Abstract

There was a crack occurred on the formula that Joseon Literature equals to Modern Literature(Western Literature) and Joseon Literature had to re-build its status in the order of new world history represented with the ‘modern=oriental’ idea in the symptom of strengthening global fascism system and falling of capitalism system during the term of all-out mobilization for wartime in the late the Japanese colonial period, due to the distrust of modernity itself which has been on a rise in terms of both world and oriental history. At that time, the litterateur of colonial Joseon developed various discussions for newly establishing Joseon Literature within the cultural boundary of the Empire of Japan. There were different and various points of crack which is not simply applied as ‘center-empire-Japan’ and ‘local-colony-Joseon’ existed, e.g. settling Joseon Literature as a local component of Japanese Literature, discussing on that Joseon Literature may change of ‘national literature’, and positioning Joseon Literature as a local component of world literature by not limiting it within a local component of Japanese Literature. The discussions were the measures for newly establishing the status of Joseon Literature in the Japanese colonial period in the course of reorganization of regional order in East Asia as well as the course of a struggle for securing cultural hegemony in the empire-colony system.
