한설야 소설에 나타난 평화담론과 소설화 : 한설야의 반미(反美)소설을 중심으로

Abstract

Han was participating in the peace movement for almost all of his time in North Korea. But this career has so far been overlooked in study on Han. So this study noted this point. The World Peace Movement attended by Han Seol-ya on behalf of North Korea was a movement of the nature of keeping the U.S. in check, with the Soviet Union at the center. In particular, the 1949 Peace World Congress, the beginning of this movement, is important. This study starts with the hypothesis that the event had an important impact on the formation of awareness about the U.S. by North Korea and Han Seol-ya. In this extension, Han’s anti-Americanism and his pacifism are connected. Although he had been active in relation to the peace movement for more than a decade, it is not easy for us to define what he thought was “peace” because most of the activities were representative of the party’s official position. However, since literary works that reflect the author’s time will contain his thoughts, in this study, Han’s anti-American novels “Seung-nyang-i(Jackals)”, “Daedong gang(Daedong river)”, and “Kireun hanaida(The Road is One)” are the main subjects of this study, and I tried to read Han’s pacifism through his anti-American consciousness that appeared in these novels. At the heart of his peace perception was a nation and the people.
