일제강점기 조선 행정 담론과 문예란 연구 ‒『조선행정』을 중심으로‒

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the literary works published in the monthly magazine Chosun Administration, published in January 1937, focusing on the Imperial Local Administration Association (1922), which entered Joseon at a time when the Japanese Empire’s expansion and colonial policy toward Joseon shifted from unauthorized rule to cultural politics. In particular, I would like to explore the characteristics of the literary works published in the magazine, paying attention to the internal strife and trial process surrounding the Joseon Administration, the publication market surrounding the publishing company and the human network with the Joseon Government-General, and the changes in the administrative discourse of the contemporary Joseon. As a result, it can be seen that this magazine was not just a magazine that provides administrative data for colonial Joseon, but actively sent articles related to various cultures, including literary sections, for the purpose of a comprehensive magazine that can absorb various readers. However, the literary section and the advertisement for recruiting current novels, which started from the first issue, will be transformed into a form of “individual literary art” (danka, iQoo, Senryu), which excludes novels, such as removing the item of “novel play” after the fifth issue and recruiting columns for administrative university courses and recruiting administrative phenomenon recruitment. In addition, Choi Nam-sun’s “Until the Sun Set” and novel “Until the Sun Set” in the first issue are in line with the slogans that unite East Asia, such as “Integration”, “Until the Sun Set”, and “Sunman Ilyeo” promoted by the then Japanese Prime Minister Minami Jiro, so the novels and works in the literary section can be interpreted as being in line with the contemporary Japanese imperial logic.
