일제강점기 한반도의 이중언어문학과 일본어 문헌으로 보는 조계지 상해 인식

Abstract

This paper is comprised of a comprehensive analysis of how Shanghai was perceived and portrayed in Japanese books and in Korean and Japanese literature by Korean writers published on the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese colonial period. Japanese books and magazines published on the Korean Peninsula primarily concentrated on life in Shanghai in the 1930s, particularly when the Sino-Japanese War broke out there. Japanese magazines published many articles about the trends of the war and the international situation surrounding it. Articles on Shanghai’s culture also stood out, as during this period they provided a negative picture of a fallen city rather than a free metropolis. On the other hand, in 1919, a short time after the 3.1 independence movement in Joseon, Koreans established the Shanghai Provisional Government, so one Japanese text identified Shanghai as the metaphorical hq of the Korean independence movement. At the time, however, Korean literature attempted to portray Shanghai as a free city which embodied the ideal of peace, and to recognize the youth of Joseon as an embodiment of hope for the future that dreamed of national independence and resistance to Japan. Meanwhile, after the Sino-Japanese War, when the Pacific War broke out, the Joseon colony in Shanghai was concentrated in Hongkou, a Japanese cluster. At this time, Shanghai was shifting from being a symbolic space of resistance to and independence from Japan to being a symbolic space that actively cooperated with Imperial Japan. This tendency was reflected in Korean literature, in which Shanghai was increasingly invoked to promote the construction of the Greater East Asian Community and to bolster the interests of Japan.
