This article aims to review what difference and meaning war memory narratives have during the post-cold war era contrary to the memory of the Korean War narrative during the cold war era produced in Korean literature after liberation from Japanese colonialism. This article will survey the characteristics of the war memory narrative structured during the cold war era and discuss them in comparison with those of the war memory narrative revitalized during the post-cold war era. During the 1950s, there was an attempt to construct war memory from the anti-communist and cold war point of view to accept a flood of social tragic anecdotes that overemphasized the tragic aftermath of the war.
The original empirical characteristics of war memory novels tried to objectify the meaning of the war on the one hand and greatly decreased with the activation of an elaborate system of control, surveillance, and censorship on the other hand in the 1960s. However, the writers of the growth-experience generation that rebuilt Korea appeared after the middle of the 1970s newly admitted the fragmentary war memories of the growth period in the historical horizon and began to arrange the deaths and sacrifices of parents in a national historical context. The division narrative showed an extended understanding of history based on the historical awakening to war, criticizing the injustice of war from “the viewpoint of a young narrator,” a post-ideological subject toward war, and recording “public” father figures not yet included in public memory in history.
In the division narrative of Korean novels appearing in the 1980s the turning point to overthrow and dismantle the public war memory produced by the anti-communism and cold war structure was Taebaek sanmaek (Taebaek Mountain Range) by Jo Jeong-rae. Various division narratives described national violence, the massacre of civilians, partisan warfare, and the difficulties faced by families with relatives who fought for the communists. This showed an aspect that fully used the vitality of progressive academic discourses and social activities. The paper ends with a review of the formal characteristics and politico-cultural significance war memory narrative had in the utterance of silenced memory of the marginal men in the post-cold war era. While this article reviewed the value of Sonnim (A Guest) that called out historical departed souls and made them present to dismantle the war memory of a nation-state confirmed meaningful literary examples that feminine subjects called out detailed feminine memories and made them escape from silence and frozen state in Park Wan-seo’s various novel texts and Jo Eun’s novel Chimmugeuro jieun jip (A House Built of Silence). Through this review it is understood that the rewriting of war memory in Korean literature had been started along the right lines.
