역사적 변모양상 - 1960~1990년대 북한 서정시를 중심으로 -

Abstract

In order to have a clear and concrete view the aspect where the Korean War has been given different interpretation and judgment depending on the times, it is effective to analyze the various aspects of the Korean War embodied in the literary works based on historical context. Under the circumstances, this study probed into the correlation between historical facts and literary interpretations of the Korean War based on North Korea’s socialist literary works ‘on National Liberation War Theme.’ At the first era, North Korea has selected a new revolutionary line of party, “the economic construction and the defense construction shall be developed in parallel,” and through the active creation of “theme work of Great Fatherland Liberation War,” North Korea tended to reinforce the business of revolutionary campaign about the public. For this, the “war hero” has been made, and the “war story” has been made to dramatize the war memory. At the second era, North Korea has selected the reinforcement of revolutionary campaign and hierarchical campaign toward youth of a new generation as a new policy of party, and through the active creation of “theme work of Great Fatherland Liberation War,” North Korea has tended to firmly prepare them to be the military backup. Furthermore, as a method of collectivization of “regular citizen”, North Korea has “fully possessed” the war memory. At the third era, North Korea has selected a new revolutionary line of party, promotion of “socialism of our own style,” and through the active creation of “theme work of Great Fatherland Liberation War,” North Korea tended to reinforce the business of revolutionary campaign about the public. For this, North Korea has shared the “unofficial story of war” and commemorated the “victory of war” to “summon” the war memory. In conclusion, the author could confirm the dominant and formal characteristics and the unification of ideological, nationalistic, and political positions toward Korea War by North Korean society. Therefore, when the conventional dominant memory is disassembled through the “pluralization of memory” to be de-ideologized, de-nationalized, and de-politicized, the memory of North Korea and the memory of South Korea about Korean Wave may be converged, and the global universality may be obtained.
