단정 수립 후 문학 장의 변화와 이헌구의 문단회고- 자기 서사의 재구성 양상을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper is focused on the relationship between the reminiscences of Lee Hun-ku and the literary field after 1948. He restructured his self-narratives according to the circumstances and situations of the literary fields in each period from 1945 to 1960. Therefore, to review the aspects of the self-narratives is a way to grasp the process of change of the literary field at the times. Lee Hun-ku played a major role in the literary field after the election in 1948. He put his major efforts to restructure (or erase) the self-narratives about careers regarding KAPF and the activities of left wing writers in the Japanese colonial period, compared to the effort to get rid of the memories of pro-Japanese activities. By that, we can infer that the literary field after the liberation and the Korean war took issue with the former than the latter when literary people were trying to enter it. For the similar reason, Lee Hun-ku were demanded to prove that they were assure distance from left wing writers(like KAPF), and even from the neutrals or the independents in the liberation period. He set his identity as a literary person who fought against communism using the fact that he argued against Lim Hwa(a major member of KAPF), but in fact, they were debating about the right way for practicing communism in Korean peninsula. It gives a chance for us to reflect the dichotomy like 'to argue with KAPF is to against communism' which was established and consolidated after 1948.
