The Subject of Popular Literature and Labor's Handicrafts

In late 1970s, the mass literature has changed because of the rise of new literature according to the change of korea's social character. Because of drastic phenomenon of leaving the land and the industrialization, the factory worker produced in large quantities. As this overlap with intellectual literature, the memo and reportage that are based on experience of the worker themselves are joined. This has significant meaning that the subject of producing appears to the subject of literature, and also it is very important because it accelerates the subject debate of the race literature and play important role of the race literature. In late 1970s, pointing the limitation of degradation of the emotional intellectual literature, mass literature becomes the vitamin of the race literature. However, these literature are neglected completely in the history of contemporary literature and the frame of debating meaning and self-examination of the race literature. Therefore, In this writing the examination of the theory of race literature should be examined based on fine examination. Without the various creation of the mass, dealing with the theory of race literature is just reconfirming the defeatistic thought, is far from creative discourse and creation of the alternatives. In that meaning, the important problem of the theory of race literature is the problem of practicing subject, so I try to examine closely and clarify the result and limitation. The valuation of the theory of race literature at that time should begin at objective validity.
