상품 생산 측면에서 본 고소설 세책 및 출판의 의미

이민희 한국문학회 2021 韓國文學論叢 Vol.89 No.-

This paper deals with the emergence of novels in the aspect of commodity production, the attempt to give meaning to the issue of reading, publishing, and novel reading from a transitional perspective. It is not merely to evaluate book sellers and publishers as production subjects that have led to the commercial success of Korean old-novels, but rather to monopolize the novel distribution and publishing market, to determine form and price. Books for rent and print novels are popular novels. These novels contain commercial morality that embraced Confucianism. Publishers, mortals and book sellers are actively seeking to increase the value of their products. The increase in commercialized novels means that novels have changed from ‘ideology-centered’ ethics novels to ‘entertainment -oriented’ popular novels. It means that the ideology that the artist pursues individually combines with the morals of the producers, and another form of ideology, that is, the commercial morality of the production subject, is transferred into the work. This paper also examines the characteristics of the novels published in the late 19th century by the production and distribution of novels, focusing on the novel Namwon-gosa(南原古詞) in the mid-nineteenth century. As a result, I considered that Namwon-gosa corresponds to the novel of planning product produced by the production subject for circulating books. And the step-by-step narrative development pattern based on the ‘lifetime narrative structure of the hero’, which is commonly seen in the heroic novels is a sales narrative device for enhancing commercial value. When these discussions are combined and supplemented with more detailed cases and arguments, the evaluation of popular novels, which are evaluated as the characteristics of the circulating books' culture and printed books' culture in the 18th and 19th century. From this point of view, if we look at the history of literature in the nineteenth century, the existing research view that we have defined as 'the history of stagnation and reaction' requires inventories. 본고는 19세기-20세기 초에 미상의 국문 소설 생산 주체들이 내놓은 소설책의 유무형적 특성을 상품 소설이란 측면에서 살펴보았다. 세책업자나 방각업자, 출판업자 등 소설‘책’ 생산 주체를 단순히 국문 장편소설과 국문 영웅소설을 만든 상인으로만 볼 것이 아니라, 소설 유통 및 출판 시장에 일정한 영향을 미치고, 상업적 도덕관이 투철했던 이들로 평가할 수 있다고 보았다. 통속성이 강화된 세책본․방각본․활자본 소설일수록 보수적 유교 이념을 더욱 공고히 담보하게 되었고, 이에서 생산 주체는 더욱 많은 이윤을 남길 수 있었다. 상품 소설의 증가는 작가의 가치관과 의식뿐만 아니라 출판․판매자의 윤리적 판단까지 개입할 여지가 많아졌음을 의미한다. 춘향전 이본인 남원고사 는 세책용으로 생산 주체들이 만들어낸 일종의 기획 상품에 해당한다. 영웅군담소설에서 빈번히 등장하는 ‘영웅의 일생 서사구조’ 역시 상품 가치를 높이기 위해 생산 주체들이 자주 활용하던 서사 장치였다. 상업성, 대중성을 기반으로 한 통속소설의 성행은 소설책 제작 및 출판의 발달과 밀접한 관계에 있다. 이를 이해하는 것이 당대 소설사의 단면을 이해하는 한 방편이 된다. 이를 통해 이 시기 소설 작품 세계를 새롭게 읽어낼 시각을 확보할 수 있다.

