한국병합 전후 일본 지식인의 만한경영에 대한 인식 : 관련 잡지의 논설을 중심으로

초록

There existed various discourses about Japanese intellects’ recognition on Manchuria-Korea management from around the Russo-Japanese War up to the outbreak of the 1st World War in the 1910’s. Through research on those discourses, this author examines not only the Japanese government but the private sector’s aspiration over the advancement into Chosun and also the continent. Since they had experience as a consulate or student overseas, they had keen interest in ‘Manchuria-Korea’, and they were political, too, as they were previously a member of the House of Representatives as well. First of all, before the analysis, focusing on Manchuria-Korea management emerging after the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, this researcher has studied how the Exchange between Manchuria and Korea appeared before the Russo-Japanese War as history prior to it. Before the Russo-Japanese War, in Japan, there were discourses actively expressed around the Exchange between Manchuria and Korea while they were alert about Russia. Within the atmosphere that the Exchange between Manchuria and Korea was regarded as ‘the enemy of the state’, discourse about the possible outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War was popularly presented, and instead of the Exchange between Manchuria and Korea, discourse about England-Japan alliance was being established while the Japanese government carried out the Russo-Japanese Wars decisively. Controversies around the Exchange between Manchuria and Korea did imply “the intention to withdraw Russian troops from Manchuria and conquer Chosun” after all. Next, after the Russo-Japanese War, discourse about Manchuria-Korea management developed into one that insisted on the necessity of immigration into Chosun and management over Manchuria as part of colonizing Chosun. After the Annexation of Chosun, in Japan, they stressed the necessity of management over management along with immigration into Chosun in order to advance into the continent and resolve shortage of food attributed to the increase of population in Japan. Immigration into Chosun was sought as a means to develop and manage Chosun, and to realize that, they deemed it would be crucial to promote research on the state of Chosun, implantation of native farmers into Chosun, and exploitation over colonization projects by the private sector. Concerning the attraction of immigrants, there were a lot of discussions and criticisms over governor Derauchi’s immigration policy. Regarding Japan’s management over Manchuria, they pointed out such problems as failure in the Dongcheock project, lost fever on immigration into Manchuria, and pessimism about immigration into Manchuria; however, mostly, they thought it was important to expand the Japanese Empire. They did support Manchuria-Korea immigration and management like that because they intended to justify their invasive policy to secure the grounds for the fact that the Japanese Empire was trying to build up practical control over Chosun and Manchuria.
