초록

Rather than fixed, universal entities, the notions of publicness and public interest are rooted in a social consensus that changes in accordance with the periodic context. The notions imagined by colonial residents through this ‘publicness’ were also historically and culturally woven within the periodic contexts that prevailed at the time. Much like modern states, the colonial government monopolized the state publicness. Nevertheless, the residents of the colony, which featured various interests, managed the sphere of civil participation and discussion, albeit in a limited manner. As such, to understand the notion of publicness in Korean society, one must first discover and observe the political process through which interests and conflicts were exposed and coordinated within colonial Korea once colonial modernity had taken root.
This study seeks to shed light on the sphere of discourse in which public issues such as the conflicts in periodic markets were discussed and ultimately decided; such an exercise is designed to facilitate the analysis of the sphere of public opinion within the colony. Moreover, the extent to which the sphere of discourse was opened to groups or organizations fostering differing values is also examined. Although the perceptions and demands for ‘publicness’ and ‘public values’ were formed and expressed under the experience of colonial modernity, the colonial state could not be defined as a comprehensive public entity capable of actualizing publicness and public values. Although the colonial authority sought to transform this ‘publicness’ into a ‘recognition of authority’ that was designed to foster monopolization, it could not completely eliminate the autonomy and self－governance of the local community. As a result, the local community played an important role as the main actor regulating the sphere of public opinion, monopolizing publicness, and maintaining and actualizing public values.
The pressure to divide and exclude the actors participating in the sphere of public opinion was always present within the limited public sphere contrasted by the colonial authority’s monopolization of public power. The autonomy of town (ŭp) and village (myŏn) councils institutionalized as a part of colonial ruling system was inevitably limited. On the other hand, the ‘mass meetings’ created by local residents was a space in which multiple actors with varying interests and values could participate. However, the autonomy and self－governance of the local community, which served as the base for the regulation of the sphere of public opinion during the 1920s －1930s, were reorganized into resources that could be used for the effective management of the total mobilization system under the wartime structure.
