ABSTRACT

Historically, the study of ethnic magazine of Zainichi Koreans was mainly conducted by the magazine which represented each period. But, in the case of the 1950s, there was a gap due to data restrictions. This blip was fortunately resolved as interest in post-war cultural movements which was developed in the form of a Life-Record Movement and a Circle Movement in the 2000s(the circle poetry magazine "Jindalle" and "Garion" by Osaka Korean poet group were issued as a reprint version). This was the epoch-making development that elucidated the cultural activities of Zainichi Koreans of the 1950s. With this new availability of data, in this paper, I am able to present the overall image of the cultural movement of Zainichi Koreans in the 1950s, as opposed to research focusing on specific magazines like the previous research. In the 1950s, organizations or associations representing Zainichi Koreans ranged from Choryŏn to Minjŏn and later to Chongryŏn. The character of the magazine changed somewhat according to the above-mentioned organizations and these changes can be observed by the following periodicals. The first is a magazine that inherits the genealogy of "Minjuchosŏn", the second is "Jindalle" and its affiliate magazines, and the third is a journal related to the Zainichi Chosŏn Bungaku-kai. Analysis of these three trends shows not only the current situation of the magazines published by Zainichi Koreans but also the negotiations between the magazines and the aspect of the solidarity and exchange with the post-war cultural movement of Japanese society. It also highlights the struggle of Zainichi Koreans who fought against the GHQ and the Japanese government, which threatens their right to live as an ethnic minority, further demonstrating that ideological war is on the rise in the homeland.
