Abstract

One of major topics of literary world in wartime general mobilization system was literature mobilization. When the national labor movement progressed to make dramatic changes in personal lives and technologies and labor force were mobilized, the literary world accepted it a top priority to mobilize literators to build an advanced military nation. In accordance with this, the literators of colonial Joseon were required to become willing persons who actively cooperated with the wartime general mobilization, subjects of Japanese Empire. However, even though public discussion was held about literature mobilization of colonial Joseon's literators who valued self-discipline, literators of colonial Joseon couldnt' have own identities with a uniform way to become loyal subjects of Japanese Empire. First of all, they were 'colonial Joseon literators' who had multiple and different positions of region, nation, society and culture and differed each others. In 1943, the special volunteer system of navy was pronounced and implemented. This system was for all young men of colonial Joseon, the majority of volunteers was practically the urban poor and the lower class of rural areas who were excluded from the empire-colonial regime in colonial Joseon. In other words, even though the volunteer system homogeneously interpellated the young generations of colonial Joseon who were stratified by region and stratum, the real volunteers were heterogeneously composed of. At this time, the excluded persons from volunteer system were newly embraced. The persons whom the live politics of empire-colonial regime hided became to be revealed under the same mechanism. The state of exception, war, tended to unintentionally reveal pre-existing logic of exclusion with newly embracing the excluded persons. The rhetorics of each media which insisted the young of colonial Joseon, who were objects of the special volunteer system of navy, would conduct their duty as subjects of Japanese Empire strengthened in rhetorics of effervescence and delight with the implementation of this system. In the voice for the young of colonial Joseon, the critical subjects of wartime mobilization, to conduct their roles and duties, there were so many rhetorics to stimulate their desire for assimilation with 'Naisen Ittai(Intergration of Japan and Joseon)' logic as the center. In the mean time, at the implementation of this system, the Joseon Federation of General Mobilization made the literators and painters of colonial Joseon visit and inspect the marine corps, naval schools and facilities in Japan with the support of the Japanese Government General of Korea. The Kim, Sa-ryang's experience of navy inspection trip made him write the story of Bada-ui Norae(Songs of the Sea), which created male centric narratives drama from the time of invasion to Joseon/Asia by the western empires in the late of Joseon Dynasty to the breaking of Asia-Pacific War in the wartime general mobilization system in late colonial period. In the stories in which a person grew up to have a national and imperial subject, an ideology to emphasize the appropriateness of war conducted by the Japanese Empire was revealed but it didn't have narrative causality. Also, the growth process to have an imperial subject didn't have inner necessity, rather is was a result of vacuum, crack, coincidence and saltus and symbolically showed the impossibility of growth. In these facts, this work made us know the situation of vacuum and crack in literature of colonial Joseon which was demanded to join in the name of natioanl literature in the wartime general mobilization system. Like this, the literature and literators of colonial Joseon were always floating and unstable in and out of the empire-colonial regime so they couldn't be easily noticed and taken.
