A Study of Korean Modern Women's Literary History－Novel
－ focusing on the historic development of female language －

Kim, Mi-hyun / Hwang, Do-kyung / Kwag, Seung-mi

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the historical development of Korean modern women's novels focusing on female language. For this study, we divided the modern women's literary history into three parts : (1) 1910s ~ 1945, (2) 1945 ~ 1970, (3) 1970 ~ present.
At first period, women begin to express their oppressive situations and hidden desires for the first time. Therefore, they usually use 'the language of confession' like as autobiography and letter closely related to the ontological awakening as a woman. At second period enveloped in the mood of nothingness and ruins, women writers usually describe the tragic feelings of love lyrically and sensually through objective correlatives. But their story usually ends as the escape from reality or adaptation to destiny, so this can be estimated as a withdrawal in women's consciousness. After 1970s, women literature shows the great development. In this period, women writers try to expressive their various conflicting realities with `the double language' which depicts the conflicts between the self and the world, the ideal and the reality, inside and outside, men and women, and so on, and also pursues the harmony and fusion of them. This shows that women still stand on the conflicting situations between oppression and liberalization, under- standing and misunderstanding, extinction and revival.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

本稿는 女性意識이 드러난 言語에 초점을 두어, 한국의 現代 여성소설을 3期로 나누어 그 史的 展開와 意味를 살펴보고자 하였다.제1期(1910년대～해방 전)는 여성소설이 본격적으로 開花된 시기로, 女性作家들은 自敍傳이나 便紙와 같은 직접적인 告白의 언어를 통하여 비로소 ‘沈’을 벗어나 자신의 억눌린 상황이나 숨겨진 욕망을 드러낸다. 제2期(해방 이후～ 1960년대)는 625전쟁과 분단으로 인한 역사적 폐허의식, 실존적 허무감의 팽배 속에서 주로 비극적인 사랑의 감정을 客觀的 相關物을 통해 抒情的이고 感覺的으로 그리지만, 현실 도피적이고 운명 순응적인 歸結을 보인다는 점에서 여성의식의 後退로 보여진다. 제3期인 1970년대 이후 현재까지는 葛藤, 分裂과 함께 融合과 調和를 추구하는 二重의 언어를 통하여 억압과 해방, 단절과 소통의 여성의 갈등적 현존을 나타내면서 질적양적으로 刮目할 만한 成長을 한다.
