식민자와 식민지인의 세 가지 만남

Abstract

This paper aims to clear up the mode of encounter of colonizer(Japanese) and colonized(Korean). Korean writers constructed the imagined community through writing in Korean language and creating independent space. It appears as driving out colonizer(Japanese) in novel. Colonizer do not appear as a character in Korean modern novels. But in the last period of the Japanese occupation colonizer and their language appear in the Korean novel. Colonizer(Japanese) appear as a brother, teacher, sweetheart, and life partner in the Korean novel the last period of the Japanese occupation. The first mode of the encounter of colonizer and colonized is that of brothers or teacher-pupil. Lee Kwangsu described the relation of Korean and Japanese as brother or teacher-pupil although he insisted the equality between them. It solidified the inequality of colonizer and colonized. The second mode of encounter of colonizer and colonized is that of lover or husband-wife. Kim Saryang described the family of 'Naisenittai(內鮮一體)' as the reproduction of racial discrimination, not unification of two nations. The third mode of encounter of colonizer and colonized is that of an accident. Yu Jino described the accidental encounter of Japanese and Korean as a chance to tell the particularity of Korean which is not reduced to universality of colonizer. Choi Junghee described the accidental encounter of Korean girl and Japanese soldier as a chnace to reveal the otherness of colonized.
