1970년대 서사담론과 ‘문학 주체’ 재현의 논리

Abstract

The magnetic field of the internal development theory submitted by the Korean history community in the middle and late 1960s had huge influences on the national literature camp around Creation and Criticism and also the Literature and Intellect camp. The composition of the historical discourse was transferred to the literary discourse, offering a different interpretation about who the subject of modern literature was. It was the Literature and Intellect group that applied the discussions at the starting point of modern times to the description of literary history and tried to find its interpretative scaffold in an individual realized as a modern subject. The representative discussion began with Kim Hyeon, who found it the most problematic that the class in charge of clues for modern consciousness was absent even with the clues given before the colonial period since the transition to modern times in history happened heteronomously. He pointed out that the situation remained valid in the 1970s but failed to deepen it as a discussion about citizenship literature. Baek Nakcheong from the Creation and Criticism group, on the other hand, started with Citizenship Literature Theory and resolved the issue of citizenship raised in early days inside the national literature theory by converting the Citizenship Literature Theory into a perspective of nation and people. In addition, the resignification of national literature as a third world literary theory had a limitation of revealing only the nature of discourse separated from reality given the situation of South Korea in the 1970s.
