「周辺」の国際交流 -対馬にとっての釜山、釜山にとっての対馬-

Abstract

This paper deals with the current international exchange, focusing on the regionbetween Tushima and Busan where a lot of exchanges have happened by differenttypes of groups in history since long before. The cultural exchange surrounding theDiplomatic Mission of Joseon(Joseon tongsinsa) which is one of the main items ofinternational exchange is treated in this paper. oth of them are trying to overcomethe cognition as a periphery towards the center of each country. Tushima makesuse of the Diplomatic Mission of Joseon to promote the local economy and find outtheir local identity, receiving visitors from Korea, especially Busan. Busan is eagerlyanticipating the cultural content of the Diplomatic Mission of Joseon in order to makedifferences from the center in historical and cultural matters. On the other hand,you can’t deny that both have a feeling of superiority from the self-awarenessinternalizing the ‘center-awareness’ in themselves. Though the two were peripheralagainst the center of each country, they’re also showing the peripheral recognitionof others toward each other in international exchange. At the same time, the gapof the overwhelming scale of the city and economy makes their intention of exchangeclear. Even though both have a sense of intimacy given from the close distance andthe history they experienced, you can see the inhomogeneous aspect of the exchangebetween the two.
