‘文化政治’期 新聞의 位相과 反－檢閱의 內的論理― 1920年代 民間紙를 中心으로

Abstract

It was a great change cased by 3.1 Movement that the colonial power permitted the press media by Korean. Japanese Imperialism took this measure to uplift external images of Japan and to strengthen assimilationism. However, publication of several newspapers and various kinds of magazines changed fundamentallyspiritual history andlife cycle of the colonial Chosun(朝鮮). Newspaper functioned as a symbolic and practicable government in the colonial realities absent Korean government. Ironically, the colonial power established and realized its power daily and nationwide by inspecting and suppressing newspaper. Positions of the press media and effects on the colonized' s interior of censorship must be examined newly at these aspects. Agents of newspapers deployed various anti-censorship movements. Abolition of national discrimination and freedom of thought were core issues for them. These issue themselves were right but showedlimits of not being out of logics offered by Japanese Imperialism. Freedom of thought being repressed, history of modern thoughts in Korea got wrenched and limited. However, I hope to emphasize and remind that the colonial power' censorship for suppressing thoughts proves fragilityof Empire Japan's subjectivity and identity. Studying on censorship in the colonial Chosun(朝鮮) must be expand into re-questioning characteristics of Japan as a modern imperialist state.
