초록

開化期の朝鮮は波のように寄せてくる近代化の波に筋道をつかむことができなかった。この際、日本は朝鮮を強制占領するための準備段階として、近代化という名のもとで朝鮮の文化と精神を低級な半開化の国家の遺産として扱い、自分たちの植民地的支配論理を強化するのに利用している。 暗黒の朝鮮 と 朝鮮漫画 を通じて薄田は朝鮮の仏教と僧侶に対して‘宗教さえ堕落した国家'というイメージを彼の読者達に植え付けており、朝鮮の民俗信仰においては朝鮮は迷信を信じる‘半開化の国民’ということを強調する。したがって彼の記録は事実に対する‘ありのまま’を描いている主張するが、結局は国民性への攻撃を躊躇せずに朝鮮そのものを卑下していると言えよう。勿論西洋人たちの見聞記からも朝鮮の仏教と僧侶は堕落しており、朝鮮人が迷信をよく信じる国民という記事を確認することはできたが, あくまでもそれは ‘悪意’のない敍述で, 政治的な意図は挟まなかったと判断される。

영어초록

Korea during the time of enlightenment was at a loss form the surging wave of modernization. Japan that has been aiming at this chance is treating the traditional culture and spirit of Korea as 'superstition' which is the heritage of an inferior 'semi-civilized' nation under the justification called modernization as the preparation stage for forced occupation of Korea to be used for strengthening the justification of colonial domination. It could be said that Usuda is implanting an image of 'a nation where even religion is corrupt' with the description on Buddhism and Buddhist monk of Korea while covertly emphasizing the fact that Korea is a 'semi-civilized nation' believing in superstition through the folk religion of Korea. Therefore,although his record asserts as describing the truth 'as it is', it could be said that it attacks the national trait without hesitation and degrading Korea itself. Naturally,the details stating Buddhism and Buddhist monk of Korea have corrupted while Koreans are people who readily believe in superstition even I the record of personal experiences of Westerners, but it is judged that political intentions are not contained as a description without 'ill will' in all respects.