디지털 매체 시대의 소설 쓰기 연구 -웹소설작법을 중심으로-

송명진 ( Song Myung-jin ) 국제어문학회 2021 국제어문 Vol.- No.91

웹소설을 중심으로 새롭게 소설의 지형도가 형성되는 상황에서 본 연구는 일상의 언어를 웹소설어로 변화시키는 웹소설작법의 특징에 대해 고찰했다. 첫째, 웹소설작법은 웹소설 유통망을 소설작법의 영역으로 끌어들였다. 기존의 소설작법에서 강조했던 것이 창작이었다면 웹소설작법에서 강조하는 것은 소설의 생산과 소비와 관련된 유통이었다. 웹소설작법은 본격적으로 소설을 쓰기 전에 우선 여러 플랫폼의 특징을 고찰해야 하며, 이에 따라 소설 쓰기가 이루어져야 한다고 강조했다. 웹소설의 여러 서사적 특징들 역시 웹소설의 상품성을 극대화하려는 플랫폼의 전략에서 기인했다고 할 수 있다. 둘째, 웹소설작법은 장르소설로서의 웹소설의 특징을 강조했다. 이는 웹소설이 주로 모바일을 통해서 소비된다는 매체 환경에서 비롯되었다. 디지털 읽기에 익숙한 독자들에게 가볍게 즐길 수 있는 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위해 웹소설은 장르소설을 선택했다. 이를 통해 독자들은 즉흥적인 감정에 기초하여 웹소설을 소비하게 되었으며, 웹소설작법은 독자들의 이러한 감정을 이끌어내기 위해 장르소설의 관습을 작법화했다. 이상의 연구는 기존의 소설작법과 변별되는 웹소설작법의 특징을 밝혔다는 의의를 가진다. 그리고 여러 매체들을 통해 실현되는 다양한 웹소설작법을 아우를 때, 웹소설작법에 대한 더욱 심화된 연구가 가능할 것이라 생각한다. This study examines the characteristics of the web novel writing method that transforms everyday language into a web novel. First, the method included the web novel distribution network in the novel writing method. The existing novel writing method emphasized creation, but the web novel method emphasized the distribution related to the production and consumption of novels. The latter method insisted that the characteristics of multiple platforms should be considered before writing a novel. Furthermore, the method states a novel should be written accordingly. The various narrative characteristics of web novels are also derived from the platform’s strategy to maximize the marketability of web novels. Second, the method emphasized the characteristics of web novels as genre novels. This originates from the media environment where web novels are mainly consumed through mobile devices. For readers accustomed to digital reading, web novels have chosen genre fiction. Readers are consuming web novels based on improvised emotions, and web novel writing has used the conventions of genre novels to elicit these emotions from readers. When including various web novel writing methods realized through various media, this study can be further deepened.

<낙천등운>의 텍스트 특징과 형성 배경에 대한 고찰

이지영 국문학회 2009 국문학연구 Vol.0 No.19

Nakcheon-deungun is unique novel, so attracted the scholar's attention. But someone thought that this was translation of chinese novel. This study is on the uniqueness of the text, which has the both features of korean novels and chinese novels. Nakcheon-deungun has the foreignness; the manners and custom such as brothel and examination depicted in the text is not similar to that of Chosun and the our traditional novels, but similar to that of Ming or Qing and Ming or Qing novels. At the same time, Nakcheon-deungun has the affinity; The life story of Wang, the hero who had been fallen to the bottom of the social scale but at last regained his status and restored the reputation of his family, constructs the main frame of narrative. In addition, although based on the historical fact, the story was made up by fiction. Most of all, the red mark on the arm that shows the virginity of heroin is not found in the Ming or Qing novel but in the Chosun novel. This ambilaterality of the text have something to do with the defect of the text; the discrepancy of discourse and discordance of the chapter's titles. The text was knitted up by adoption and copying of preceding novel. So I inferred that ambilaterality of the text is from the intertextuality of the text, and the intertextuality of the text tells the socilal background of commercial production of novels. The spaces in the each paper that have the use of turning over leaves with wet finger also show the connections between the intertextuality and the commercial purpose.

