일본, 적대와 연대의 이중주 -1950년대 한국지식인들의 대일인식과 한국문화(학)

Abstract

Northeast Asian Paradox Phenomenon makes people focus on the Korea-Japan Normalization Treaty which is the origin of current relationship between Korea and Japan. The Korea-Japan Normalization Treaty acquires starting point meaning since the 8.15 liberation movement. This thesis has tried to find out the origin, considering 65system as a knot for the relationship between Korea and Japan. This thesis mainly explores two things. First, how 1950s' perception of Japan has been made and spread out. Second, how Syngman Rhee government's anti-Japanism and Korean intellectuals perception of Japan to cultural aspect has been realized. Korean intellectuals' perception of Japan based on historicity, distinctiveness and newness in 1950s. And its anti- Japanism spread out through economic, exclusive theory, realism and fatalism. It is from not the colonizing mentality but the holding, mixing, interruption of a Korean-Japanese Conference. For the intellectuals, it was the time when they were ‘empirically’ confirmed that Japan was merely an invasive, aggressive or incursive counterpart, not a cooperative one because Japan was only of militarism or left wing in 1950s. Decolonizing of Japanese imperialism was achieved under the dissolution of SCAA. In 1950s’, Japanism was prevalent and even accelerated despite of extreme exclusion of Japanese style. Japanism was inevitable due to the psychological mechanism against Japan as a two-fold existence of denial, hatred/ imitation, chase, under anti-Japanism, even though they had tried to plant negative images through government supply including clean sweep of Japanese style exercise. It was not Japan, but ourselves that caused it. Censorship over Japan culture leads to not only abolishment of import but also crackdown on the introduced Japanese culture. And the logic of danger and pornography works. However; excessive regulation makes this situation worse. It proves the Japanese value more. The censorship encouraged the cultural tartaric. Pro-Japanese problem in 1950s had become public as the process of establishment of art academy. Pro-Japanese problem promoted Korean intellectuals' institutional reinstatement. Elevation of emotion for anti-Japanism and pro-Japanese literature reinstatement are contrasted with each other. And this is the intellectuals' recognition of Japan in 1950s’. This period was the period when we were locked in ‘empirical’ anti-communism and ‘empirical’ anti-Japanism.
