동원되는 정체성, 교차되는 장소 : 1940년대 부산의 장소성

Abstract

Busan was the place where military transport and logistics were transported as the starting point of military transportation since the early days of the Sino-Japanese War in the early 20th century. This led to the starting point of dispatching Siberia, which began in 1918. In the 1930s, the colonial rule of Japan changed with the rise of the Manchuria Incident and the Sino-Japanese War. As a starting point for the logistical base for the enlargement of the Greater East Asia Cooperation, the place of Busan has become more important. Especially, the importance of transportation through Busan port was emphasized, and urban infrastructure such as railway and port was newly improved and importance as a logistics base was emphasized. Busan is the window for Imperial Japan to enter the continent, while colonial Koreans played the role of gateway to Japan as a space of academic and labor. Busan, however, was recognized as a boundary to people who were excluded from the flow, to reduce the power relations of ethnic groups and individuals. The stories that shows the nature of Busan as “gate” is an open space where Busan opened towards the new world, but at the same time closing to stamp the boundary of the individual's identity through monitoring and exclusion. The place where the body exposed to crime abandoned at the boundary of this political inequality and racism was the Busan which is the colonial gateway.