친근함과 독특함: 소비자의 디자인 선호와 구매 의도에 영향을 미치는 디자인 특성

김선우 ( Kim Sunwoo ),이지현 ( Lee Jihyun ) 한국소비자학회 2018 소비자학연구 Vol.29 No.1

본 연구는 제품이 갖는 쾌락적-실용적 속성의 정도에 따라, 제품 디자인이 친근한 디자인에서 독특한 디자인으로 변화할 때 소비자의 디자인 선호와 제품 구매 의도에 어떠한 변화가 발생하는지 살펴보았다. 자료의 수집을 위해, 쾌락적 속성이 강한 패션 제품 중 하나인 T셔츠와 실용적 속성이 강한 주방 제품 중 하나인 토스터기를 자극물로 하는 설문을 시행하였고, 제품 디자인의 친근하고 독특한 정도에 따라 소비자의 디자인 선호와 구매 의도에 어떠한 차이가 있는지 단일 요인이 반복 측정된 이요인 분산 분석을 통해 비교 검증 하였다. 그 결과, T셔츠와 토스터기 모두에서 제품 디자인의 친근한-독특한 정도에 따라 소비자의 디자인 선호와 구매 의도에 유의미한 변화가 있었으나, 제품의 종류에 따라 그 양상에 차이가 있었다. T셔츠의 경우, 제품 디자인이 독특해질수록 소비자의 디자인 선호가 증가하였으나, 제품 구매 의도는 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 패션 제품과 같이 쾌락적 속성이 강한 제품에서 독특한 제품 디자인이 소비자의 디자인 선호를 증대시킬 수는 있으나, 항상 소비자의 구매로 연결되는 것이 아님을 반증하는 것이다. 이와는 반대로 토스터기의 경우, 소비자는 독특한 디자인보다 친근한 디자인에 대해 보다 높은 디자인 선호와 구매 의도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 제품의 기능적 특성이 중요한 실용적 제품의 경우 친근한 디자인에 대한 소비자의 디자인 선호가 높으며 이러한 선호가 구매로 연결될 수 있음을 나타낸다. 본 연구는 소비재 제품의 특징을 제품의 속성에 따라 쾌락적-실용적 제품으로 구분하고, 제품 속성에 따라 어떠한 디자인 전략이 필요한지 살펴보았다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 소비재 기업의 제품 디자인 전략의 방향 제시 및 매출 증대를 위한 전략 도출이 가능하리라 생각한다. This study investigated the influence of product design (familiarity vs. novelty) and product type (utilitarian product vs. hodonic product) on consumers’ design preference and purchase intention. Basically, both familiar and novel design attributes improve consumers’ design preference by inducing their aesthetic pleasure. However, this study anticipated that this influence would vary depending on the hedonic-utilitarian attributes of the product. On the basis of this assumption, this study collected data through a questionnaire with T-shirts, which is a fashion product with strong hedonic attributes, and toasters, which is a kitchen appliance with strong utilitarian attributes, as its stimuli. Through the collected data, we examined how consumers’ design preference and purchase intention differ according to familiarity and novelty in product design. Prior to the main investigation, a pre-test was conducted to develop research stimuli for T-shirts and toasters. The pre-test consisted of a total of four stages, and as a result, five-step stimuli with familiar design-ordinary design-novel design were developed. In order to investigate the design preference and purchase intention of the stimuli, an online survey was administered to 117 people in their 20s. The collected data was analyzed applying SPSS for Windows. We conducted two two-factor ANOVAs with repeated measurement on one factor with product type as an independent variable (utilitarian product vs. hedonic product), and design preference and purchase intention according to the change of the design attribute (from very familiar design to very novel design) as a repeated measurement variable, respectively. The LSD test was added to confirm the statistical significance of the repeated measured values according to the change of the design attribute. The results of the ANOVA analyses are as follows. In both the stimuli of T-shirts and toasters, consumers’ design preference and purchase intention significantly changed depending on familiarity and novelty of product design. However, the pattern of change varied according to the type of product. In the case of T-shirts (hedonic product), consumers’ design preference increased as the product design became more novel, but their purchase intention decreased. These results imply that a novel product design can improve consumers’ preference for a design, but a novel product design is not always connected to their purchase in the case of products having strong hedonic attributes such as fashion products. In the case of toasters, consumers’ design preference was the highest for ordinary design compared to a familiar or novel design, and the pattern of purchase intention was similar to that of design preference. These results illustrate that consumers’ preference for an ordinary design is the highest compared to familiar or novel designs for utilitarian products where the functional characteristics of products are important like kitchen appliances, and such preferences can lead to their purchase. In consumer goods markets where the differentiation of product quality is difficult due to recent technological improvements, design competitiveness is a crucial factor for determining companies’ survival. However, previous studies on which designs are desirable to consumers have not been sufficiently executed. This study identified what kinds of design strategies are effective for hedonic and utilitarian products. The results of this study could contribute to deriving the direction of product design strategies in consumer goods companies.

