The purpose of this article is to examine the structure of the discourse of ‘calling,’ which was actively discussed in the early 1920s, and explain it in the context of ‘Community-ism.’ The concept of ‘heaven,’ which operates on the ideological grounds of ‘calling,’ requires attention, in that it can be interpreted according to the context in which the signifier is placed, as a supplement to a new one in the traditional signifier. The intellectuals of those days sought to establish a basis for the existence of the modern subject by replacing ‘heaven,’ which has been recognized as a transcendent object of the outside, with the divinity that is provided in the human being, and to find a close bond between the individual and the whole through the ‘calling.’ Based on this ’community-ism,’ contemporary art theory tried to harmonize the particularity of the individual with the subjectivity of others by combining the concepts of ‘personality’ and ‘life,’ and further harmonized with the particularity of the whole Joseon nation. In fact, the contemporary poetry of the time showed that each creature reveals ‘life’ by preserving its place and manifesting its own value through ‘labor’ at the community level. Therefore, it is important to examine the concept of ‘heaven’ and the discourse of ‘calling’ based on it in order to grasp the principle of ‘community-ism’ which propelled the ideological system of Joseon in the early 1920s.
