일본지진을 통해 바라본 혐한(Anti-Korea(n) Sentiment)과 혐오 발언(Hate Speech)에 대한 고찰 ‒관동대지진과 동일본대지진을 중심으로‒

Abstract

In this paper, I applied the Hate Speech and the Anti-Korea(n) Sentiment on the rise to the ‘Pyramid of Hate’ of Brian Levin, comparing with the massacre of Koreans during the Great Kanto Earthquake and anti-Korean demonstrations increased after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The important thing at the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake was that there were clear prejudices and contempt for the Koreans within the government and ordinary citizens, that is, the Japanese people, which led to the genocide of the Koreans residents in Japan. It can be seen that it started from the expression of hostility toward the Joseon people and intentional discrimination, that is, through the prejudice and bias of the 1st and 2nd stage, the stage from the violence of the 4th stage to the genocide of the 5th stage. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, it is still used in the banners of the demonstrations that were used during the Great Kanto Earthquake, the word “Futei Senjin”, which shows that prejudice and bias against the Koreans residents in Japan remained after many years have. Therefore, the Anti-Korea(n) Sentiment and Hate Speech are not unexpectedly sudden, and they are repeatedly shown as the 4th stage of acts of violence through acts of discrimination of the 3rd stage based on acts of prejudice and bias which are the 1st and 2nd stage. This is, if we continue to tolerate prejudice and bias, which are the 1st and 2nd stages of the Anti-Korea(n) Sentiment and Hate Speech in Japan, the 3rd and 4th stages of discrimination and violence will continue to develop as in the past. Similar stages such as the 5th stage of the genocide of the Joseon people during the Great Kanto Earthquake suggest that it may happen again at any time.
