韓国人日本語学習者にみられる日本観 -植民地時代の日本語学習者の語りを中心に-

Abstract

In this thesis, we studied the viewpoint of M who had learned Japanese language as a national language in the Japanese colonial times. M's concern about Japanese literature has led to the lifelong Japanese learning even after Korean liberation such as subscribing to『文芸春秋(Bungeishunju)』, writing down the diary in Japanese etc. It can be seen that Japanese language is the existence to M which enriches M’s life mentally, and that the fact that M is good at Japanese language is connected to a positive self-formation. As for the Japanese, M had the awareness of difference and hostility against「General Japanese」realized in the great frame of Japanese people･nation, for the reason that they looked down upon Korean people and invaded Korea. In addition, as for the Japanese whom M interacted directly with, M evaluated them as the people with much knowledge and high integrity. It can be known that M made a negative evaluation on「General Japanese」, and did a positive evaluation on the directly-interacting Japanese. It can be shown that M realized Japan as the country which invaded Korea, the country which ignored Korea, while M realized Japan as the destination of education which M longed for strongly, a longing place where M wished to develop a dream of the desire for knowledge. M has a negative image on Japan in view of a big frame of nation, whereas an affirmative image on Japan in M's personal viewpoint. In this respect, it can be known that M's image on Japanese and Japan is the status of the ambivalence where negation and affirmation coexist. Thus the characteristic of M's viewpoint on Japan will be the feature which was made as the special historical relation between Korean and Japan affected a personal life. It is suggested to consider about in what sight we should realize Japan and Japanese culture to lead to an affirmative mutual understanding in the modern Japanese education emphasizing the understanding of culture.
