김유영론(2)- 구인회 구상 배경과 결성 의도

Abstract

Guinhoe(nine people club) can be understood as sort of a movement in whichnot only the club's principle members but also other literary figures with diverseartistic talents interacted with each other through the club. The movement was sparkedoff when there was contradictory in the intentions of setting up Guinhoe betweenthe one circle of Kim Yu-yeong, Lee Jong-myeong, and Cho Yong-man and theanother circle of Lee Tae-jun and Cheong Ji-yong. Once Guinhoe being approached as series of movements, there should followdiscussions for the meanings attached to this movement by important figures. Inthis end, the initial thoughts for envisioning the establishment of Guinhoe by KimYu-yeong, Lee Jong-myeong, and ChoYong-man must be first studied. However, suchstudies have never been fully undertaken so far. In this aim, this paper studiedKim Yu-yeong, first. The background that led him to envision Guinhoe and his intentionto establish it were the focus of this paper. First, Kim Yu-yeong tried to go beyond the limitation that was embedded in theproletariat cinema's movement at those days; and to improve Chosun's proletariatcinema. This is the background for his envisioning for Guinhoe. Second, his intentionto establish Guinhoe emerged from his uneasiness with the contents of scenariosof Chosun's proletariat cinema. This paper suggested that Kim Yu-yeong was aimedto establish a collaboration network through Guinhoe including professional scenariowriters, translating writers (one who turns novels into cinema scenarios) and cinemadirectors who have full awareness of proletariat ideology in his/her mind. Also, itseemed that he tried to develop scenarios that reflect the real faces of Chosun's rural society.
