AB - This paper aims at exploring the status of newspaper novels during the Independence Period by looking into the changes in the newspaper landscape as the public sphere of the time. The newspaper media during this period went to the front as an important political tool, strongly expressing their political point of views, but the continued control and regulation during the following period, from the United States Army Military Government in Korea to the Foundation of the Republic of Korea, realigned the newspaper media to become right-wing. Against this backdrop,newspaper novels were created and enjoyed by writers pursuing reputation mainly in the newly emerged newspapers. The aspiration for nation-building displayed in these newspaper novels of the time took different forms with conflicting ideologies in the midst of chaotic social situation and rapidly changing media landscape. Novels which described the reality of the time were equipped with timeliness and enlightenment, while different ideological narratives were playing a leading role in the public discourse. So much so that love narratives lost momentum. In addition,during this period, historical novels were stronger in numbers than ideological narrations thanks to keen interest in Korean and Korean History education and more flexible writing environment. Until the Republic of Korea was founded, however,these historical novels were published mainly in nascent newspapers. These historical novels tried to bring back national heroes in touching upon timely subjects to publicly deal with the strong aspirations of the people, which had been excluded from public sphere during the Independence Period. Therefore, newspaper novels during this period can be characterized by their strengthened publicness which allowed the public discourse on people's passion for nation-building through various forms and different ideologies.
