소설에서 근대어문의 실현 경로 ―동아시아 보편문어에서 민족어문으로 이행하기까지

Abstract

This paper is the keynote presentation of the DIKS conference, the Building and Reformation of Modern Language System in East Asia(동아시아 근대 어문 질서의 형성과 재편). In pre-modern era, east asian countries, China, Korea, Japan all used classical-Chinese as universal classical language which formed solid system. With the ingress of modern world, the authority of Universal classical language deformed and each east asian country re-formed national language respectively, which can be determined as the process of the building and reformation of modern national language. In this paper, I research the actualization of the modern language and literature through the writing way of Korean fiction comparing that of Chinese fiction. Therefore, I compare the pre-modern gestalt of Korean fiction with that of Chinese fiction in Ming-Qing dynasty. And also, I construct the contrast between Before March 1st and The True Story of Ah Q, representative fictions in early modern era of two countries.
