신체적 담론공간을 둘러싼 사건성 - 1920년대 연설ㆍ강연會에서 1930년대 좌담會로 -

Abstract

Both the oratorical meetings in 1920's and the round-table talks in 1930's underwent a lot of modifications depending on interrelations between speakers and audiences, openness vs. closeness in discoursal spaces, natures and forms of media, and dispositions of colonialism and capitalism. These factors raise the questions what kinds of roles they played in the compositions and changes of collective discourses and what kinds of relations they had between themselves. The purpose of this paper is to deal with their roles and relations. The oratorical meetings and round-talks constitute collective discoursal activities at the very moment of encountering between addressers and addressees in a specified space. The very moment and space could overturn established hierarchical orders and bring to light a variety of struggles hidden in the boundaries between nations and races. Accordingly oratorical meetings and table talks reflect changes and modifications in both discourse and physique. They also constitute themselves into discoursal spaces in which there occur multi-levelled or hierarchical conflicts, unexpected overturns or reversals in views, awareness of unintentional differences in people. This paper deals with these eventual aspects. First, I will reexamine the relationships between modernity and colonialism around the beginning of the rule of Japanese imperialism. Secondly, I will try to find out new eventualities, which have been overlooked, by studying the relationships between colonialism and modernity. The oratorical meetings were mainly sponsored and held by the youths and day played an important role in discussing political affairs in 1920's but in the later part of the period they gave way to the meetings where the participants reminisced about what they had said in public and made fun of female addressers. The spread of contemporariness and the emergence of new consumers in 1930's led the oratorical meetings to the round-table talks. The latter were held by a small group of specialists in a limited space. They provided the space in which the participants acted as speakers and listeners at the same time. They were made to be fully edited, specialized and diversified to the tastes of the audiences. Furthermore they were influenced and modified by the official power. Later they came to embrace the entertaining and fictional motifs After the War between Japan and China, they mainly dealt with current political and ideological problems, so that they provided a tool to propagandize imperialism and to winnow out political converts. Later Japanese officials and scholars began to attend the meeting for the propaganda, with the result that Korean was replaced with Japanese in the meeting. After 1937, their changes in the forms came from the extensions of open spaces, official powers in media, and colonial powers. Especially they found their expressions in the translations from Korean to Japanese. To sum up, the issues to be raised and answers to them are involved with the above mentioned factors. And we should put emphasis on them.
