관문 도시 부산과 ‘서발턴’ 역사 연구의 필요성과 한계

Abstract

Busan was planned and formed as a modern colonial city by Japanese imperialism and the Japanese iving in Busan. After liberation, it accommodated politically repatriated compatriots and refugees during the hot and cold wars, while social refugees and immigrants were accommodated and hierarchized after the war. It was a gateway city. And in that border space, under the hierarchy of ‘colonial/cold war state-patriarchal-capitalist power’ or the violence of power, there are bound to be various subalterns who are visible and invisible, while at the same time complying with and resisting the violence of power. There wasn't. Until now, limited research has been conducted only on subjects who have gone through a process of subjectivation, either compliant or resistant, in the dichotomous correspondence between modern power and subjectivity. However, as mentioned earlier, modern power is connected by the Borromeo belt of colonial/cold war-patriarchal-capital power, complementing each other, and producing multi-layered subjects, objects, and non-bodies, or subalterns, at various levels. However, because these subalterns are subjectified by or together with power, they are only reproduced from the perspective of power and subject. Instead of viewing the power representation as a single power relationship, it is necessary to confirm the power relationship at a multi-layered level, while striving for the historical representation of the subaltern who ‘does not/cannot speak.’ In that sense, research on the history of Busan and the subaltern can be valuable nourishment for research on the region and people at the local level as well as the region and people at the regional level.
