김성숙 중국어 저술 활동의 특징 고찰 －『반식민지 국가의 학생운동』을 중심으로－

Abstract

Kim Sung Suk’s writing in Chinese is largely divided into his creations and translations according to whether his imagination was reflected or not. This study examined the characteristics of his writing activities in Chinese with a focus on Student Movements in a Semicolonial Country, which is one of his creative works. There are a good number of Korean fighters for independence who stayed in China and made certain achievements by publishing writing works targeting the Chinese people. As it is demonstrated in the publication of Student Movements in a Semicolonial Country, however, Kim was the only one who stood in comparison with Chinese intellectuals recognized by the Chinese scientific field in the modernized system of China’s cultural community and developed his writing activities in Chinese by incorporating the “issue of Joseon’s independence” into his academic activities. His Student Movements in a Semicolonial Country integrates(combines) the latest theories and information related to colonial and semicolonial student movements in three languages of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese and checks the history, significance, and direction of China’s student movements that his contemporary Chinese intellectual community needed, thus holding huge value. His position in the Chinese scientific field was determined by not only his fluent Chinese command, but also his ability to integrate all kinds of theories and the latest information and express them in Chinese. He perceived himself as a “Joseon revolutionary outside the cultural blockade zone of Japanese imperialism.” His remarkable perceptions of cultural propaganda work targeting China and its practice process point to some parts that should be considered in relation to the interpretation of his Chinese works. They include the rhetorical expressions of the politically weak, the Sinicization of ideas, and the influence of Buddhist ideas(especially the popularization and socialization of Buddhism).
