ABSTRACT

This article is a study that examines KAPF's theoretical line at the time of the first direction change of KAPF and how it was implemented in Song Young's play by re-reading Song Young's "Why Mosquitoes Are Extinct" (1927.11.), which was included in the first issue of KAPF's Art Movement. In the meantime, the work has been particularly valued low among Song Young's early plays. Due to the reason that it was a work during early writing and the genre mark of a fairy tale play, the work has been understood the work with poor literary value. However, the work can be found to have really meaning, considering the acceptance context of Kropotkin in the colonial Joseon in the 1920s, the Bolshevism and Anarchism debate inside KAPF in 1927, and the theoretical line of the Marxist-Lenin Group(Third Front Group), and KAPF's organization movement and Lenin's organization theory. The work shows how Kropotkin's theory of Mutual Aid, which was enthusiastic by socialists in the early 1920s, was being modified from the perspective of the KAPF leadership, which excludes Anarchism and Unionism. It also provides clues to the way Lenin's organization theory via Fukumoto, was implemented in Song Young's early plays. In addition, through the work, it is possible to confirm the impact of the Kropotkin translation by Osugi Sakae and Yamakawa Hitoshi and Lenin's translation by Fukumoto Kazuo on the socialist movement of colonial Joseon and the organization movement of KAPF in the 1920s. Therefore, Song Young's "Why Mosquitoes Are Extinct" should be reevaluated as an important work that can examine the acceptance aspect of socialist theory in the 1920s and the change of socialist epistemology.
