구니키다 돗포의 작품과 내셔널리즘

Abstract

In this paper, nationalism, a kind of knowledge of Japan, has existed since Meiji Restoration, but it has been further elevated by major events such as the Sino-Japanese War and the Russia-Japan War, raising the awareness of war and dealing with how the war experience affected a writer. The conclusion of the consideration is summarized as follows. First, the distinct difference in nationalism between the Sino-Japanese War and the Russian-Japanese War was that most intellectuals in the Sino-Japanese War were war advocates, but after the misery of the Sino-Japanese War, anti-war proponents began to emerge. Second, the Lushun massacre in "Aeje News might have had a limit of censorship, but the ironic description of the Japanese troops who participated in the massacre as "brave Japanese" and the writing that deeply hates the word "war" gave us a glimpse of the Dotppo-like view of war. Third, it can be seen that Dotppo was also expressing his grief about the war through the description of the distorted social state after the war and the landscape in Hokkaido where no other exists in the post-war period. The fact that the abnormal experience of war, which ran with the rise of nationalism, swept the postwar literary circles with a dark trend of wretched novels and serious novels despite the victory, shows how brutal and miserable the war was. It can be seen that such a war experience is an abnormal experience that changes not only the artist's life, but also the direction of history and literature of a country.
