ABSTRACT

This thesis examined the correlation between socialism realism theory and cultural cultivation planning as sought by general magazines of the late 1930s, focusing on Cheongsaekjji, an art magazine that was first published in 1938 and issued until the year 1940. In addition, it drew out the general topography of magazine literature and looked into the position and role of Cheongsaekjji within that framework. Cheongsaekjji was abundant with not only creative works and professional criticism but also with articles about social and cultural phenomena that public readers could be interested in and articles that provided refinement and knowledge. This verifies that Cheongsaekjji not only read into the actual climate of Chosun society in the late 1930s but that it also attempted to connect the social and cultural phenomena of the times with learning. The scheme of Cheongsaekjji, as it tried to heighten public cultural consciousness by being absorbed into the daily lives of the public and generating a sense of enlightenment, had a sense of purpose that is identical to that of socialism realism, which possesses a “duty to socialistically refine the working masses”. General magazines were a form of media that filled the gap between daily living and consciousness.
