북한소설 《형제》와 《전환》의 '민족적 특성' 연구 : '민족적 성격'을 중심으로 with reference to "National Characteristics = A Study about the "National Specificity" in the "The Brothers(Hyongje)" and "A Turn (Chonhwan)"

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This dissertation is about "the national specificity" in the "The Brothers (Hyongje)" and "A Turn(Chonhwan)".
This dissertation was about the development of the "argument about national characteristics," which was the core point of the "argument about the national specificity." The actual application of the argument was revealed in the novels "The Brothers(Hyongje)" and "A Turn(Chonhwan)," The positive characteristics of a fictional character, which were presented diversely by the critics, were abstracted from classical literary works and the historical experiences of the revolution against the Japanese Imperialism. In the early time of North Korean literature, the KAPF tradition was given an attention and developed, especially centering the works of Lee Ki-young, and was called the "two main traditions" along with the tradition of the revolution against the Japanese Imperialism. However, in the field of the argument of national specificity, only the tradition of the revolution against the Japanese Imperialism was highly stressed.
According to the above, I could have the conclusion that the argument about the national specificity was the important discussion which was converging diverse literary theories of the earlier period and transported them into "Juche'munye-i'ron," a literary theory of the subject. In addition, I hoped that my study could contribute to prove the possibility for North Korean criticism from the 1950s to 1960s to be included in the realm of a "national literature" of the same people speaking the same language in terms of the wide meaning of an argument about tradition, whereas the argument about the national specificity also has the possibility to be considered as an invented tradition, as E. Hobsbawm said, which collaborated in maintaining the political power of the North Korean regime. Although the argument about tradition in North Korea has some problem in its birth and in its ideology-centric limits, the result of the discussion about a literary theme and form in it could be a good standard for a comparison with South Korean literature.
