6‧25 전쟁기 대구 ․ 경북 아동문학의 전개

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the development of children's literature in Daegu․Gyeongbuk during the Korean War. To this end, the work activities of a corps of war writers and the writing of the magazine World of Boys(소년세계) were cross-checked. In this way, the reorganization process of children's paragraphs in Daegu was identified, and its achievements and limitations were examined. During the Korean War, not only general literature but also children's literature were introduced to Daegu. On the other hand, monthly World of Boys was founded, centering on Lee Won-soo. In the process, the children's a literary circle was reorganized as the evacuation literary circle was formed in the literary circle in Daegu. Although initiative activities of writers in the face of the national disaster of war cannot be expected, children's literature during this period was relatively insufficient compared to the liberation period. However, in the midst of this, the participation of war writers such as Jang Deok-jo and Park Hoon-san in children's literature and the activities of local children's writer Park Young-jong are notable. In addition, the activities of new artists such as Kim Yo-seop, Lee Jong-ki, and Lee Jong-taek are also notable. Their activities were not the center of the regional literary circles during the war, but they overcame their limitations in the special situation of war. In this respect, Jung Hwi-chang's retrospective that children's literature in Daegu during the war was a ‘dormant period’ should be evaluated again.
