Abstract

This study focuses on Japan’s documentary literature related to Joseon during the GHQ occupation period. It examines whether it is possible to gain a horizontal perspective on the two eras while reflecting the current conditions of the post-truth era. To date, there has been limited interest in discussions of documentary literature, particularly Joseon- related documentary literature, in both Korea and Japan. With this awareness of the issue, this article reexamines the postwar Japanese documentary literature boom from a contemporary perspective. First, it explores the documentary literature boom in postwar Japan with an emphasis on Joseon-related texts. Second, it identifies universal and meaningful issues embedded in postwar Japan’s publishing journalism and the modern knowledge and information technology ecosystem.
