1990년대 엽편소설 기획·출판의 활성화와 그 의미

Abstract

The 1990s was a time when the metadiscourse centered on ideology and politics was dismantled and a new mainstream was explored. Instead of class, nation, enlightenment, post-class, post-nation, de-enlightenment took place and various trends emerged. Topics such as nature, life, women and multicultural issues have diversified. In the late 90s, the narrative style also changed significantly. This is the emergence of Yeobpyeon-Soseol. In this article, I reviewed the special novels of 『Jaggasegye』 and 『Munhagsasang』 and many Collections of Yeobpyeon-Soseol. Various writers such as established and new appeared In 『Jaggasegye』. Not only novelists but also poets participated in formal experiments. There were also works that stood in the middle or between novels and poetry or novels and essays. They tried to bring newness and interest in literature through various experiments. 『Munhagsasang』 was designed from formal experiment to box office success(popularity). The writers and subjects are much wider and more diverse than in 『Jaggasegye』. However, there was a lack of stylistic understanding of the novel and the author's efforts to establish this were also weak. There were too few remarkable works for the amount of work. In the Collection of Yeobpyeon-Soseol, the artist's personality and tendency were clearly revealed. The process of finding the meaning of life in a trivial life was common, but the directions were very diverse. Seong Seok-je dismantled the existing order and authority through interest and fun, and Kim So-jin found it in the process of looking back on the meaning of small everyday life. However, there were significant differences in quality not only between writers but also within the same collection. Also, compared to the writers shorts and novels, Yeobpyeon-Soseol's literary quality was very poor.
