A Study on the Children"s Literary Cultivation of North Korea in the 1950s - focused on Children’s Literature of the Central Committee of Chosun Writers" Association

  This study set out to investigate the children’s literary cultivation of North Korea in the 1950s based on Children’s Literature and the typography of “cultivation outside the school system” that played a certain role as education within the regime. It’s noticeable that the signs of social changes were reflected on literary education and cultivation for children in the 1950s from the perspective of literature history of North Korea. It was in 1954 that the status of readers began to rise through reading and creation education on the inside. The year of 1955, however, saw the emergence of authoritative efforts by the existing authors to deter such a movement. As opposed to the political intentions led by the government, they tried to raise the bar for readers to enter the scene by concentrating more on reading education than creation education. As a result, they engaged in considerable conflicts with general readers here and there. In those days, there was a change to the perception of who were the subjects of education and cultivation. In 1957, controversies appeared on the matter as political logic gradually sank in, which caused the existing writers to crack from the inside and accordingly to lose their political power. In 1958, the socialist regime started to infiltrate the political thoughts into the field of literary education and cultivation for children.
