AB - This paper examines the political and cultural context of Seon-Kei, or Korean literature in Manchuria and the efforts made to construct the Seon-Kei literary identity amidst the Japanese colonial context. Specifically, the paper focuses on the Inner Manchuria Culture Symposium, where Japanese, Manchu, and Seon-Kei writers engaged in dialogue on whether to write in Japanese or their own mother tongues. The paper reveals the Seon-Kei as a fictive identity of a colonized ethnic group and analyzes the group’s rejection of the Japanese writing system as a form of resistance. This sentiment grew out of a desire to recreate and reimagine Manchuria as a new country, distinct from both China and colonial Korea. However, due to the semi-colonial status of Manchuria under Japanese imperialism, this desire failed to build political and cultural foundations and eventually subsumed within the discourse of colonial power.