일제말기 생산소설 연구

조진기(Cho Jin-ki) 우리말글학회 2008 우리말 글 Vol.42 No.-

Since 1937, expanding the Pacific War following Sino-Japanese War, Japanese imperialism had focused national policies on conducting a war. Under these ircum-stances, the korean literature became subordinate to political authority and supported national polices, that was so called national policy literature. Under this period, production literature was raised its head as one of national policy literature. The production novels of the end of Japanese imperialism have shown four types. The first one showed the way of devotion to the country through production. The second one showed the way of repaying national grace through labor service for national infrastructure and production increase. The third focused on a human being to make an effort to exploit underground resources. The last was intend to infuse imperialistic standpoints on labor to encourage intellectual's return to the farm and to put everybody in the scene of labor. The expansion of war in this period led to the impoverishment of rural communities. It caused a manpower shortage in farm villages by putting farmers in battlefields. at the same time it demanded more of war supplies. To overcome the irony, Japanese imperialism encouraged production under the slogan of regeneration of farm household. Therefore, we can see the subjects of production novels as mentioned above, novelized Japanese imperialist policies as they were.

일제말기 생산소설의 정치적 성격 연구

이경재 한중인문학회 2010 한중인문학연구 Vol.29 No.-

한국문학은 문학의 정치화 또는 국민화(nationalization)를 대표하는 사례라고 할 수 있다. 그 중에서도 일제 말기는 정치적인 이념이나 환경이 문학에 가장 큰 영향을 준 시기이다. 지금까지 일제 말기 문학에 대한 논의는 ‘암흑기’라는 명칭이 보여주듯이 지나치게 국책문학의 측면에서만 다루어졌다. 그러나 당대 사회의 생산관계에 대한 조명과 지배 이데올로기에 대한 균열과 저항이라는 측면 역시 중요한 요소로 존재했다. 하나의 정치적 이념에 완전히 동화된 문학이란 존재할 수 없다. 모든 문학은 자기 완결성과 자기 부정이라는 이중성을 공유할 수밖에 없기 때문이다. 일제 말기 소설에서 균열과 틈을 찾아내는 작업은 탈식민과 탈근대를 위한 하나의 방법론이기도 하다. 먼저 일제 말기 생산소설이 제국의 식민담론에 대하여 어떤 균열과 저항의 지점들을 만들어내는지 살펴보았다. <백무선>에는 국책에의 순응과 저항이 동시에 나타나는데, 더욱 큰 비중을 차지하는 것은 후자 쪽이다. 생산력을 강조하는 인물들이 등장하기도 하지만, 노동 현장에서 직접적으로 맞닥뜨리는 일본인과 일제의 형상을 통해 제국의 억압적 힘을 날카롭게 비판하고 있다. 안회남의 <벼>는 농촌을 한없이 이상화하고 낭만화하여 실제 농촌이 지닌 여러 모순과 억압을 무화시키는 여타의 생산소설과는 달리, 농촌을 둘러싼 생산관계를 곡진하게 드러내고 있다. <빙원>, <목축기>, <멧돼지와 목탄> 등은 (무)의식적인 차원에서 제국의 힘과 담론에 대하여 균열을 일으키는 지점을 지니고 있다. 이것은 구조화된 양가성을 만들어내는데, 이를 통해 제국 담론의 자기 완결성에 흠집을 가하고 있다. 다음으로는 기존 논의에서는 다루지 못한 국책으로서의 생산소설들에 대하여 살펴 보았다. 석인해는 일제 말기 생산소설에서 일관되게 귀환의 서사를 보여준다. 이 때의 귀환은 전통, 동양, 국책으로의 회귀이고, 그 궁극적인 지향점은 ‘대동아 신질서 건설’에의 참여이다. 석인해는 일제 말기 전통과 동양적 가 치에 대한 강조가 친일로 이어지는 과정을 선명하게 보여주는 사례라 할 수 있다. <채석장>과 <동전>은 무갈등의 시공을 통해 국책을 그대로 받아쓰고 있는 소설이다. This Thesis studied the political character of production novels written in the end of japanese imperialism. Political ideology and circumstances had a big impact on korean literature in the end of japanese imperialism. In connection with comments on production-novel in the end of japanese imperialism, scholars emphasized the point of similarity with national policy. But resistance to nation policy was present in production-novel in the end of japanese imperialism. Resistance and adaptation to nation policy were compatible in <Baek Moo Seon>. But Resistance to nation policy was emphasized than adaptation. <Baek Moo Seon> bitterly criticized japanese and the repressive power of japanese imperialism. <A Paddy> revealed the production relation in agricultural districts. <An Ice Field>, <A Pasturage Record>, and <A Wild Boar and Charcoal> made a crack in empire's power and discourse. Seok In Hae's production-novel consistently showed the narrative of return. This return means a return to tradition, eastern and national policy. <A Quarry> and <Dong Jeon> took national policy.

