전후 현실의 조응으로서의 모더니즘 문학론

Abstract

The modernism in the 1950s demanded a new perception of the reality to the post-war literary men. That is the very perception of the reality and modernity based on it becoming the focal point in the post-war modernism. The modern times they perceived was devastating age according to existential feeling and restriction of ideology by the Korean War. In this situation, they came to maintain new perception, content and method to the reality and discrimination to literature they had denied so much. Looking at it from its tendency of post-ideology, a question can be raised to its orthodox. However, considering that the originating condition of western modernism, and that of Korean one is not same, rather their modernistic perception of the reality was considered to be the most proper literary form. The post-war modernistic theory of literature was that corresponding to the concrete reality. Under the circumstances that the free passage of ideology was blocked, there was no way to choose modernism. Noting modernism manifests itself differently according to circumstances, it is thought to be a milestone to re-consider the stream of history of criticism after the 1950s. Also this work is certification of the substance taking the place of ideology in criticism in the 1950s, and exploration to the the seismic center of critical process divided in the 1960s.
