조선 거주 일본인의 일본어 문학의 형성과 (비)동시대성 ― 「韓半島」와 「朝鮮之實業」의 문예란을 중심으로 ―

Abstract

The literary columns of “the Korean Peninsula (韓半島)” and “Chosen's Achievements (朝鮮之實業)” show two major aspects in regard to historical origin of Japanese literature created under the dominant influence of Korean language. Particularly, literary columns of “the Korean Peninsula” focused more on novels even in parallel with imitation of magazines published in Japan. However, they emphasized anything differentiated from Japanese ‘mainland’ and developed a variety of arguments and trials to acquire their original identity of Japanese literature in ‘overseas land(外地)’. But such arguments and trials ended up with frustration as demonstrated well in the short‒lived publication of “the Korean Peninsula” just up to the 5th Volume. On the other hand, “Joseon's Achievements” revealed any desire for creating a Haiku‒based (based on Japanese original lyrics) independent literary world of in modern Korea, but had a tendency to depend on the literary world of Japanese mainland and ended up in frustration. They tended to pursue ‘something Japanese’ (though it was ‘something Japanese’ only in a colony). However, such a strong pursue caused ‘time lag’ as compared to Japanese mainland literature or literary world. That is, they sought to implement literary nostalgia through ‘the survival of Edo (江戸) era's traditional novel styles’ (“the Korean Peninsula”) or ‘the literary composition based on certain category such as Haiku’ (“Chosen's Achievements”). Such an orientation to something identical to or differentiated from ‘Japanese mainland’ literature was a starting point of modern desires that Japanese literature of ‘Japanese residents in Korea’ sought to express.
