ABSTRACT

In the process of establishing and spreading the Modern national/Nation-state system, not only the agenda raised by 'Modern', but also criticism and reflection discourse were brought up. The discourse on imperialism and decolonization alone led to various discussions that crossed concerns, expectations, and new concerns. Among them, the 'Mobility' discourse is eye-catching. The mobility discourse began from the fact that everything is moving. When this fact meets definition of refugee after modern times, the immobility experience and memory are more prominent than mobility. This is because the capital of dead workers and capitalists freely crossed national boundaries, while workers who risked their lives to cross national boundaries became refugees on a daily basis. This study attempted to find examples of “Technology that determines, classifies, and displace mobility” from the Japanese colonial period, independence, and the Cold War era to today in the ‘mobility’ experience and memory of Koreans in Japan. The Korean residents in Japan were the refugees from Joseon, who no longer existed in the modern space and time, and had experience and memories of being forcibly taken to the empire and being deported after being caught smuggling. Even today, there are Koreans living in Japan who are in an immobility situation. Based on these facts, this study examined the punishment and deportation of the refugees caused by the colony and colonial policies of the imperial Japan during the transplantation of modern national/Nation-state order. It is because it is possible to see the pre-modernity of Refugee surveillance and punishment in East Asia, and the mobilized devices.
