식민지 시기의 문학 담론과 일본어 신문의 전통시가 - 1910〜1920년대『조선시보(朝鮮時報)』의 운문 문예물을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study examines the literary discourse of The Chosen Jiho, a major media of early modern Busan and overviews the works of verse literature in The Chosen Jiho in the 1910s and 1920s. The role of local newspapers in the Japanese colonial period and the identity of modern colonial city Busan is exemplified by looking at the pattern of how Japanese traditional poetry, the ‘literary representation’ highlighted through literary discourse, was published in The Chosen Jiho as works of verse literature. As a result, it was possible to understand the colonial media policy through Japanese newspaper. In other words, the importance of literature and the need for literature education were emphasized commonly in the series of literary discourses published in The Chosen Jiho, and Waka, Japanese traditional poetry, is portrayed as literary representation. In fact, many traditional Japanese poetry were published in The Chosen Jiho in the 1910s and 1920s. Traditional poetry based on Tanka, Haiku, Senryu, and other Waka poetry have gone through transformations and was continuously published in newspapers. This tendency is mainly found in The Chosen Jiho and The Fusan Nippo and it especially stands out in the literary section of The Chosen Jiho. Generally, it is seen that provinces are less likely to be impacted by policy from the central government, but as the ideology of majority of editors in The Chosen Jiho was based on imperialism, it is inferred that the willingness to realize colonial imperialism in the province areas would have been stronger than other newspapers in that era. To disclose this fact, this study presents a list of “Verse Literature Series in The Chosen Jiho in the 1910s and 1920s – Tanka (Waka), Haiku, and other Poetry.” The traces of the expansion of colonial culture have been captured through the introduction of literary discourse, verse literature, and literature study groups in The Chosen Jiho. The literary discourse in The Chosen Jiho recommended Japanese poetry to be made into national songs, and used the verse literature to further spread Japanese traditional poetry.
