近代植民都市 釜山의 性格에 관한 考察

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to research for the character of Busan as modern colial city in modern times. In the years of Korean modern times, the modern culture of Korean society was greatly affected by that of Japan. Hoever, that is to say, acculturation was occured between two countries. The western culture was imported via Japan as mixed forms and contents with the tradition of Japan. The specific feature of Japan modern culture is "intentional selection and encouragement of tradition". Therefore the feature was transmitted to Korean society with the intentional drive of the policies of Japan empire government. Those 'culture of colonization' made similar social culture and milieu in Busan area. By those cultural rulings and effections, main features of Korean modern culture was formed in Busan, and became the part of Koreans' daily-life culture which continue to nowadays. So, we can call the feature of the acculturated Korean modern culture, in another words, 'hybridity'. And now, as subject on the standpoint of post-colonialism, it is necessary for us to find some 'resisting power' from the colonized aculturation. Such power will contribute to find and keep self-identity and nationality in globalized milieu. At the result, this is one of the efforts to find the route and progress of the regional history of Busan, at the same time, to clarify the faetures of Korean modernization and real shapes of Korean modern history..
