해방기 여성지에 드러난 모윤숙의 내셔널리즘 - 『부인』과 『새살림』을 중심으로

Abstract

Mo Yoon-sook is considered a Korean female poet who actively advocated nationalism. She left behind many patriotic works based on nationalism and actively participated in political activities. A number of articles are found that reveal a lack of historical awareness and political error, and many researchers criticize her very strongly. Based on the writings published in the Women's Magazine during the Liberation Period, this study tried to consider the process of exploring identity as a female writer and its confusion. The works published in the women's magazines such as "Madam" and "New Living" show the poet's direct voice in order to express his will toward nationalism or promote patriotism. However, her work inevitably reveals a contradictory attitude. Mo Yoon-sook tried to establish historical legitimacy while addressing the remnants of feudalism as something to be abolished. In addition, reckless longing for Western society is latent in the attitude of emphasizing the promotion of patriotism. Despite the search for an identity to find a new image of women, they are incorporated into the male-dominated structure and voice their support for the system. In the collection of works published after liberation, works that are far from this contradictory attitude are also found. There are some works that do not reveal ideological orientation or real-life problems. These works include wandering and psychological pressure as a writer. It is different from Mo Yoon-sook's representative works that express patriotism. It is a language of confession that approves incompleteness and absence, which gives a subtle lyrical impression. The flaws and imbalances revealed in Mo Yoon-sook's work are the points that lead to reflective reasons in the history of Korean literature.
