ABSTRACT

This study examines mooks in Gwangju in the 1980s, 30 years ago. The period of 30 years gives ample time for the objective criticism thereof. The historical magnitude of the criticism of 10 years of literary mooks in the 1980s is big, making it a great part of the literary ecosystem in Korean history of literature. In that magnitude, the emergence of mooks in Gwangju is the expression of the sublime will to positively, actively reflect and overcome the tragedy of the then history, specifically, the then literary history and spiritual history. With such a viewpoint, this study first examined the background behind the mook style emerging in Gwangju in the 1980s. Second, the contents of mooks, emerging in the 1980s, were examined. Third, the characteristics of all these mooks were examined. Gwangju mooks sought to widely deal with local culture as the fundamental field of the true national culture not from the sectism viewpoint. With the viewpoint that when a nation's culture is concentrated on Seoul (the center of the nation), it should face dangers, Gwangju mooks deeply thought of culture, and that culture seemed to be embraced as the sublime will to positively and actively reflect and overcome the tragedy of the then history, literary history and spiritual history, which were understood as the life energy or the entire community of the people.
