중국문학사 다시쓰기 작업의 문화사적 의미 - 魯迅의 『中國小說史略』을 중심으로

Abstract

Lu Xun’s “A Brief History of Chinese Novel” is the first theoretical introduction to the history of Chinese “fiction”. This paper will expand various existing discussions to pay attention to the meaning of rewriting of Chinese literary history centered on Lu Xun’s A Brief History of Chinese Novel.BR The New Cultural Movement advocated journalism under the banner of ‘anti-tradition’ and ‘science’, thus seeking changes in the system, form and content of literary works. This paper examines the cultural and historical trends as a process of discourse in the cultural public forum of the New Cultural Movement, instead of fixing them in a single and sequential flow.BR In this context, this study attempts to describe Chinese literary history in the early 20th century as a process of building a modern knowledge system, and analyze the internal momentum of the cultural public debate among Chinese intellectuals under the connection between Chinese Literature and the Western knowledge system.
