Abstract

This study researches on the limitations and prospects of literary magazines, the main medium for producing discourse within the Korean literary field. We looked at the potential of the publicness of existing literary sites and other changes, focusing on webzines <Munjang Webzine>, <View>, <Munhak3>. In 2015, a novelist's plagiarism dispute spread to criticism of literary power and literary magazines. And it extended to the publicness discourse of literary magazines. After the controversy over the publicness of literary, while the status of literary magazines has changed, alternative literary magazines have emerged to break away from the existing ones. Webzines are communicating with readers, seeking to change the status of writers and readers, break away from the authority of literature and various ways of communication. In terms of publicness, webzines have created opportunities for more people to connect and communicate. Webzines are transforming the literature field into a public domain by providing a forum for readers to speak on their own. Unagreed readers' desires ultimately affect the direction of the literary-field. In this regard, webzines are the places that reveal differences. Of course, you have to admit that you need a material base to operate webzines. It is also undeniable that a paid-for policy is inevitable if webzines are produced by private capital. How to overcome limitations of access on a material basis should now be discussed.
