해방직후 북한의 민주주의 민족문화 건설 방안

Abstract

This Paper examined the discussions related to making national culture in Seoul and Pyongyang immediately after liberation, and the policy for making democratic national culture of North Korea.
 Immediately after liberation, left-wing theorists are criticized the chauvinistic view of culture that respects tradition as an obstacle to democracy and social change and risked distorting history and inducing fascism. They insisted on the rejection of national tradition. Cultural figures and communists of North Korea expressed a similar view of culture. However, there were settled more nationalistic model on construction of national culture, in the reality of establishing a people's democratic regime in North Korea.
 North Korea's policy of democratic national culture had three principles: realizing democratic ideas in the realm of culture, inheriting national cultural traditions, and introducing advanced foreign cultures. North Korea had laid the foundation for the establishment of the national culture by systematically promoting the literary and artistic project, the compilation of national history and language, and the preservation of historic sites.
