박태원의 소설과 고현학

Abstract

This study is to examine the relationship between the novels of Park Tae-won and Modernologio(in Esperanto). He, one of the representative authors of modernism in 1930's, wrote <Novelist Kubo's One Day>(1934), that is famous for the excellent modernist novel of that day. Until now this novel has been known to be produced by the method of Modernologio, which itsef is not accurately apprehended by many researchers. So this study made clear the origin, basic conception, the scientific character and epistemological principle of Modernologio, founded by Kon Wasiro, japanese sociologist of manners. Park Tae-won recognized Modernologio in Tokyo, Japan during his staying as student of Ho-Sei Univ, and thought to resolve his weakpoint of imagination to create the work of novel by aid of Modernologio. His idea was to progress the production of novel through two stage of writing, that is to say, at first stage to observe, collect, and note the data and then at second stage to express, describe, and transform the draft technically. Modernologio as the method of novel production aspire to make things defamiliarize, Ostranonie in Russian, so in extreme case fall literary creation into the fun of signs, die Ambivalenz des Zeichens in Germany. For the concept of Modernologio is equivalent to so called 'Ginja Hegemony', the fetishism of modernism. Park, Tae-won, as avante-garde of 'Ginja Hegemony', was the same grade of Yi, Sang, the familiar modernist poet and novelist, but was a cut inferior to him. Although he produced up-to-date novels, <Novelist Kubo's One Day> and others, at the end of Japanese colonial period degraded to the level of literary journeywork.
