植民地時期 한국문학의 檢閱場과 英雄人物의 쇠퇴

Abstract

The Field of Censorship and Decline of Heros in Colonial Korean Literature Han, Man-soo The Japanese censors put a close censorship on publications in colonial Korea. They even corrected or retouched without the writers' permission. It lead them to adjust their works in advance in many ways. It is fundamental that the private subject(writer, reader, printing and circulating capital) give impact to censorship system in both ways. This paper is focused on the way how censorship authorities forced creators to use ‘letter’. The reason why they executed this policy is because of the need of modern letter system for colonial modern policy. And in an efficient way, most administrative affairs ask documents which unavoidably consist of letter. It means that controlling ‘letter’ is much easier than that of ‘sound’. In addition, using letter could promote efficiency on arrangement of censorship human resource and block aggressive participation of the mass of people. When speakers face the prohibition of authority, they change aspects through three different roundabout methods : time, space, human. To sum up, this roundabout way deals with not ‘today/here’ but ‘yesterday/there’. When you write about political character, you can foreground less sensitive one instead. In the same way, the stories of national hero and impaired people represent public as an object.