근대소설 개념의 문제틀과 신경향파 개념의 구성

이원동(Lee, Won-dong) 한국어문학회 2014 語文學 Vol.0 No.124

This paper’s aim is that we can understand the prosess of composing concept of the new-thendendcy novel, by analyzing the monthly survey of the literary world in the middle of the 1920’s. In those days, A monly review was prevelant among the literary magazines, and many authors criticized their colleage-writer’s work. Even though, they were not professional reviewer, a monly review implicated the common-sense about ‘what is modern literaure’, or ‘what is a good novel’. At that time, what they thought a good novel was, to sum up, the organization of reprentiaton and the production og pleasure. Kim Gi jin and Park Young Hee, the early proletarian literature theorist, agreed partly this common-sense. However, Kim and Park, as the early proletarian literature theorist, had to explain the “special nature” of proletarian literature in the 1920’s. Kim and Park explained the special nature of proletarian literature as follow this. Firstly, they regarded auther’s view of the world as most important, as a subject matter in novel. This opinion was contrasted strikingly with the writer’s view of the time, in the 1920’s. But they saw the form of the novel, esepecially, the matter of description, very differently. About this description matter, the form of the novel, Kim understood, this matter was the he organization of reprentiaton and the production og pleasure. Kim’s view was nearly accord with the dominant view. Meanwhile, Park thought the discription matter, the form of the novel, as the matter of impicaion to the new world.

이기영의 생산소설 연구 : 『동천홍』,「광산촌」을 중심으로

이원동 한국어문학회 2004 語文學 Vol.0 No.85

There are two viewpoints that people would analyze the literature on the end of the Japanese imperialism as they criticize the existing viewpoint. Kim, Jae-yong said that we must find 'immanent logics(the subject's intention and the spontaneous agreement about Fascist)' Ryu, Bo-sun indicated that the pro-Japanese literary men were bewitched unconsciously by the Fascism on Japanese imperialism and Kang, Sang-hee criticized the viewpoint of judging the pro-Japanese literature on the basis of the angle of nationalism. In this paper, I studied on the Production-novel of Yi, Gi-young, DongChunHong(1942), GwangSanChon(1943). The following is a studying result. First, the Production-novel of Yi, Gi-young expressed to the ideology of superintendence but the immanent logic of his works on the Marxism of the past. An author viewed the present age through the concept of 'labor' or 'production' Second, it is out of balance and was broken to pieces that the 'narrtive logic' on the Mining-novel of Yi, Gi-young. I can deduce the fact that he has not accept constructively the ideology of superintendence by 'comments on literature' Japanese imperialism. This two conclusions are seemed that they are contradictory to each other, but we can understand that it is conscious or unconscious collision that were made by the ideology of superintendence and his own conviction.

