| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper examines the Kim Il-sung discourse [hereafter Kim discourse] as a modern myth formed in the 20th century; it investigates what makes the Kim discourse a modern myth and considers the myth's characteristics. The Kim discourse is frequently regarded as a myth; however, why it should be considered a myth in the strict literary meaning has been scarcely studied. |
