합평회라는 사건과 응답되지 못한 질문 - 『新潮』 합평회와 『조선문단』 합평회 연구

Abstract

The theme of this paper is to identify the meaning of questions raised in the Joint Review of “Sincho(新潮)” in 1923 and “Joseonmundan(조선문단)” in 1925, but not seriously considered. At the same time, the concern of this discussion is to consider what the event meant and what effect these had in the literary circles of both Korea and Japan. The questions were raised about the new role of literature, the relationship between literature and life in and out of the Joint Review of “Sincho(新潮)”, but discussions on these subjects have ended poorly. the participants of the Joint Review argued that the essential values of literature were not undermined, but this argument made the concept of literature extremely narrow. Faced with criticism for focusing solely on literary technique, participants in the Joint Review of the “Joseonmundan(조선문단)” discussed what literary techniques is. However, it has not been properly asked internally or externally as to what is underlying the question of technique. The question of what follows a natural and realistic representation created by literary devices represented by techniques was directly related to the question of the nature of literature. However, this question was never submitted in the form of a question. From the outset, these two faced an attack from proletarian literature, and were asked essential questions about literature internally and externally. However, both eventually missed this momentum. In this sense, both sides were an opportunity to solidify the accepted literary concept, and they were a symptomatic event that showed how the future mainstream literature would proceed in both Korea and Japan.