벤야민 소설론에 대한 비평적 연구 -루카치의 세계를 횡단하여

남병수 ( Nam Byongsoo ) 한국비교문학회 2018 比較文學 Vol.0 No.75

본 논문은 발터 벤야민의 사유에 대한 ‘소설론적 관점에서의 읽기’를 시도함으로써 그간 다루어지지 않았던 학문적 논의가능성의 지평을 새롭게 개시하고, 또 기존 연구의 저변확대를 꾀하고자 하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 전방위적인 이론가이자 비평가로서의 벤야민은 그 명성에 걸맞게 한국의 인문학지형 전반에 걸쳐 많은 영향력을 미쳐왔다. 그러나 벤야민 수용 및 연구사의 궤적을 면면이 짚어보아도, 소설에 대한 이론적인 성찰만큼은 크게 다루어진 바가 없다. 문예론 역시 그의 중요한 연구와 비평적 실천의 영역이었음에도 불구하고 말이다. 무엇보다도 그 주된 혐의는 벤야민 스스로가 ‘정교하고 체계적인 소설론’을 정초하려고 시도하지 않았다는 사실에 돌려질 수가 있다. 더하여 그나마 소설에 대한 유의미한 사유를 담은 문장들 가운데서도 일부는 ‘소설을 반대하는’ 입장에서 쓰인 데 반해 나머지는 ‘소설에 대한 다분히 긍정적인’ 평가를 담고 있다는 점이, 또한 연구를 방해하는 중요한 문제가 된다고 하겠다. 본 논문은 제2장과 제3장을 할애하여 일견 양가적인 태도로 이해될 수 있는 벤야민의 두 견해를 충실하게 다룬다. 논의의 풍부함과 정교함을 더하고자 2장에서는 근현대 소설론의 대부로 손꼽히는 게오르그 루카치를 경유할 것이며, 3장에서는 벤야민 스스로의 긍정적인 평가가 담겨 있는 소설비평 텍스트들에 대한 읽기작업을 병행할 것이다. 끝으로 종장에 이르러서는 종합적 판단 하에 벤야민에게 씌워진 양가성의 혐의를 해소할 것이며, 더 나아가 벤야민 소설론의 가능성을 제안하는 데에까지 가닿게 될 것이다. This paper attempts to read the idea of Walter Benjamin from a ‘novel-theory point of view.’ It is to open up the horizon of possibility of academic debate that has not been covered in the past, and to expand the base of existing research. Benjamin, an all-round theorist and critic, has been influential in Korea's academic circle of humanities as his reputation. However, when retracing the past researches on Benjamin, it can be discovered that his theoretical reflection on novels has not much been dealt with, even though the literary theory was one of his major research and critical practice. Above all, it can be mainly attributed to the fact that Benjamin himself did not attempt to establish a ‘sophisticated and methodical novel-theory.’ In addition, some of Benjamin’s sentences containing meaningful ideas regarding novels were written as "opposition to“ novels, while the others contain "highly positive evaluations“ on novels, hindering the research. The paper devotes Chapter 2 and 3 to examine Benjamin's two perspectives that can be seen ambivalent at first. In order to add richness and sophistication to the discussion, Chapter 2 will go over Georg Lukacs, one of the master of modern and contemporary novel. In chapter 3, the paper will deal with the criticisms on novels that contain Benjamin's own positive evaluation. Finally in Chapter 4, the paper will dispel the suspicion on Benjamin of his ambivalence under comprehensive judgment, and will further suggest the possibility of Benjamin’s novel-theory.

