강제된 이동과 피카돈

Abstract

In this article, I discuss the works of the Japanese poets who supported those Chosun people who suffered from atomic bombs and who were excluded from the two countries. Also, I analyse the record of witnesses and experiences concerning the Chosun victims of atomic bombs, as described in the Japanese literary work. I consider their pain which arose from their discrimination and exclusion and point out the Imperial contradictions such as the problem of discrimination, the issue of tribes, and exclusive capitalism, which represent the structure of Japanese which had been excluded under the name of the Japanese national identity. Further, I also analyse the way in which the concept of atomic bomb is often made use of to build a national identity for the Chosun victims, who had been intentionally excluded from Korea. Their expressive literary works remarkably enhanced the recognition of these Chosun victims, and our hope for the total abolition of nuclear weapons and our co-existence is promising as long as one keeps correcting the wrong understanding of a history based on such literary works. I further delve into the power of literature to create a peace.
