허준의 습작실 연작 연구

Abstract

This study is conducted to look into Huh Jun’s character and transition aspects of the work world through Huh Jun’s 「Seupjaksil」 series. Huh Jun’s early novels mostly make an issue of psychological description and fundamental loneliness inside the men, and his view is shown to be expanded to the macroscopic perspective like history and society after Liberation. Therefore, the series 「Seupjaksil」 published around Liberation can be the useful text to show transition aspects of Huh Jun’s work world vividly. The study subject is 「Seupjaksileseo」(「습작실에서」,1941), 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」(「續 습작실에서」,1947), and 「習作部屋から」(1940) that was recently found. 「習作部屋から」 is the basic work of 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」 which is developed from 「習作部屋から」 that was published before Liberation. This study compared 「習作部屋から」 and 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」 and then analyzed them. Given that 「習作部屋から」 is the matrix of 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」, the analysis on 「習作部屋から」 is essential. Studies on Huh Jun’s 「Seupjaksil」 series only discussed the relations between 「Seupjaksileseo」 and 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」 while the study on 「習作部屋から」 is meaningful in that it started from the prototype. Furthermore, the study looked into the meaning that 「Seupjaksileseo」 and 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」 have as a series of novels as well as the writer’s transition aspects and the meaning of ‘money’ and ‘death’, major motives through the comparison between two works. In conclusion, dispassionate discernment and a sense of balance in 「Sok Seupjaksileseo」 can be the noticeable outcome among works of Liberation period. The possible changes in the subject through the other found in a series of novel are from authenticity of those who experience mental struggles. The writer’s attitude about the outside world seems to be expanded from abstractness to historicity and from ideality to materiality. However, Huh Jun, who explored humans’ inside through the description of specific psychology, didn’t follow and compromise with the trend, and showed balance in tension and conflicts between a sense of identity and historical consciousness, was criticized coldly in a political situation of Liberation period(1945-1948). His dedication to ‘history’ and ‘politics’ is no longer possible to create works. After defecting to North Korea, he devoted himself to politic activities more than writing activities because he finally failed to get rid of a self-consciousness.
