북한의「로작」용어 등장과정과 김정은 로작 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to conduct analysis on how Works - literature of North Korea's supreme leaders - emerged as well as contents, meanings and forms of Works of leader Kim Jong-Un. Five years on following the pronouncement of his Works, we may need now research focused on his Works. And this study analyzed characteristics of 53 Works North Korea asserted to have pronounced. So, in a bid to have a understanding and comparative analysis of emergence of the term 'Works', the study analyzed Works during Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jung-Il periods, targeting at articles including the term Works in Rodong-Shinmun. Kim Jong-Un' Works was composed of writings in the diverse fields, while its emergence showed similarity with those of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jung-Il in the past. Through Kim Jong-Un's Works, the study was able to learn and ascertain the characteristics of his ruling methodology as well as his policy and stances. And it could also learn that the aspect of policies, in particular, consisted mainly of mentions about economic policies and Kim Jong-Un pursued the unity of people by pronouncing Works for a diverse range of classes for the purpose of ruling. And yet through the frequency of his mentioning, the study could learn of his keen interest in Youth League and the Boy Scouts. Given his short period in power, his Works was assessed to lack mentioning on diverse fields and subjects in comparison with those of leaders in the past. In light of the recent trend, it can be predicted that Works before and after the death of Kim Jung-Il would continue to be pronounced, though his Works so far was known to have been pronounced since his father's death. Especially Korean Peninsula issue and unification issue all were mentioned only at the New Year's addresses and the study predicts successive Works about them may continue to be made.
