ABSTRACT

This paper tries to examine and trace Lee Kwangsoo’s story before and after his return to the colonial Chosen with his text as a clue. It is also connected with the posture of a so-called mystery novelist by Michael D. Shin. Lee Kwangsoo’s return to the colonial Chosen clearly distinguished the time zone of before and after which corresponded with the space movement. If the previous time was related to the Dongnipsinmoon(독립신문) as semi-organ of the Shanghai Provisional Government, which is also an extension of the March 1 movement, the subsequent time would be directly linked to the 「Minjok Gaejoron(민족개조론)」 which was the target of condemnation and criticism of Chosen society. His return to the colonial Chosen, with his disgrace and stigma far exceeding his expectations, carries not only himself but also the splits of pre/post colonial Chosen. Therefore, his movements before and after his return to the colonial Chosen became a ‘complex’ event involving the public reality of Chosen in private experience and time. This paper examines the aspect of the de-politicization of culture against radicalism in the second and third chapters by pointing out that the transformations before and after his return was placed behind the fear of extinction caused by the Gando Disastrous Accident(간도사변). The shock and the sorrow of the Gando Disastrous Accident were expressed in the poetry and the editorial of Dongnipsinmoon(독립신문). And this incident led to a series of actions, including 「Minjok Gaejoron(민족개조론)」, which was called the Chosen version of Gandhi’s ideas further imprinted the paradox of civilization. In this context, this paper raises the necessity to re-read 「Heosaengjeon(허생전)」 and 「A revolutionary’s wife(혁명가의 아내)」. At the same time, this paper presented in chapter 4 that the conflict between nationalism and socialist camp, which was revealed by the argument with Lee Kiyoung, could be reenacted after liberation.
