전후 일본영화 속 ‘조선인 강제징용’과 재일조선인 －언설이 미친 영향에 주목하여－

Abstract

In this article, we will focus on <third strait>, the first Japanese film since the end of World War II that deals entirely with “Forced Korean Recruitment.” In particular, I would like to examine the meaning of the movie that Koreans living in Japan are not the main characters, considering their relationship with discourse. As the historical research to date has already shown, the majority of Koreans living in Japan are not those who were brought to Japan and settled in the wake of the “forced arrest of Koreans”. However, it cannot be said that Koreans living in Japan are completely unrelated to the history and damage caused by the forced arrest of Koreans. Then, in the movie <third strait>, why are Koreans living in Japan positioned only as people around them, not as the main characters? In the movie, which depicts the history of forced removal of Koreans for the first time since the end of World War II, the antagonism between the theory and the representation of forced mobilization of Koreans in Japanese society will be visible. This is also an attempt to find out that the existence of Koreans in Japan, who never secured the complete victimhood of the “forced mobilization of Koreans,” has become the most appropriate target of the Japanese government to cover up the violence of colonial policies.
