재일조선인 에스닉잡지와 ‘한국전쟁’‒1950년대의 일본열도가 본 ‘한국전쟁’‒

Abstract

In this paper, I study ethnic magazines of Zanichi Koreans in the 1950s, focusing on works based on the motif of the Korean War, and explore how contemporary Zanichi Koreans represent the Korean War. A specific analysis target is a total of 14 novels and plays. The time setting of the work is many in 1950 and 1951. The space of the novel is not limited to the Korean peninsula, but China and Japan are staged. However, most of the works are translated, and only 4 works created by Zainichi Koreans. These works are not the literary motif of the Korean War, but the Korean War itself is the central theme. When the contemporary Japanese literature was used as a reference frame, the gaze to Korean War of Zainichi Koreans could be said to be zero even though they were leaving the Korean peninsula. In the case of Japanese literature, it portrays in various ways that the Japan is deeply involved in the Korea War, while responding sensitively to the rapidly changing Japanese society caused by the Korean War, during the GHQ occupation period. Zanichi Koreans of the 1950s did war of different form Korean War, in the Japanese Islands. Even if the support regime was different, everybody prayed for independence and the peace of the mother country. From this point, Zanichi Koreans during the Korean War could say that it was directly connected to the Korean peninsula.
