변혁에의 갈망과 과학적 사회주의의 조우 ― 1920년대 중후반 임화의 평론을 중심으로

Abstract

Since 1926, Lim Hwa started to have obvious identity as a proletarian critic until around1930. In this period, he first started writing critics and become a member of KAPF. Especially the critics written in 1926’s showed how he started writing critics for certainreasons. The contents of those critics were related to art which makes freedom of suppressionthat individual encounters, and the liberation of arts itself which trying to get outof conservative arts. This point showed that he has paid attention on the political possibility of literature at the starting point of his critiques. At the same time, it provided a cluefor explaining Lim Wha’s internal motivation for having interest on proletarian literature. In 1927, he joined the anarchism controversies. Since then, he started to form his ownidentity as a significant debater of KAPF. In this controversies, he argued that KAPFshould be separated from the anarchist influence, but showed the attitude of acceptingthe concept of ‘action of emotions’ that anarchists had at the same time. He insisted proletarianliterature should be developed in the process of joining action of emotions and scientificsocialism. The action of emotions mean internal motivation for the revolution andscientific socialism means external principle for the realization of revolution. After 1930when he moved to Tokyo, he had written critiques for literature, films, playing, arts andother areas of culture. The logic behind these critiques were based on ‘form and mattermonism.’ He had been influenced by ‘theory of purpose consciousness’ mainly talked byPark Younghee and content-oriented trend, In terms of he emphasized the revolution offormat, his critiques are distinguished from Park Younghee’s criticism. It proves that hiscriticism had not accepted as a political trend. Emphasizing these characteristics leads toexplore new aspects of Lim Hwa’s interest on arts of politics or politics of arts whether heintended or not.
