김사량 소설의 기독교적 트랜스내셔널리즘 -「빛 속으로」, 「천마」, 「광명」을 중심으로

초록

This article discusses the multilayered nature of the concept of unity between Japan and Korea as the empire's camouflage logic, and identifies the nature of transnationalism that Kim Sa-ryang seeks to pursue through the appropriation of the idea of ​un​ity between Japan and Korea promoted by Japanese imperialism in “Into the Light”, “Cheonma”, and “Gwangmyeong” This is to provide a starting point for a new interpretation of Kim Sa-ryang’s works beyond the dichotomous national perspective of ‘pro-Japanese/resistance’. Kim Sa-ryang's intention to unite Korea and Japan is not a political cooperation against Japanese colonial rule, but a literary practice to restore the essential value of love. First, Sa-Ryang Kim attempted reconciliation between Koreans and people of mixed race through “Into the Light,” thereby breaking the discriminatory concept of unity between Korea and Korea and presenting an image of unity between Korea and Korea in the sense of a world community. The reconciliation between Koreans and people of mixed race refers to the process in which Teacher Minami changes into a male teacher and embraces Haruo, the son of a person of mixed race and Korean, with love. However, in “Cheonma”, along with the self-deprecation of Hyeon-ryong, who claims to be an indigenous person(Japanese), the frequent caricature of Christianity, and excessive identification with Jesus, the image of a colonial citizen suffering before the path to compromise called ‘Yamatodamashi baptism’ is presented. This can be read as an extreme defense mechanism against the negative evaluation of “Into the Light”. Nevertheless, in “Gwangmyeong”, Kim Sa-ryang once again attempts to reconstruct the concept of unity between Korea and Japan, and appropriates the direction of political harmony between Japan and Japan as a core Christian doctrine of ‘love for one’s enemies’ through the process of harmony between Korean and Japanese families. In other words, through “Into the Light”, “Cheonma”, and “Gwangmyeong”, Kim Sa-ryang not only completely overthrew the concept of vertical unity between Japan and Korea, which sought to establish an empire centered on the emperor, but also proposed a new transnationalism of Joseon people in the late Japanese colonial period using Christian doctrine as a methodology.
