태평양 전쟁기 『아이생활』의 친일 변화 과정에 대한 연구

Abstract

During the Pacific War, “Child Life” walked a serious pro-Japanese path, abandoning the Christian characteristics that were shown until the 1920s and mid-30s and the nationalist characteristics of the weak countries under colonial rule. This fact was closely related to the history of Christianity in the background of “Childhood,” the conversion of Christians, and the activities of Japanese colonial rule. The Japanese tried hard to spread ‘Japanese Christianity’ and ‘Hwangdo Christianity’, which combined the ideology of the emperor with Christianity, to the colonial Joseon Dynasty. It was also part of efforts to remove the nationalistic nature of the church and reject Western missionaries. Missionaries were not Koreans but foreigners who belonged within the international network of Christianity, and were able to accuse the international community of irrationality and violence against Japan’s colonial rule. In addition, because of diplomatic issues, missionaries were a nuisance that Japan could hardly control, so Japan made various efforts to divide the church by using methods such as strategy, division, and conflict-promoting. Leaders of the colonial Joseon Dynasty also actively cooperated with Japan to meet their desire for control and protection. They used to work for major independence groups before taking the pro-Japanese path, but most of them turned to the Japanese colonial rule at the end of the Japanese colonial rule. Pro-Japanese literature can remain a blemish of history, but only honestly face-to-face can one have a sense of history that one should not repeat the same mistake through reflection and reflection, and when one does so, the problem of pro-Japanese affairs can be overcome. This is also necessary for the complete description of the history of children’s literature in Korea.