윤백남의 대중문예운동과 신문연재 대중소설의 기획 - 1924~1930년 윤백남의 행적을 중심으로

백두산 한국현대문학회 2017 한국현대문학연구 Vol.0 No.53

This article examines the literary activities and meanings of Yoon Baek-Nam’s work from 1924 until 1930, a time when the author’s creative endeavors were centered on Yadam and the novel series published in newspapers. From 1924 until 1928, Yoon worked as a film director and an educator living in Gyeongnam. His critical mindset of combining tradition with popular culture was manifested through his directing and producing activities at Chosun Kinema and Baek-Nam Production. As the head teacher of the only Korean private school in Gimhae, Hapseonghakgyo, Yoon was also a senior member of the Gimhae Saturday Meetings where the organization’s activities were kept in check by the authorities. Yoon moved to Gyeongseong after a dispute with the Japanese authorities led to the confiscation of the school’s asset. The dire conditions of education and the agricultural society under the Japanese rule became the basis for advocating ‘universal education’ in popular literature theory. The misery behind the comedic elements, and the writing structure whereby the ironies of the Colonial period re-emerge in the ending as shown in the short story, “The wig and the clock,” written during this time are notable elements that appear throughout his Yadam and popular novels. Shinseoksuho-jeon, a novel published in Donga-Ilbo for 29 months is Yoon’s transitional work where he experimented with the compositional elements of a dramatic series. The tightly-constructed plots and conversations, discourse based on honorification and conversational language, and the storytelling style of Shinseoksuho-jeon are likened to the narrative of a raconteur. Shinseoksuho-jeon takes Jin Sheng-tan’s Shuihuzhuan as its motif, which conserves Yangsanbak as the resistor against state and ends as a story of a nightmare. Here, Yoon continued with the notion of ‘miserable comedy,’ developing his novel series based on the theme of restoration. 이 글은 1924~1930년 윤백남의 행적을 검토하며, 야담과 신문연재소설 창작을활동의 중심으로 전환하던 시기 그의 문예활동의 행적과 의미를 검토하는 논문이다. 1924년부터 1928년까지 백남은 경남에 거주하면서 영화감독과 교육자로 활동하였다. 전통과 대중성의 결합을 모색한 백남의 비평적 관점은 부산의 조선키네마와 백남프로덕션에서의 감독 및 제작 활동으로 실천되었다. 경남 유일의 조선인 사학 합성학교의 교장으로 재임하면서 백남은 김해토요회의 상무간사를 맡았고, ‘불온분자’ 들이 모여 있었던 토요회의 활동은 당국의 견제를 받았다. 합성학교 분규로 학교자산이 일제에 강탈된 시기 백남은 경성으로 상경한다. 아동교육, 농촌사회가 처한 식민지적 현실의 관찰과 경험은 이후 문예운동론에서 역설하는 ‘보편적 교육’을 위한 대중문예론 매체론의 토대가 되었다. 이 시기의 단편 「월자와 시계」에 드러나는 ‘비참한 코미디’의 감각, 해학적 소재와 서사진행 가운데 식민지 현실의 비참함과 아이러니가 환기되는 결말의 구조는 이후 창작한 야담과 대중소설을 관통하는 정조로서 주목할 만하다. 『동아일보』에 29개월동안 연재된 「신석수호전」은 드라마적 글쓰기를 바탕으로 신문연재소설의 구성방식을 실험하며 직업적 문필가로 전회하였던 과도기의 작품이다. 축약적 사건전개와 대화, 높임, 입말에 비중을 둔 담화, 이야기조의 문체를 주로 사용한 「신석수호전」은 이야기꾼의 구연방식에 근접해 있었다. 김성탄본을 저본으로, 결말에서 국가에 저항하는 ‘양산박’을 온전히 남기며 흉몽의 서사로 끝맺음한 「신석수호전」에서 그는 ‘비참한 코미디’의 정조를 이어갔으며 반정사를 주제로 연속된 그의 신문연재소설 기획을 구체화한다.
