AB - This article explores the attitude and episteme toward modernization and historical narrative in South Korean liberal and nationalistic intellectuals in the 1960s–1970s. ‘Theory of National Literature’ of Ch’angjak kwa pip’yŏng (“Creation and Criticism”) originated from the cultural modernization movement in the 1960s.
Their concept of ‘modernity’ was redefined from industrialization to an ideal society of freedom and love, and finally into anti-feudalism, antiforeign forces and the completion of exposing comprador modernization.
They had an aspect of constantly expanding into something futuristic that should be pursued in each period.
In the historical narrative, a tendency to seek the ideology of modernization appeared in Korea’s modern history in line with the introduction of the theory of underdeveloped countries. After Ch’angjak kwa pip’yŏng, the structure of historical ‘narrative’ changed to find the possibility of modernization in history.
