『문학사상』에 나타난 스페인어권 문학 수용상황

Abstract

We have investigated a Korean literary magazine called Literature & Thought from the year 1972 to 2016 to study the introduction of the literature in Spanish in Korea. We’ve counted 148 articles in this magazine for 44 years. The results of this study are the followings: (1) We’ve the most articles published in 1975. (2) Countries with the most articles are Spain and Colombia. (3) Literature & Thought has introduced about 54 authors from the Spanish speaking world, where the writers of Spain were introduced more frequently and Gabriel García Márquez has appeared more often. (4) This magazine does not focus on the Nobel laureates but on the introduction of the literature in Spanish from the point of world literature view. (5) Most writers of articles are Koreans. They are mostly professors of Spanish but we can find also a congress man and a professor of Russian literature. In the area of translation, the number of articles based on the English or French translation of Spanish works is higher than those ones dealing with the original literary works in Spanish. (6) The person who published the most articles is Min, Yong-tae, and he who provided the most articles about literary translation into Korean is Ahn, Jung-hyo. In conclusion, Literature & Thought has been introducing Spanish literature from the first issue to the general readers without prejudice in accordance with the status of writers and works. However, it is regrettable that articles in Spanish have not appeared in the last years.
