『국민문학』의 일본인 작가와 식민지 표상

Abstract

By the end of the period of japanese occupation, there were two japanese writer groups in 『kukminmukhak(國民文學)』, the only literary magazine in those day. An japanese writer group living in korea, and an japanese writer group living in japan. The former involved in the process of establishing the japanese literacy circle in korea, and they wanted to take root in korea. The latter lived in japan, the center of imperial, and they had imagination about korean and their life. The aims of this article is to explain of these japanese writer's representation of korea/korean. If they owned everything and were very powerful, they had no representation about korean. Meanwhile, if they did not succeed in japan, they wanted to take root in korea, so they thought of korea as their home. But they couldn't understand korean's mind, feeling, and customs. The other japanese writer group, living in japan, regarded korean as the same speech community, because they thought that japanese and korean were eastern nation groups sharing a common destiny, against the Western. But if they considered 'Tokyo' was the western culture's stronghold, they represented korea, making up japan's deficiency.
