일본인이 겪은 한국전쟁-참전에서 반전까지

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine how colonialism was reproduced or resisted by Japanese with impressive three scenes in their experience of the Korean War. First, Some Japanese workers in the American military base were participating as interpreters. This recognized the colonial order that korean people had been forced to speak in Japanese as their official language. The japanese language in the war was a dark shadow cast over the Nogeun-ri Massacre. In addition, the plight, desire and sacrifice of the Japanese joiners were shown in this process. Second, the knowledge of Korea had the benefit of the specially increased demands during the war. Lots of accumulated knowledge in the colonial days were used in the war. The formation of the Academic Association of Koreanology(朝鮮學會) and the association of Yuho(友邦協會) in that time was an example of the revival of colonialism. However, 'research' and 'historical materials' of the associations, even if not free from colonialism, could be used as a public good. Third, Kobayashi Masaru(小林勝) took part in a demonstration opposing the war and wrote novels about the colonial experiences. Through the novels he didn't turn away his head from the sin of the Japanese since the colonial period and sought the equal solidarity with Japanese and Korean.
