‘탈’식민 해방 투쟁과 제국의 문화 정치 －주변부 식민지의 ‘식민지성’과 혁명의 ‘유산’을 딛고

Abstract

Considering Postcolonialism a great effect in Korean humanities, this paper focuses on a basic critic perspective of Postcolonialism on the assumption that it has helped keenly understand for Colonialism of the daily life. Postcolonialism critically has analyzed and examined ‘self- exoticization’ and ‘self-orientalization’ as dialectic dynamics of globalization and localization in relation to politics, economy and culture which have been a result of Colonialism. But the existing studies of Korean humanities have consisently pursued self-confession and disclosure reconfirmed how much the peripheral intelligent is colonialism rather than tried to make clear ‘Imperialism’ of Empire in global colonialism. This can be proved numerous studies about the end of colonial period, they sometimes have blurred out sharp awareness of Postcolonialism by partly appropriating and usurping Postcolonialism. Thus nowadays contrapuntal criticism of Edward Side needs to define newly. Contrapuntal criticism of Edward Side has an theoretical methodology and practical theory of knowledge approaching a destructive result of Colonialism in terms of comparative studyto examine global and basic influence of Colonialism which run parallel between Empire and Colony. While this paper shares the issue of contrapuntal criticism of Edward Side, it also reexamines not only a total surveillance regime of Colonialization system and a full-scale coming of racism proposing such as Cesaire Aime, Fanon Frantz, Memmi Albert previously said in this paper two chapter but also ‘heritage’ and meaning of anti-colonial liberation struggle intending for this destruction and clearing of Colonialization system. Colonial people wanted to eliminate the trace of Colonialism tied themselves, but because of not easy to it and too late coming of anti-colonial liberation struggle they felt frustration. However this belated coming of anti-colonial liberation struggle brought about new possibility of secularization and regionalism of culture translated as a important political-social property for liberation of Colonial people. Edward Side showed that ‘Imperialism’ of Empire has been at working by suppressing Colony through contrapuntal criticism which put this revolutionary ‘heritage’ of liberation and resistance struggle in metropolis of Empire. For example Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, he argued, contributed to suppress and eliminate Colony in culture of Empire by mediating and displacing political-social Colonialism with domestic strategy of gendered sexuality. This contrapuntal criticism of Edward Side awakes us how basic critic view of Postcolonialism effectively define interdependent and coincident implication and connection between ‘Imperialism’ of Empire and ‘Colonialism’ of colony. Through theoretical examination of two and three chapter, this paper provides a stepping stone for developing a concrete and open view about anti-colonial liberation struggle which can embrace threefold temporality of the past, the present and the future rising from ‘Colonialism’ of the peripheral colony and ‘heritage’ of revolution as an example Oh, Gi-Young’s earnest wish of nation(1946).
