‘조선인 피폭자’와 ‘원폭 문학’ 속 가해자 의식 －이노우에 미쓰하루(井上光晴)의 『지상의 무리들(地の群れ)』을 중심으로－

Abstract

Mitsuharu Inoue’s “Groups on Earth” is a work whose significance as “an atomic bomb literature” is visible when viewed from within the genre and category of atomic bomb literature and its process. In the first and second atomic bomb literature debates, the limitations of “an atomic bomb literature” centered on exposed writers, which were marked as “experiential” and “misery” were pointed out, and Inoue’s “The Group on the Ground” was one of the attempts to achieve the potential of “an atomic bomb literature” as a future literature, and it can be said that it has the significance of the times. He challenges the existing methods and limitations of “an atomic bomb literature” by converting the keloid wound, which has been recognized as a symbol of “an atomic bomb otome,” into a symbol of a man who is a victim and a perpetrator of sexual violence. Nevertheless, the question to be asked here is whether the Koreans trapped in the unconsciousness and past of Unan Jikao in the work can really be irrelevant to the incident of dropping an atomic bomb at the center of the work and the damage, and it can be said that the limitations of this work and the limitations of the atomic bomb literature of the time are being revealed.
