1930년대 시전문 동인지와 로컬리티

Abstract

In this study, locality issue was observed by targeting major literary coterie magazines being published in other region than Gyeongseong (Seoul) during 1930s. Under the situation that literary coterie magazine was mushroomed during 1930s, aspect and meaning of literary magazine being published in each local region was considered in terms of its locality. A study on literary coterie magazine during 1930s was conspicuously rare compared with that on literary coterie magazine during 1920s that was known to be literary society of literary coterie magazine during those times. If literary coterie magazine during 1920s should be called as the first magazine in such category, 1930s would be the times when literary coterie magazine was bloomed matching with its historical timing of literature. Therefore, it would be required to show concern over such trend and in this study, how literary coterie magazines being published locally established its relation with central (Gyeongseong) region, in what way they established such relation and what is local characteristics depending on each local region were observed. Linkage with or rejection against central region was two drastic directions shown by literary coterie magazines during those times. Central region at that time means Gyeongseong in geographic terms but if speaking it in detail, it means also existing writers doing their literary activity in Gyeongseong. It is overlapped with an issue of generation discourse and if a critique target of literary coterie magazine published in central region were writers of past generation, that published in local region would be central region (central concentration) and medium standing writers. In addition, it could be confirmed that linkage status with central region significantly also affected activation of literary coterie magazine. In geographical perspective, it seems to be clear that besides central region based on Gyeongseong, other central area or diversified ones would be required as well. Additionally, it may be said that literary coterie magazine during 1930s had strived in order to play its diversified central roles and to ensure survival of local culture. Observing literary coterie magazine during 1930s would be meaningful in providing a clue for creating a new central or diversified central areas.
