ABSTRACT |
This study analyzes the portrayal of Manchurian settlement in Yuasa Katsue’s Senku Imin, focusing particularly on landscape depiction. The landscapes are examined by distinguishing between natural and human-made elements. The analysis shows that Senku Imin represents the Manchurian settlement through a composite lens of scenes from colonial Korea and the Rehe region in South Manchuria. The paper also explores the symbolic use of ‘horses’ to represent the settlers, a metaphor that subtly underscores the linguistic challenges and ethnic tensions among Manchuria’s diverse populations. Furthermore, the influence of the author’s experiences in colonial Korea and travels in Manchuria is discussed. This study also elucidates how the colonial experiences of second-generation Koreans like Yuasa Katsue intervene in the literature of Manchurian settlements, presenting new possibilities for interpreting the works of a second-generation colonial author.
