상하이의 憂鬱: 1930년대 해항도시 상하이의 삶과 기억- 김광주와 요코미쓰 리이치를 중심으로

Abstract

communism, nationalism and cosmopolitanism were intersecting and existed in the middle. Kim GwangJu, a writer from colonial Joseon, and Yokomitsu Reiichi, a writer from the Japanese Empire, visited Shanghai at a similar time, and we can find the common keyword "Melancholia" in the memory of the two. For Koreans living in colonies to the ruling class, "Melancholia" was bound to manifest itself as an overall psychological sign, and Japanese intellectuals also experienced "Melancholia" in the process of thinking about the relationship between the empire and the colony, blocked by the logic of the nation and the nation. The sensibility of "Melancholia" can be seen as an expression toward to the violence of the world around him and of individual helplessness against him, or as a force to break through such a world. Yokomitsu Riichi was pessimistic about himself, unable to transform himself into an active innovative force, blocked by the nation's logic. Meanwhile, Kim GwangJu experienced "Melancholia" in Shanghai as a colonial writer. This fact was a rebuttal of the fact that they were the owners of values colliding with their country, but at the same time the way they loved their country as a trauma. But there was a clear difference between the "Melancholia" of colonial writer Kim GwangJu and the "Melancholia" of the empire's author Yokomitsu Riichi. In this paper, we will look at the specifics of the "Melancholia" they have in Shanghai by analyzing the works of the two.
