Abstract

In a geopolitic view, modernization has been referred to a westernization of the world. In the very exact sense, the colonial situation of Chosun, which came along with capitalism, western modernity, and empire japan, meant a conditon that is worldy living places can’t be a stable world or a part of old completed world. In a way of Capitalism, the colonial place had to be in a relation with infiltrating outer world. Otherwise, It also faced the world as now-here living places, infiltrating exteriority, and the world itself which includes whole others. It was a ideal end of the modern literature that managing experitential living place in a consistent discipline. It was also the historical task of the colonial Chosun modern literature. I’ve intended not to measure how those ideal ends had attained, but to grasp the historicity of those pragmatic uses. It can be said that he ends of modern literature had substantial historicity when it was located in the colonial Chosun as a context. This Paper had focused on modern metropolis and empire in addition to the literature, in which worldly living places and the contemporary world were mixed. metropolis and empire are not only a place that relation between the far and the close became mixed-up, but the ground as disciplining of those relations and discipline itself. That became a reason for the literature, as a inner discipline and a discourse system, had resonant with those two places. In this study, I tried to grasp these three form of place and discipline―The literature, metropolis, empire―, which related living world and the world, in a overlapping of the imperial concept of ‘Habitat(Lebensraum)’ with ‘place(raum) of(s) living(leben)’, the concept of modern literature. Lee, Seo Ku’s 「New Kyoungseong Map」 made colonial city Kyoungseong as a sign of global, universal place which included Monaco, Morroco, and Hawaii and etc. At the meantime, metropolis Kyoungseong became a strategic place where the youth of Chosun could imitate a juissance of the western. It was a way of trying to transcending coloniality of Chosun. But It couldn’t be successful to describe in a discipline of modern literature, as long as world-citys―the objects of imitated juissance were far from the living place of the colonial youth. Therefore, it appeared as fragments, allegorys through form of exhibited proper names. Just after The Second Sino-Japan War(1937. 7), many Russian women’s name had appeared in Chosun Literature as allegory, and it was a symptom in this sense. along with the conscription Empire Japan forced identification of inner territories and one of its result was a conversion of marxism to nationalism. Along with it, mentioning Soviet-Russia was also forbidden. This period was that Chosun Peninsula were compelled to be a part of Japan-Manchu-Sino connection of ‘Lebensraum’, and meanwhile, Kyoto school who referred ‘The Transcendence of Modern’ claimed that Empire Japan, that defeated former russia and stoped the ‘westernization of the world’, became a subject of the world history. This very historic moment the colonial Chosun located in inner Empire Japan lost the Soviet Russia as a exteriority and captured. Choi, Myoungik’s 「Sim-mun(A pattern of Mind)」 exhibited white russian women, who settled in harbin, calling in a Chosun word which can translated into contemporary english as “western chick”, “white chick” and made them as allegory of Europe and Russia. The Narrator of 「Sim- mun」, Kim, Myoung-Il took superiority over ‘western chick’, which is inseparable from superiority of Empire Japan over Europe under the thesis of ‘The Transcendence of Modern’ during the Second World War. What important is that Empire Japan’s globality, university from overtaking Europe(or the westernized world) brought a possibility to the colonial elite in harbin. For him, It was a possibility to contact and consistently describe far western world(otherwise russia as a allegory of Europe) and the world in a own ‘place of life’. For overlapping of Empire Japan’s ‘Lebensraum’ and colony’s ‘place of life’, It had became possible to describe the world and ‘place of life’ in a unification of experiential sense, in other word, discipline of modern literature. In this sense, the empire who thought that it was overcoming modern world (the westernized world) and the colony elite who unified himself to Empire Japan from colonial Chosun, are combined with in a grothesque way in 「Sim-mun」.
