90년대 민족문학론과 신세대 문학론

Abstract

1990's means the period in which the argument is absent in korean literature history. That means korean literature critic in the 1990's could not play an important role. This is related to macro discussion or disappearance of macro ideology, moreover, means critical discussion did not catch up with the speed of consciousness and periodical sprit in these days. This does not mean, however, that 1990's is not the period in which there is no debate, instead, this includes much more controversial issues. In this context, we can discuss both on the national literature criticism which has became on realism and modernism. The important thing that an issue of national literature criticism in the 1990 suggests today's is self reassurance about the origin of renewal and the renewal of national criticism succeeding to it creatively. And we can notice on new generation literature debate. New generation literature is a possibility talking of future in korean literature. In this sense, the problems or the national literature criticism and the new generation literature criticism in the 1990 will be a certain standard in discussing postmodern and postmodernity, and further future that our literature.
