The afterlives of Yi Gwangsu: Narrating the trauma of colonial collaboration
This article seeks to examine the repeated appearance of Yi Gwangsu (1892-1950) in South Korean postcolonial fiction as a sign of collective trauma. Yi was a pioneering novelist who was a nationalist hero to his readers, but later became a collaborator who supported Japan's war effort. This article focuses on depictions of Yi in the works of three postcolonial writers - Choe Inhun, Seonu Hwi, and Bok Geoil - whose works bore witness to how trauma…

Korean National Identity under Japanese Colonial Rule: Yi Gwangsu and the March First Movement of 1919
Modern Korean nationalism has been shaped by the turbulent historical forces that shook and transformed the peninsula during the twentieth century, including foreign occupation, civil war, and division. This book examines the emergence of the nation as the hegemonic form of collective identity after the March First Movement of 1919, widely seen as one of the major turning points of modern Korean history. The analysis focuses on Yi Gwangsu (1892–1…

Compared to the English-language fields of Chinese or Japanese history, Korean history started late, and the relatively fewer English-language textbooks and resources clearly reflect this.

Michael Shin and his colleagues, however, have addressed this problem with this edited volume. …

During the Cold War, when South Korea was under a military dictatorship, the term "collaborator" (ch'inilp'a) often functioned as a kind of prohibition, indicating that a person or certain texts were not worthy of serious scholarly attention. Collaboration was also a politically taboo topic since many of the South Korean political and military elites, including President Park Chung Hee, were former collaborators. Criticism of collaborators could …
Towards a Political Economy of the Early Modern Print Industry in Chosn
This article examines the rise of a modern print industry in Chosn Korea in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The common view is that the beginning of Japanese rule in 1910 suppressed a nascent print industry, but after a “dark” period, it underwent a renaissance after the March First Movement in 1919. An examination of available statistics from the period suggests that this view needs to be slightly revised. Though it is true th…
