Abstract

ABSTRACT:Published twelve year's apart, Kim Sa-ryang's "Into the Light" (1939) and Kim Tal-su's "Village with a View of Mt. Fuji" (1951) straddle the August 15, 1945 border that separates Imperial Japan (or colonial Korea) from postwar occupied Japan (or "liberated" Korea). Since these two works represent different sides of this chronological binary, it is telling that both represent Japanese society as being stratified based on a social hierarchy of ethnic difference. This article argues that Kim Sa-ryang and Kim Tal-su's efforts to subvert this distinction between the colonizer and the colonized fails because imperial structures, in both Imperial Japan and postwar Japan, prevent solidarity between Koreans and oppressed Japanese groups. The threads of continuity between these two works, therefore, pose a powerful critique of the postwar persistence of these structures and their continued impact on Japan, even while under the occupation of an external power.
失败的团结:金思良《走向光明》与金塔秀《富士山村》中的帝国结构对抗
摘要:金沙良的《走进光明》(1939)和金塔秀的《看富士山的村庄》(1951)相隔12年出版,跨越了1945年8月15日日本帝国(或殖民朝鲜)和战后占领的日本(或“解放”朝鲜)之间的边界。由于这两部作品代表了这种时间二元对立的不同方面,这说明它们都代表了基于种族差异的社会等级制度的日本社会。本文认为,金思良和金塔秀试图颠覆殖民者和被殖民者之间的这种区别的努力失败了,因为日本帝国主义和战后日本的帝国结构都阻止了朝鲜人和被压迫的日本群体之间的团结。因此,这两部作品之间的连续性线索,对这些结构的战后持久性及其对日本的持续影响提出了强有力的批评,即使在外部势力占领下也是如此。
