신채호의 시작품에 나타난 아나키즘 고찰

Abstract

This study tries to analyse the features of anarchism in poetry of Shin ChaeHo. He is a prominent fighter for independence, historian, journalist, social philosopher, novelist, and poet during the period of Japanese colonial days. Danjae(丹齋) is his pen name. As Japanese imperialism began to spread all over Korea, the nation's primary challenge is to get liberation from Japan rather than achieve modernization in Korea. After the 3․1 Independence Movement, Shin, ChaeHo took refuge in Shanghai, China and accepted anarchism. As a result of this acceptance, he changed his ideology and consciousness toward Korea independence. It was the need of armed struggle that he emphasized from this event. He criticized the provisional government in Shanghai because it didn't try to do armed struggle against Japan. Hoping for Koreans' struggle against Japanese imperialism for the sake of national liberation, he published 『Shin Dae Han(新大韓)』and acted for the anarchists. Shin, ChaeHo wrote『Ulji moon duk(乙支文德)』,『Dream Sky(하늘)』, and 『Great struggle between Dragons(龍과 龍의 大激戰)』, among which『Great struggle between Dragons』especially showed his anarchism. In his work, Shin, ChaeHo pursued direct revolution by Korean people in order to liberate Korea. Therefore his anarchism is not pursuit of certain individual theory or weapon but pursuit of national weapon. Shin, ChaeHo recognized that the liberation of Korea is possible only with struggle against Japanese. Shin, ChaeHo had sought absolute freedom and equality of all human-beings through the anarchism. That is why he thoroughly opposed the Japanese imperialism. He used anarchism as a means so as to attain the perfect independence of Korea from Japan. Consequently, what Shin, ChaeHo had really and primarily wanted was independence of Korea.
