1920년대 신문 만평의 사회주의 정치와 문화적 효과

Abstract

In the mid-1920s, the encounter of the newspaper cartoons and Social- ism is worthy of notice. This is because it is the historical moment when Socialism has been constructed as a cultural representation. The reader was able to appropriate actively the system of the readers’ con- tribution of the newspaper, and the cartoons asserted the partisanship of the proletarian classes, cognizing the optimistic prospect for Socialism and the specific difference of nation. All this entirely is the result that ‘the newspaper cartoon’ combined politics and popularity met ‘mid-1920s’ become remarkable the rush of Socialism action. During the colonial period, this time is the most important moment when the newspaper cartoon actively showed the cultural representation of Socialism. The visual representations has constructed Socialism point of view, combin- ing the agenda of current event of those days. On the one this was the critical comments for the world created according to Socialism Other, on the other this was the declaring course that the victory of Socialism was inevitable. Specially the quotation of ‘Japan’ is worthy of notice in this course. But Socialism has driven away in public opinion field, then the ac- tivity of the newspaper cartoon has disappeared. The optimistic for the prospects of Socialism has become ‘the surplus’ exceeding reality. The oppressive situation spoken for the control and the censorship re-system- atize the depths, the most threatening thing is that the discourse of anti- Socialism has become daily. Nevertheless, the surplus is certain to exist anyway, and it demand to remember the representation experienced from the cultural actions of Socialism including the newspaper cartoon in the mid-1920s. This memorized representation is important. Because not that it is not simply the rewind of the experienced perception, but that it is the effect of Socialism epistemology, and the radius of the effect go beyond the sphere of ‘a ideologist’. In terms of that, the process of the continuation, exactly the exist of the memorized representation should be treated in the cultural history of colonial period.
