6․25전쟁 전후시기 북한 문예지의 문화정치학

Abstract

This paper presents analysis of the monthly Literature Art(『문학예술』 1948.4～1953.9), the mouthpiece of the North Korean Literature Art League before and after the Korean War to examine the characteristics of current literature-media field & literary history. The historic changes in edition system of the Literature Art were highlighted by spread of propaganda aiming to promote socialist system construction and victory in war and conflict over ideology and aesthetics to gain hegemony of literary policy of the party, depending on historic changes of the North Korea. The antagonistic relationship between propaganda media and literary media was manifested dynamically amid rapid changes of political situations and struggle over hegemony. The first period(from April 1948 to July 1950), which saw publication of mouthpiece of (North) Joseon Literature Art League led by Jeong Ryul, the Soviet faction, and Ahn Ham-gwang, former member of Korean Proletariat Literature League, was accentuated with tendencies of propaganda. In the second period(from April 1951 to November 1952), in which the hegemony was seized by literary artists of Namrodang, the former members of Korean Literature League, through the conference of the South-North Artist Federation in the pre-Korean War Joseon Literature Art League, witnessed the balance between propaganda and literature, led by Kim Jo-gyu, the chief editor. The third period(from December 1952 to September 1953) saw that the tendency of propaganda became intensified again while the hegemony held by members of Namrodang, such as Im Hwa, etc., was weakened and lost. Particularly, it served as arena for discourses over the theory and struggle related to purge of opposition factions. Nonetheless, Literature Art contains works providing insight into activities of literary artists who had been erased from literary history of the South and North Korea, such as Im Hwa, Kim Nam-cheon, Lee Tae-joon, Kim Soon-seok, etc., during the War period and works promoting establishment of socialistic country. The true nature of the literature of socialistic realism, which ceased to exist to permanent division of the South and North Korean literatures, tendency of artists who fled to the North Korea or resided in the North Korea, the theory of great leader and Juche literary theory which were created later, can be restored and reinstated.
