일제 경찰의 강압적 위생 취급

Abstract

Japanese police have implemented a ‘threat and soothing’ (‘carrot and whip’) policy to spread hygiene ideas in Joseon. In this article, I examined coercive activities, which are a method of coercion, except for the way of appeasement as propaganda activities using time and space. It is the implementation of violent ‘cleaning methods’, ‘disease-examined census’, and punishment and forced injection. The Japanese imperialism was treated as ‘martial law’ from the beginning of the implementation of the cleaning method, so the implementation of this cleaning method was also a process of violence by the Japanese police. In the process of implementing the cleaning method several times a year, the military police and the police gave beatings and insults to the Korean farmers, so the Koreans had an antipathy to the cleaning method. The Japanese imperialists also said that one of the reasons for the implementation of the disease-examined census was the concealment of the disease of the Korean people, but the fear of being accommodated in the isolation facility became a cause of psychology to hide. And there were many cases of unforeseen pain and an unnatural death as a result of prescription of a very incongruent drug and misdiagnosis. Also the punishment of hygiene obstruction was indeed violence directly applied to the body and property. There was also a compulsion in vaccinations. Such coercive hygiene administration of Japanese police did not work effectively to reduce the outbreak of infectious diseases. Thus, during the 30 years between 1911 and 1941, the number of infectious disease patients and the number of deaths continued to rise, except for temporary reversal of the 1920s. In addition, the lack of hygiene ideas of Koreans, which the Japanese police identified as the cause of the epidemic, was a baseless prejudice when we saw the incidence of Japanese residents living in Korea at the same time. Violence was accompanied by the Japanese police in their hygiene activities. The governing body itself was not able to escape from the pre-modern nature of the ‘putting government above people’, and it was caused by the overlapping of ethnic discrimination violence associated with ethnic logic.
