강경애론(姜敬愛論): 작가의식을 중심으로

초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine the writer’s conscious ness of Kang Gyeong-ae, who presented critical realist literature based on her intense perception of reality in the 1930s. The extreme poverty that Kang Kyeong-ae experienced as a child became a key factor in her consciousness as a writer. Due to poverty, her mother remarried and started an unconventional family. Furthermore, her awareness of poverty led her to create works that depicted the suffering of women and their awareness of women’s liberation. It is also worth noting that she was a member of the Geunwoohoe group, which carried out an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal enlightenment movement. Kang Gyeong-ae’s husband, Jang Ha-il, who was a socialist with considerable literary knowledge, had a great influence on her consciousness as a writer, acting as both an ideological comrade and literary companion. Kang Gyeong-ae recognized the colonial reality as a con front ation and conflict between the propertied class and the proletariat, and expressed constant interest and affection for the people living tragically there. As a result, the goal of Kang Gyeong-ae’s literary ideology was the liberation of the proletariat, which she deeply longed for.
