김명순 소설의 필명 선택 전략

Abstract

This study begins with the critical mind that how the study of Kim Myung-soon’s novel is bound by the regulation of the victim’s identity based on her special life history and her autobiographical novel read as a woman-victim epic. The chapter 1 showed that in case of novels with facts already known about herself, she published them under her real name, Kim Myung-soon, and if they center on irrelevant characters and subjects, she published them under her pen name. The chapter 2 showed that it sought methods to survive by strategically directing its social identity, which was both victim and subject to moral criticism by a detailed analysis of individual works. The chapter 3 showed that the novels published under her pen name “Mangyangcho” reflect the strategy of seeking an artist’s identity in the suppression and pain of reality. The chapter 4 deals with novels published under her another pen name “Tansil.” The novels published under her pen name “Tansil” deal with the seeking for literary theory and the study of the impossibility of love in the reality of colonial Joseon, and the issues of socialist ideology and its realization subjects. Kim Myung-soon is a writer who showed how to utilize the existence of vulnerability using with tools of characteristic literary formation in the history of literature in 1910s. So, in the literary history of 1920s, it should be evaluated as a model of a literary attempt to harmonize the sense of reality and morality derived from individual experience with ideology of the time.
