AB - In the 1970s, Park Yong-sook developed a unique perspective that traversed both literature and art. He believed that phenomenology, which was a central theme in the art world at the time, should transcend ontology and become a social existence. He warned against the creation of new illusions: Western culture and the bourgeois class. His aim was to explain the two subjects — nation and proletariat — identified in the discourse of the Third World through phenomenology.
Park enriched the layers of discourse by combining phenomenology and the people/national theory, two pillars of Korean intellectual community in the 1970s. Furthermore, it demonstrated the possibility of bonding between the people/national discourse and modernism, which appeared to have no contact. Starting from Park’s logic, grasping the topography of phenomenological nationalism will be a task for the future.
