북한 문화의 형성, 1945∼1950 = North Korean Cultural Formation, 1945∼1950

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

〈Abstract〉North Korea, like other Marxist-Leninist regimes, was more than a political system. It
represented an attempt to create a total system that integrated politics, economy, society,
language, culture, and everyday life, based on the Soviet Union as the model of a 'new
civilization'. This article examines some of the ways in which politics and culture were
fused together in the formative years of the Democratic people's Republic of Korea,
focusing on the education system, literature, and cinema. North Korean cultural
formation relied on the example and input of the Soviet Union, but at the same time
emphasized a revitalized and 'modernized' Korean national culture that would be both
distinctly Korean and socialist.
