ABSTRACT

In both Japan and South Korea, the memories that victims of Japanese colonialism and the Pacific War remember have been forgotten by ruling classes in each country and their transnational coalition. However, the increasing influence of right-wing nationalism in Japan and the democratization in South Korea, which have brought out change within ruling classes and their transnational coalition, have been providing new opportunity to set up a frame for social movement by the victims of the colonialismand the War. This paper mainly focuses on reconstructing a frame for victims‘ solidarity based on their common experience and memory of Japanese colonialism and the Pacific War. Especially paying attention to a transnational solidarity between Japanese and Korean victims of nuclear bombs, it argues that their common experience and memory across the border could be important resources to establish a frame for transnational social movement against statism and right-wing nationalism in both Japan and South Korea and be central to establishing a transnational solidarity for the recognition of their memory and reparation.
