김정한 소설과 아시아 : 베트남, 오키나와, 남양군도

Abstract

Kim Jeong-han who returned to the literary scene in 1966 with The Sandbank Story」(「모래톱 이야기」) focused on criticism of the state-sponsored violence brought on by historical contradictions that failed to achieve the task of cleaning up the colony correctly. He wanted to criticize the neo-imperialism by the U.S. which had been strengthened since the mid-1960s in terms of continuity that led to the violence of state and capital. Thus his novel which confronted the reality of the U.S.-led new imperialism that surfaced with the Korea-Japan agreement and the dispatch of troops to Vietnam, was developed in three major directions. First, it was to epicure a scathing irony against the state-sponsored violence revealed through the Korea-Japan agreement and the dispatch of troops to Vietnam. This problem-consciousness was embodied through The Flatland(「평지」) which is of considerable significance just by the fact that, under the circumstances at the time, the story of the dispatch of troops to Vietnam is being inserted as part of the narrative. Also, The Flatland(「평지」) is particularly meaningful in that Kim Jung-han's regional practice centered on the Nakdong River showed a starting point for expanding beyond the limited placeability of certain regions to Asian imagination. The novel reveals the twisted links of the people of Korea, Vietnam and the two countries, and can be seen as an epic version of the harsh irony of the reality that nationalism implicitly forces individual sacrifices by leading to the failure of colonial clearing to rationalize the continuity of imperialism. Second, Okinawa a history of the reality of Japanese military sexual slavery and the history of a seasonal laborer Raising suspicions in homogeneity. 「Letters from Okinawa」(「오끼나와에서 온 편지」) will a letter from the Japanese a novel, history and the reality of Japanese military sexual slavery is the first work of the assessment that Okinawa, the Korean peninsula. Women are a Japanese reality of Japanese military sexual slavery by the historical context and in the 1970s Okinawa a seasonal laborer that read continuously about the reality of the problem. Reveals considering that the reality of women before and after liberation is still in the same situation in that they are trapped in colonial structures, he harshly criticized the reality of the Japanese colonial violence leading to the violence of the nation through the reality of the Okinawa seasonal worker. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the East Asian perspective of Kim Jeong-han's novel, which has deepened from the epic of experience to the novel truth encompassing the epic of testimony and records. Third, the epic version of the reality of testimonies and records beyond imperialism and experience in the South Sea Islands in the Central Pacific. In such a problem as a work that reveals a sense of incomplete Not announced novel Lost Tomb(「잃어버린 山所」), Koreans bogukttae and Japanese horses were moved in the central Pacific.
