문학교육에서의 지역문학 및 지역성 수용의 동향과 전망

Abstract

Since many efforts to accommodate the local literature and the locality in Korean language curriculum and textbooks have been attempted in various ways for a long time, at this moment, it is necessary to reviewing the realized aspects of such efforts. Following this problem awareness, I have studied the literature curriculum and literary textbooks so far in the history of Korean languge education. In point of the local literature and the locality, the third curriculum of the 1970’s is problematic. This period was designed to foster interest and love for the national territory in accordance with the nationalism of the Yushin period. However, such a nationalistic aspect begins to disappear a little bit in the next curriculum period, but after that time the local literature and the locality begin to emerge in the sixth curriculum keeping pace with the political realities of democratization. After going through the ambiguous and chaotic situation of the seventh curriculum period, the local literature and the locality have been stipulated in the literary scope of high school of 2007 curriculum. Next, I have reviewed the literary textbooks from 2007 to recently 2015 curriculum, except the literary textbooks from the fourth curriculum to the seventh curriculum. However, contrary to the ideological desire in the literary curriculum, the literary textbooks during the version of 2007, 2009 and 2015 does not fully accommodate the local literature and the locality as its contents. In particular, the restriction of materials in the textbooks stands out, and the study activities do not fully embody the unique characteristics of the local literature and the locality. In other words, that situation falls far short of the nature of the local experience of a place figured in the literary text. In the future, we should look for ways to harmonize the locality and the citizenship, based on the literariness which is the basis of literary education. It has the significance of seeking a local identity through the field experience of literature, and futhermore seeking a broad perspective and a sense of subjectivity on the new spaces.
