流亡与书写:殖民地时期来华韩国作家的上海想象

Exile and writing:The Imagination of Korean Writers in Shanghai during the Colonial Period

殖民地时期来华韩国文人的上海书写是从域外人的视觉描述中国现代社会发展的重要文本。与同期以中国东北为背景的韩国文学作品相比较,上海书写作品反映出韩国独立运动家通过辛亥革命重新认识了中国,进而怀揣着渴望祖国解放和建设近代国家的希望,在上海进行艰苦卓绝的革命斗争。他们把他者——上海的认知与想象,主要描述为作为独立运动和革命的城市、具有近代文明城市的两面性——文明与黑暗的城市及殖民地城市形象,并在作品中对此进行了真实反映与犀利批判。韩国文人对上海的想象,验证了当时中韩两国作为命运共同体相互扶助的连带意识,展示了韩国知识分子对祖国解放道路的探索,及对韩国近代化的深刻思考,证实了中国对韩国独立运动的帮助和支持,扩宽和丰富了韩国现代文学的范围和主题。

The literary works by Korean writers in the Japanese colonial era are important contexts to describe modern Chinese development from the perspective of foreigners.Compared with the works with the background of Northeast China,these works of Shanghai were stories mainly about Korean independence activists,who studied the Chinese revolution of 1911,eager for Korean independence and building of a modern country,fighting Japanese occupancy under hard situation. The city of Shanghai was perceived and imagined by these Korean writers as the city of independence movement and revolution,with dual characters of both civilization and darkness,and a city of colonization. All these images of Shanghai were well reflected and criticized by these works. The images by Korean writers showed us the fact of Anti-Japanese union between China and Korea under common destiny,showed the Korean intellectuals’ critical thought on exploring the Korean independence and building of a modern nation,and the help and backup from China to the Korean independence movement.These works also contributed greatly to the development of Korean modern literature.
