This is a long-waited collection of literary criticism by the author, who has been active as a theorist and a practitioner of his theories of the national division system and national literature. Actively intervening in and responding to major social issues for decades, his original view and practical exploration of the division system have grown and developed with his theory of national literature. In this volume, he meticulously analyzes the theoretical significance of his theory of national literature in terms of changed reality and presents a resounding message of hope that is all the more valuable amidst the so-called crisis of literature stemming from rampant commercialism.
With the increasing significance of “national literature” as a literature that is not simply restricted to South Korea alone but is a heritage common to Koreans worldwide, Korean literature should all the more flourish properly as literature to prepare for the era of reunification. This is where the theory of a national literature that depends on a national language can meet and contribute to the global aspect of the support for literature and the arts.
Part 1 consists of pieces that combine literary criticism and analyses of domestic and international circumstances surrounding national literature. Part 2 consists of critiques of specific works that are noteworthy for their sensitivity and discernment. Part 3 collects various discussions in which the author has participated, including the realism-modernism debate. This collection is sure to energize literary creators and critics alike.
