Abstract

From the end of Chosun up to the Japanese colonial era, 1937’s deportation, exploitationof Central Asia, collapse of Soviet Union, and this global era, the journey of Goryeo people society’sdiaspora has been absolutely severe. Particularly, the history of desperate struggle theyhad to go through in the anti-Japanese national strife during the Japanese colonial era, 1937’sdeportation, and the system of ‘Soviet totalitarianism’ is incomparable to any events that havetaken place in the history of Korean people’s migration/emigration. The space of Goryeo peoplesociety’s historical, political, ideological, and socio-cultural struggle is plainly revealedthrough the people-related newspaper/media or schools/communities cultivated in theLittoral Province/Central Asia. 『Seonbong』, the Hangeul newspaper in the Littoral Province, and 『Lenin Banner』and『Goryeo Ilbo』 published after 1937’s deportation in Central Asia are very unique as writtenrecords containing Goryeo people society’s historical and socio-cultural standpointholistically. In particular, a variety of literary works introduced in 『Seonbong』, 『LeninBanner』, and 『Goryeo Ilbo』 are noteworthy in that they employed topics as Goryeo peoplesociety’s pioneering spirit, anti-Japanese national movement in the Japanese colonial era, deportationin 1937, ‘Soviet totalitarianism’ in Stalin’s reign, the collapse of SovietUnion, or self (national)-identity in the global era. They are also equipped with characteristicsas the historical testimonies of researching into the time and space distinctiveness of Goryeopeople society thoroughly interspersed with basinization/nomadization. For the last one century, however, it has been failed to apply historical, socio-educational,or culture-artistic approaches to Goryeo people’s society in the former Soviet Union orbitsystematically. It should be natural in consideration of the radical time of East-West conflictand the division of Korea. Meanwhile, as the centripetal and centrifugal force of diaspora, economicmentality, and attention to transnation have recently formed discourse academically,the view to look at Korean people’s society residing overseas has changed. For the sake of nationalcompetitiveness in this global age, now we should take note of ‘the area of lead roles’ vitalizedoutside of Korea including not just Goryeo people in the former Soviet Union orbitbut also Chosun-jok in China, Koreans residing in Japan, miners and nurses dispatched toGermany, farming population that moved to South America, and anticommunist prisoners,too.
