50년대 서클운동과 원수폭금지운동 －재일서클시지 『진달래』를 중심으로－

Abstract

Circle movements first started with ‘poetry’, gradually spread as ‘record of their lives’ and ‘choir movement’ Then again extended as ‘citizen movement,’ they displayed aspects to put civic awareness of new postwar democracy into practice. In particular, from the incident that Japanese deep-sea fishing vessel, Daigo Fukuryū Maru, was exposed to radiation by Nuclear Test at Bikini Atoll in 1954, antinuclear movement emerged in Japan. The circles triggered this movement. The circle movement’s issue in the 1950’s was ‘Anti-Atomic-and-Hydrogen Bomb Movement’ and the circles were its main agents. The incident that Daigo Fukuryū Maru was exposed by ‘radioactive ashes’ became a starting point of nation-wide anti-nuclear movement in Japan. Under the distorted concept about ‘Korean Japanese people’ in Japanese society after war, Korean Japanese youth who had to go through a harsh period joined in solidarity with Japanese citizens beyond nationality and ideology by means of ‘Anti-Atomic-and-Hydrogen Bomb Movement’. The 8th and 9th issue of 『Azalea』 covered ‘special issue of hydrogen bombing’ and highlighted their existence at ‘metropolitan newspapers.’ A principle to live together by solidarity with Japanese was created by inflated desire to spread the truth and public participation and responsibility as citizens. They conceived their poetry magazine 『Azalea』 as a public place. They was considered to put their behavior of ‘group writing’ into practice as a movement for expanding the base of postwar democratic citizenship.
