다이쇼 시기 일본ㆍ식민지 조선의 민중예술론 : 로맹 롤랑의 ‘제국’ 횡단
The Theory of the People’s Art of Japan and Colonial Chosun in the Taisho Period - The Crossing of the Empire by Romain Rolland -
The theory of the people's art was widely developed throughout Japanese literary art world from the middle in 1910s to early in 1920s. The people’s art was originally considered the means of educational work for the people, which was raised by Honma Hisao. But the significance of the people’s art was changed into the means of struggle for the newly emerging class against the established old society by an anarchist, Osugi Sakae. Le theatre du peuple by Roman Rolland was sometimes mentioned as the theoretical basis for the theory of the people’s art. It is just Roman Rolland that influenced on Colonial Chosun with his idea of vitalism. The society of Colonial Chosun after The March First Movement paid attention to the political appearance of ‘the people’. Accordingly the discussion regarding the people’s art including popularization of literature and art was developed on the stage of mass media such as newspapers and magazines. The theory of the people’s art in the early 1920s quoted Romain Rolland and tended to insist the popularization of art on the level of human life. The theory of the people’s art reemerging in the middle of 1920s tended to obviously depend on Romain Rolland. It means that in comparison with the early theory of the people’s art, was emphasized the art as means of struggle against the established old society
