개항기 부산 발행 잡지「朝鮮之實業」의 일본인 이식(移植)에 관한 담론 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider a discussion on the immigration and colonial control in the early years shown in the Japanese magazine titled “Industry of Joseon” published in Busan during the 1900s. This magazine played a role in carrying out the policies of the Residency-General to districts and mold public opinion before the colonization began in earnest. “Industry of Joseon” formed discourse on economic exploitation through rice by instigating Japanese merchants to focus on Korea. After understanding that the tobacco industry would have a bright future in Korea, the magazine also encouraged tobacco cultivation based on the Residency-General’s support. Moreover, the magazine proposed specific methods to attain success in Korea for the purpose of forcing Japanese merchants to emigrate and settle down. Peace with Korean people was raised as one of the methods but it was twofold since it also brought a discussion on disparagement of Korean people. The hygiene of Korean people mentioned throughout the magazine was discussed in this regard. “Industry of Joseon” which formed discourse on the Japanese invasions over politics, economics and culture in the early years may be referred to as a magazine which played a big part for Japan to have the sovereign power over Korea afterward.
