ABSTRACT

The colonial censorship proceeded in a way that triggered self-censorship by producers while erasing traces of direct intervention. It was also transformed into a system that encourages production in certain directions instead of restricting expression. It was the entry into the war system and the subsequent demand for full mobilization that has been pointed out as the background of this change. However, a series of build-up processes would have been required for the existing negative strategy to be converted to a positive strategy. First of all, this essay focused on the development process of the public security maintenance law, and the situation in which the empire had to devise more effective control methods as it felt the limitations of administrative capacity. In particular, it was the human media that could induce sudden resistance that emerged as a new target in controlling the theater. The cases of control surrounding the Joseonkeukjang, KAPF, and Kuekyeon show strategic consistency aimed at fostering a 'adaptive subject'. When it was judged that it was difficult to control only text censorship, or when the need for control increased due to changes in the political situation, security authorities began an active crushing operation, and extra-legal violence such as targeted investigations was also committed. Furthermore, it induced self-denial of the authenticity of artists, and in this process, the social reputation they had accumulated in colonial Joseon society was inevitably seriously damaged. In other words, confiscation of cultural capital was aimed at destroying their support base and depleting their driving force.
