A Study on the Resistance Consciousness of Song Ki-sook and Kim Nam-joo
Literature that deals with sacrifices and resistance that risked their lives is timeless. The history written in full body language by writers who faced contradictions of the times is the achievement of Korean literature. All human beings should be equal under heaven. Novelist Song Ki-sook and poet Kim Nam-joo are writers who paid attention to the lives of the people who fought, resisted, and struggled to live. Song Ki-sook is a novelist who became a historical event in a narrative that recreates the historical events of the tenant farming dispute and the Donghak Peasant Movement, and showed a sense of resistance through her work resisting large landlords and dictatorship. Kim Nam-joo expressed a sense of resistance from the protagonist of a historical event that criticized the authoritarian power to a poet who did not forget the status of a revolutionary warrior even when he became trapped. Although Song Ki-sook and Kim Nam-joo had different literary starts, they maintained a characteristic of Gwangju and Jeonnam literature and maintained their position as Korean literature by resisting the times and power. Limitations based on the theory of writers will be supplemented by the theory of works.
