개항기 부산항의 조선인과 일본인의 관계 형성

Abstract

This study began with trying to understand during the opening of the Port of Busan as a ‘Space of Entanglement' that diverse cultures clash and compromise. The open port was a space where the logical structures of dominant-dominated class and exploiting-exploited class, which were organized in the existing studies,as well as the entanglement between the imperialist power and indigenous power existed. First of all, we focused on the spatial variance of the open port, Busan, in order to analyze this. Before the opening, there was the isolated and exclusive pre-modern facility named Choryang Waegwan(草梁倭館) at the Port of Busan. However, the exclusive concession was established when the Port of Busan opened. The fences and gate, the symbol of control, were removed. The Port of Busan changed from the exclusive space just for Japanese to the Space of Entanglement where Korean had free access to. The entanglement between Korean and Japanese at the open port was confirmed by the method of business transactions. The transaction method during the opening was the putting-out system of credit transaction to hand over money or commercial products first and to receive the counter performance later. This method was based on mutual credit transactions, and the traditional element that had been preserved from the days when Waegwan existed. The entanglement inside the open port can be confirmed in cultural aspects. Korean language was taught in the Japanese school on the concession. At the school,Korean teacher was employed and the Korean classic novel was used as the teaching material. On the other hand, Korean students were also admitted to the Japanese school. The entanglement in cultural aspects can be confirmed in the awareness of Korean by Japanese who lived in Busan. Hazama Husataro[迫間房太郞], a representative Japanese capitalist of Busan, pursued an exploitation just as other Japanese colonists. However, he emphasized trust with the Korean who lived together in Busan.
