Abstract

Sim Yeon Su’s literature and immigrant literature’s historic value can be realized through communication with this age, here and now. Here, there is reason why immigrant literature including Sim Yeon Su’s is put up in the front of the literature of this age and furthermore the national literary history. To attain this, we have to organize immigrant literary history beforehand. Organizing immigrant literature is to detect and explore the historic process of immigrant literature and its prospect and to set it up as the core of our literature. Also, immigrant literary history should communicate with us, now, through literary education and history education, etc. Thus, it is necessary to reorganize the curriculum of literature and reestablish immigrant literature as the chief process. In particular, now is the time when education to make students understand multiple identity beyond the national border of multicultural society is urgently needed, so it is a valuable thing to do to examine what’s inside of immigrant literature represented with literary language. Immigrant literature including Sim Yeon Su’s is the crucial results produced by the national literary history in the period of colonization across the inside and outside of the region, immigration, and national border. Especially his linguistic aesthetics, history of immigration and sensitivity, and unique embodiment of modernism are the critical fruition of our literary history. Now it is our duty to create new humanistic thinking beyond the nation as well as national education through Sim Yeon Su’s literature and immigrant literature. It is because it is about our own identity issue of this time and also our own stories as history entities after all.
