일제강점기 재일조선유학생의 체육활동에 관한 고찰 : 재동경조선유학생학우회(1912.10-1931.2)를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper examined the characteristics of sports activities depen-ding on the ideological trend of the members of the Association of Choseon Students in Japan (October 1912～February 1931) which was the representative organization for the students studying in Japan during Japan's colonial rule of Korea. It divided the ideological trend of the Association into 3 periods, and based on it, it was found that the sports events of each period were performed as per the below. First, the period from 1912 to 1920 was that the Association was integrated with nationalism while its foundation as the representative organization of Choseon students studying in Japan was constructed. The Association succeeded to the spirit and the contents of the national sports events of Korean Students' Association (Daehan Heunghakhoi), and started to hold an away match in Korea and a sport meeting for Choseon students in Japan. Secondly, during the period from 1920 to 1924, the Association greatly expanded its organization and activity field under Japan's cultural politics. The students' ideology was differentiated into socialism and liberalism, but both agreed that the activities were the cultural movement considering individuals and the nation at the same time so they developed active sports activities. Third, the period from 1925 to 1931 was that the initiative of the Association was transferred to socialistic students. During this period, sports activities were continued in the immanent contradiction that the nationalistic characteristics of sports activities were strongly insisted by socialistic students who led hierarchical political movement beyond the nation, which finally resulted in that the Association was broken up, refusing nationalism and that sports events came to an end. In 1930s after the Association was disorganized, the sports activities of Choseon students in Japan were taken by school, club, and local alumni association so their position as the national movement for all the Choseon students in Japan was lost and they had to be restricted to partial events for some Choseon students in Japan.
