소설 개념 형성과 식민지 근대 부르주아의 정치학

Abstract

Here, we looked into ‘Jeongyukron(theory of cultivating one’s feeling)’ and the discretionary perspective of literature which were established by new breed of intellectuals who studied in Japan in 1910s’ and the overview of literature, overview of novel and the starting point of perceiving the history of novel 1920s’ to which they are applied. In particular among them, we looked into the context of how the concept of early modern novels was formed on the basis of the works by Lee, Gwang-Soo, Kim, Dong-In and Hyeon-Chul. Their work on the theory of novel is directed toward setting a consistant principle of form, arranging the contemporary novel on that basis, defining the origin and boundary of self by organizing the history of self on the basis of contemporary time, and naming it as ‘reality’ and ‘Joseon Society’. This shows that the imagination, that puts the contemporary self into history, complements the imagination that organize the history of modern novel. This is historical sense of time that converts the present moment from the past as an inevitable thing on the basis of contemporary self, and is a sense of novel’s history that confirms the transformation of spiritual history that Korean novels have. The awareness of self in the novel and racial history which is established by bourgeois literary men in the early modern days adopted exclusion and confrontation, regulation and selection and the historical method of self, under the approval of universal knowledge. And such awareness of novel is predicted by the ‘transformation into inherence’ which exists in their origin. The institutional discretion brought by the inherence can be said to an ideology that justifies and rationalizes bourgeois who became the subjective by eliminating the ‘outside’ called ‘politics’ and ‘empire’ and copying the violence of the empire within the colony through the forcible change of perspective and overthrow of value.
