일제강점기 미디어로서의 강연회의 형성과 불온한 지식의 탄생

Abstract

Though such a rough judgement, if the time of enlightenment(開化期) was the era of the speech and the debate, the time of 1920’s should be the era of the lecture. From the late 1910’s, the government organization(the Japanese Government General of Korea, 朝鮮總督府) and many private organizations (kinds of religion, young people, education, gender) have held many lecture meeting, especially day after day in early 1920’s. This study focuses on the background of the public interest to the lecture meeting and the relationship between lecture and the censorship of the imperialism power. The lecture, related with existing the press and the mass media, got a kind of media. In 1918, Mailshinbo(daily newspaper, 每日申報) held and promote the lecture for the first time itself. Since then, Dongailbo(東亞日報) and Chosunilbo(朝鮮日報) also supported writing the article about the lecture of many organization. It might be the background of the popularity of lecture. Meanwhile, Japanese Government General of Korea proclaimed the ban on political gatherings, tightening up the rule of gatherings in the period of the Daehan Empire(大韓帝國). In 1910’s speeches were almost prohibited regarded as the political gathering due to the order. In those days, the lecture, however, was approved by the authorities, if, taking place for the academic purpose. By this policy, the people’s interest turned to the way of lecture, from the one of speech. The point is that the subjects of the lecture were not all based in the academic issue, hard to separate with political issue. Korean tried to express what they think through this lecture, and could help struggling with the censorship power of the empire in matter of interpreting the boundary, what is academic and what is political. Because of this situation, the censorship power of the empire got to separate the seditious knowledge beside the custom of the moderateness of the knowledge.
