1930년대 전반기 경성제대 출신 마르크스주의자의 학술문화운동

Abstract

As the Marxists, who graduated from Kyungseong(Keizo) Imperial University, the best university during the colonial days, were under the academic influence of Kyungseong(Keizo) Imperial University, they were dealt with from the viewpoint of the history of the formation of academics, or as they were involved in the organized movement like the Joseon Communist Party Reconstruction Movement since the mid-1930’s, they received attention from the viewpoint of the history of social movements. But rather this paper started from the awareness that the movement, which they were involved in at that time, was an academic and cultural movement with the intention of contributing to all movements through academics while retaining their identity as researchers. The academic and cultural movement of the Marxists who graduated from Kyungseong(Keizo) Imperial University was deployed in three stages. First, they formed a theory research organization on campus, i.e. the Economic Research Society, and they were exposed to the methodology of the academic and cultural movement in Japan in 1929. Second, they participated in Shinheung, in which the pioneer class of the Department of Law and Literature played a pivotal role, and published Joseon Science in an effort to subjectivate the working class, and make theoretical progress. Lastly, they organized the Joseon Society Research Institute, and collected and provided data, and analyzed the political situation for the scientification of social movements. Unlike the ‘Scientific Joseon Studies’ which intended to create practical academics in Joseon, among the academic and cultural movements which captivated the then Marxists, it was more of the Proletarian Cultural Movement which pursued academic practice. As the Joseon Society Research Institute disintegrated under Japanese oppression, however, their academic and cultural movement could hardly make any public advance. Also, as they had to think about their career as researchers in the Japanese colonial era, the Marxists who graduated from Kyungseong(Keizo) Imperial University had to choose between construction of academics in Joseon and the clandestine Kulturkampf combined with the Joseon Communist Party Reconstruction Movement.
