1960 년대 하유상 희곡의 대중성 연구 = A Study on the mass - cultural properties of a Dramatist Ha Yoo - Sang`s plays in 1960`s

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As d dramatist, Ha Yoo-Sang`s consciousness passing through his plays, radio and TV dramas and screenplays, is summarized as a slogan, `each human conscience and purism, home`s peace, and social justice`. As this slogan is based on the social morality, it necessarily has the properties of a patriarchal and political power-centralized ideology. So his critical consciousness of the existing society, is superficial and formal. Finally it expresses the poverty of his thought. Strictly speaking, his critical consciousness in his works is not criticism itself but obedience. Paradoxically his progressivism is the shell of conservatism. And at this situation, he had strong leanings toward mass cultural writings with the influence of mass media. In a true sense, Korean mass media culture started from 1960`s. At this time many young playwrights were deeply concerned with radio and TV broadcasting, and motion picture, and wrote radio and TV dramas and screenplays. This is the main reason that generally his play`s theme is not deep and artistic but popular, and considers him as the representative of popular playwrights.
