한국과 일본 어린이의 전쟁 인식-중일전쟁 직푸 『매일신보』와 『소년구락부』에 게재된 소년소녀 작문을 중심으로

Abstract

This study examined the dailiness in children of Korea and Japan under the war, and the looks of education controlled and distorted by the national authority in the period that the war basis in militarism proceeds with being accelerated right after the Sino-Japanese War, through compositions that were left directly by children. The subjects in examination were applied a consolatory composition, which was recorded in 『Maeilshinbo』, as for Korean data, and the composition, which was recorded in the journal 『Syounenkurabu』,which had been securing many young adults at that time as readers, as for Japanese data. Along with this, the testimony of Yamanaka Hisasi, a writer of Children’s Literature, was examined together, who had spent childhood in the period of the Sino-Japanese War. Both sides could be known to be indicating belief and aspiration close to a blind faith in the Japanese army through the blocked, biased and distorted information and education at that time. However, in terms of a problem about which war is routinized under the militaristic system, the case of young adults in 『Syounenkurabu』 could be known to be deepened more than young adults in Korea. Namely, in Japanese juveniles right after the Sino-Japanese War,the ‘war’ was a problem that is directly linked to ‘life.’ In Japanese juveniles at that time, the war implies to have been extremely habituated. However, through juveniles’ composition in 『Maeilshinbo』that is felt confusion in identity on nation, the image, which war may ever be a play,is being indicated, rather than being directly connected to formula with saying that war signifies directly dailiness like Japanese juveniles. The daily image is watched close to children’s original nature, which is differentiated from dailiness in Japanese juveniles that, of course, a play is also one part of everyday, but duty is being preceded. Young adults’ writings in 『Syounenkurabu』 and 『Maeilshinbo』 are the compositions that were written at the point of time when society is controlled and a militaristic system proceeds with being accelerated. It is a story of experience in the days when the distorted aspiration and justice amidst the rapidly-changing world situation since the Sino-Japanese War had ever compelled juveniles for the distorted patriotism and dominated their mental world. However, what is important is a point that children grow while continuing to adjust themselves to reality.
