The radical theory of the national literature in the 1980’s, through the opposition between the subject and the other, was based upon the strategic writing in which the other is actively excluded and the other is subject to the subject. Such strategic writing made the radical theorists of the national literature gain blind self- identity lacking self-reflection and create a literary theory, which emphasizes the outlook on the world of the labour class exclusively.
Kim, Myoung In, adopting Chae, Kwang Seok’s logic, maintained that in the literary works of intellectuals, the view of the world of ‘working productive populace’ should be accepted through ‘ontological determination’ and this view should be shared with one and another, saying now literature is in danger. In the meantime, Cho, Jeong Hwan, criticizing popular ‘national literary theory’ as ‘populism’ and insisting we acquire ‘the partisanship of the labour class’ in order to overcome the ‘populism’, advocated the literary theory of ‘labour liberation’.
The logic of Kim and Cho was the logical peak of the national literary theory and other the hand it was the limitation of he national literary theory. Since the advent of the national literary theory in the 1970’s, the theory has been connected with the theory of the literary movement based upon social change all the time. In the 1970’s, when the concept of populace was discussed in earnest, it was defined somewhat vaguely as “always majority, and people in charge of production directly but both suppresses and cultural alienators”. Afterwards, in the national literary theory, it is defined as an avant-garde class (labour class) which leads the populace right. Under the situation the logic of Kim and Cho was a necessary fruit of the national literary theory as a literary movement. Especially, the logic of Cho showed ‘exclusivity’ typically which may occur when the national literary theory developed in the light of ‘class’.
The logic of Jeong, Nam Young, who has argued with Kweon, Seong Woo and Kim, Young Hyun, too, corresponded with that of Cho. The ground that Kweon, in the course of arguing with Jeon, could rebuke Jeong and Cho as ‘doctrinists’ is also derived from their ‘exclusive literary theory’
Recently, based on the concept of modernity, an effort to grope for the national literary theory with a new view now bears fruit, deviating from the long-pending bipolar opposition between realism and modernism. In the 70’s and 80’s, the national literary theory developed in the way of excluding the modernism, on the basis of oppositional relationship between the realism and the modernism. On the other hand, in the 90’s, the theory is supposed to develop in the way of accepting the possibilities of the national literature in the realism and the modernism, actively. The new attempt of the national literature camp is expected to extend the extension and intension of the national literature.
