This study is primarily aimed at identifying the logical structure and historical form of accepting and reproducing 'Africa' by comprehensively investigating and analyzing images, representations, and discourse about Africa that appear in modern Korean literature.
Since modern times, Korean literature has had extensive cultural contact with 'Africa' in a direct or indirect way, and this interaction with non-Western countries has had a considerable impact on the identity of Korean modern literature. Nevertheless, the historical aspects of the "Africa" acceptance of Korean literature and cultural contacts were not much noted as the subjects of modern literature research. Even in the decapitation discourse, the discussion of "Africa" remains short-lived on the subject of rarity. In the study of modern Korean literature, 'Africa' is a subject that is suppressed and excluded.
The oblivion and alienation of "Africa" that appears in modern Korean literature is the result of Western-centeredness and the product of internal Orientalism. The subjectivity of modern Korean literature was maintained by imagining and recreating hitters inferior to himself. This unconscious inner Orientalism is repeated in literary studies as well. The non-Western hitters, for example, indifference and ignorance about the influence of African countries' literature and culture on Korean literature is a case in point.
In order for Korean modern literature to produce a new type of decadent discourse that can criticize and break up Western-centeredism, it must expand and deepen its reflective perception of internal Orientalism, which suppresses and excludes hitters within it. In addition, in order to recognize the frame of colonization that reproduces inner Orientalism, it is necessary to restore the look outside that frame, the memory of contact and solidarity with non-Western peers. This is why this study seeks to restore cultural memories about 'Africa,' a forgotten and excluded hitter in the history of modern Korean literature.
From this premise, this study establishes the following secondary research objectives: In other words, the study aims to analyze the mechanism of modern Korean literature as an ideological device to reproduce the type 1 'Africa' while revealing the patterns of changes in Korean modern literature that are refracted and reconstructed through acceptance, understanding, contact and convergence of 'Africa'. In particular, we intend to identify the characteristics of modern Korean literature that recognize 'Africa' as a batter in the world of the 3 secretarial sphere and establish self-identity in relation to the non-Western world.
To achieve this goal, the detailed tasks that this study carries out include:
First, from the period of the modern transition to the present, a systematic list of images, representations, discourse and 'African literature' reproduced in modern literature text such as novels, plays, essays, essays, academic articles, reports, travel journals, memoirs, diaries, articles, etc. are compiled and a database is built.
Second, the reproduction method in which modern Korean literature imagines 'Africa' is grasped in the context of social and cultural text, and its historical structure and character are analyzed. Furthermore, from a syntactic point of view, it looks at the historical changes of the "African Reproduction System" and forms its form. These discussions are basic studies that secure the academic objectivity of 'African Represents' research and establish research areas.
Third, it will identify the logic and structure in which Korean modern literature constitutes self-identity in its relationship with others, "Africa" and "African literature," and examine from a variety of perspectives on the involvement of ideologies associated with it. It categorizes and analyzes typology raised by "African Represents" into major issues in cultural and political science, including nature (resources), race, ethnicity, region and gender (women), and thus produces critical discussions on the colonization of modern Korean literature.
Fourth, it describes the changing patterns of Korean literature that appear through contact with the cultural elements of "Africa" and the acceptance of "African literature" from a common perspective. In addition, it will study both Korean cultural factors that are accepted in Africa and Korean modern literature works in parallel with local research and discourse analysis. The study on the acceptance of Korean culture in Africa is a comparative cultural consideration needed to make a more objective and three-dimensional understanding of the aspects of cultural contacts taking place in Korea's cultural contact areas.
Fifth, from the point of view of the secretary, reconstruct the cultural contact between Korean modern literature and 'Africa' to extract its characteristic aspects, and discover the self-awareness and self-skills of Korean modern literature as a member of the non-Western world. Such discussions produce a decadent discourse on the identity of Korean modern literature, which has been transformed by intersecting and contacting the non-Western world, while restoring the cultural heritage that Korean modern literature has embraced and understood "African" and "African literature.“
