중국 현대문학에 있어서 문학과 권력의 문제

Abstract

This treatise is to inquire into the correlation between Literature and power politics from 1917 to The Great Cultural Revolution of 1966. It observes from the viewpoint of changing feudal political power and culture in modern Chinese Literature. LiZehou and LiuZaifu have insisted that a literary theory combined power politics and culture led learned circle of modern Literature in China for the past fifty years. (from 1928 to 1976). They were to grasp how Literature was distorted during that time by outward power of Literature rather than meaning itself. In the modern Chinese Literature, the cultural power situation is prominent through a positive realistic participation of writers in the early years. After this, the writers divided into the left faction and the right faction. The left faction stood against the Nationalist Party and the right faction stood against the Communist Party. They built an internal cultural power. Control of culture is mentioned by Mao Zedong and it was stronger after the establishment of PRC in 1994. CCP and Mao Zedong held cultural power through the restraint of literary art. This process, in other side, combined people in charge of culture and culture with authority. This situation has shown two sides, namely combination and opposition of culture and politics. But unilateral constraint of power has impoverished cultural trends because politicians have expressed intentional culture bias. On the other hand, culture is shown more a transmission of information or a social nature than self-object. So we need to find minute meanings in competition between culture and power.
