김석범 소설 『과거로부터의 행진』 연구

Abstract

The major incident of march through the past, "The fabrication of spies for Korean­Japanese students," calls for a renewed exploration of the image of Korean residents in Japan as a borderline in the modern history of Korea from the Yushin regime to the new military regime. Furthermore, the present life of a workman who has experienced the tragedy of modern history is portrayed through an narrative strategy, which reminds him of the author's consciousness. Until now, Kim Seok­bum, who maintains his nationality as a Korean, portrays his belief in his country in his work. Therefore, the author's world of consciousness about his country of unification in this work has an important meaning in his novel. The National Intelligence Service, which was created to realize freedom and democracy in South Korean society, actually carries out fascist acts in the society of Korean residents in Japan by borrowing the power of dictatorship and nationalism and by promoting collective consciousness. By accusing them through their works, Kim Seok­bum shows the life of Korean residents in Japan, who have been instrumental in the plot and scheme of state power, as well as the way to explore their identity and liberate themselves. In the dark side of modern Korean history, Koreans in Japan are asked to explore the appearance of the guardians. In this article, we can see that the author's subtle associations of the actual state political reality, such as the self­examination and anti­communist logic of the South Korean government, are being examined from the present point of view and raised the need to reflect on the meaning of the Korean people living in Japan.
