1920년대 부르주아문학의 제도적 정착과 조선문단

Abstract

Chosunmundan was the corporeal combination and cradle of the bourgeois literature in the mid-1920’s literature field when bourgeois literature coexisted with proletariat literature. This means that modern literature including organ magazine literature not only converged but also proliferated at that time. Popularization strategy and specialization strategy were used in parallel as the strategies that the bourgeois literature strived to dominate hegemony of literature field by using Chosunmundan as an operation base. The popularization and specialization of literature through the popularization strategy predominated over the proletariat literature at that time. Specialization strategy was embodied by defining the boundary of general literature and each genre and giving exclusive status to it. The bourgeois literature spread the new literary theory and genre theory to the public through these definition and exclusion while enlightening/educating them and trying to systematize the criteria of pure literature. These two strategies being supplemented mutually, the systematization of literature reached a distinguished accomplishment through the system of prize recommendation. The prize recommendation system was the first rational and refined professional literature offering system of the modern literature history that have the internal system of recommendation and recognition based on popularity and specialty. Through this recommendation are discharged able writers such as Choi Seohae, Chae Mansik, Han Selya, Lee Taejun, etc. Furthermore, the system of prize recommendation became settled as the tradition of the professional literature offering system in the Korean literary circle while reproduced expansively as the media representing journal of literature ever since.
