ABSTRACT

Japan, the empire in the end of the colonial period and the Congress of Scholars of East Asia Co-property Literature, the international meeting of typical writers in colonies and occupied areas are applicable to final instances which decide direction of ‘national literature’. If the end of culturism and the conversion to nationalism were early forms of the conversion theory of Joseon literature, 『National literature』 was changed to the ‘the total Japanese magazine’ from the combined number in May and Jun., 1942, ‘Japanese’ was raised to Common Japanese in the Greater East Asia and distributed, and the Japanese Ancient World was adopted as the main subject of ‘national literature’ as a means to strengthen ‘the Japanese spirit’. Choi, Jae-seo lately changed his name and finally looked up to it because the Congress of Scholars of East Asia Co-property Literature which was planned three times with organization of ‘Japanese Patriotic Association’ acted as decisive opportunity. Therefore, as ‘the Congress of Scholars of East Asia Co-property Literature’ created a kind of strong stratum under the super ordinate concept of ‘National Literature’ in Joseon in the colonial period, it got to compose ‘the Greater East Asian Literature’ setting a goal of completing ‘a scripture’ later. And strengthening of the ‘Japanese spirit’ which set the cause for Japanese form of state spirit was provided as a means to cultivate the heart of writers in the colonial period through trips to worship to the holy places in Japan. However, as historic imagination about Joseon’s and Japanese Ancient World kept permanently because of cultural senses of superiority, they could not understand each other. Therefore, the true ‘Greater East Asian Literature’ could not be created in the end and concluded in the independent event of the Empire of Japan and the colonies.
