| ABSTRACT |
|
This paper focuses on articles on The Tale of Genji that appeared in modern newspapers in colonial Korea, which have not been examined much in the past, and examines their contents, along with the characteristics of the newspapers, the languages used, and the authors.
First of all, “The Tale of Genji” in pro-Japanese newspapers at the time mainly appeared as a symbol of the proud classics of the Japan people, but in press articles it was also used in the discourse of Japan’s governance, and as a book that was excluded and regulated by the Japan authorities.
On the other hand, The Tale of Genji, which appeared in articles in Korean private newspapers, was mainly a representation respected as a classic in other countries, but sometimes it appeared as a tool to promote discrimination between Koreans and Japan. The Tale of Genji, which was viewed from such diverse perspectives, was transformed into a way that measured its significance by the scale of imperial privatization after 1940 when the war came.
In this way, “The Tale of Genji” in modern newspapers in colonial Korea exhibits various aspects of acceptance, intersection, exclusion, and conflict depending on the circumstances and environment of the time, and it can be said that it illuminates the phenomenon in TransAsia. |
