"Pengalaman dijajah Jepang selama 35 tahun sejak 1910 hingga 1945 telah menjadi memori kelam bagi sebagian masyarakat Korea Selatan, khususnya para mantan Ilbongun Wianbu. Terkait dengan permasalahan mantan Ilbongun Wianbu, sudah dilakukan beberapa pembicaraan tingkat pemerintah yang intinya pemerintah Korea Selatan meminta Jepang untuk memberikan kompensasi yang layak bagi para mantan Ilbongun Wianbu. Namun, ketika kompensasi yang diberikan oleh pihak Jepang tidak sesuai dengan yang diharapkan oleh Korea Selatan, maka pengalaman kelam yang dialami oleh para mantan Ilbongun Wianbu tidak hanya menjadi pembicaraan publik di tahun 1990-an, tapi juga disajikan dalam bentuk karya sastra. Melihat kenyataan ini, penulis mengangkat permasalahan penelitian dalam artikel ini tentang bagaimana pandangan masyarakat Korea Selatan sekarang terkait dengan pengalaman Ilbongun Wianbu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kajian budaya dengan pendekatan memori publik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk merekonstruksi pandangan dan ingatan masyarakat Korea Selatan yang tinggal di Indonesia dan Korea Selatan, tentang Ilbongun Wianbu yang dikaitkan dengan kebijakan pemerintah Korea Selatan mengenai masalah Ilbongun Wianbu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ilbongun Wianbu dalam memori publik di Korea Selatan telah menjadi potret masa lalu yang kelam yang membangun harapan masyarakat Korea Selatan khususnya terhadap pemerintah Korea Selatan untuk menangani kasus Ilbongun Wianbu dengan seadil-adilnya melelaui pemerintah Korea Selatan.

The experience of being colonized by Japan for 35 years from 1910 to 1945 is still a dark memory for most of the people of South Korea, especially the former Ilbongun Wianbu. Regarding the former Ilbongun Wianbu issue, several government-level talks have been held, in which the South Korean government asked Japan to provide appropriate compensation for the former Ilbongun Wianbu. However, the compilation of compensation provided by the Japanese was not as expected by South Korea, so the dark experiences experienced by former Ilbongun Wianbu not only became a public conversation in the 1990s, but also helped in the making of literary works. Seeing this reality, the author discusses the problem in this study about how South Korean people`s view is now related to the experience of Ilbongun Wianbu. This study uses a cultural studies method with a public memory approach. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct Ilbongun Wianbu through the views and memories of South Korean people who live in Indonesia and South Korea related to Ilbongun Wianbu and relate it to the South Korea government`s policy regarding Ilbongun Wianbu issue. The results of the research show that Ilbongun Wianbu in the public memory in South Korea has become a dark portrait of the past that builds hopes of the South Korean people, especially towards the South Korean government to handle the Ilbongun Wianbu issue as fairly as possible through the South Korean government."

"ABSTRACTPenelitian ini mengkaji karya sastra seorang pengarang Korea-Amerika generasi 1.5 yang mengangkat cerita sejarah Korea pada tahun 1945.

Melalui penelitian ini dapat diketahui bagaimana sejarah kemerdekaan Korea dideskripsikan dan bagaimana perubahan sikap terhadap Amerika, Jepang dan Rusia dituangkan dalam novel tersebut.

ABSTRACTThis study examines the literary work of a 1.5 generation Korean American author who raised the story of Korean history in 1945. However, in the literary work can be seen the image of foreign countries associated with Korean history. These countries are America, Japan and Russia. The authors argue that the image of these countries in the novel is influenced by the background of the writer who is a Korean diaspora in America. The main corpus that used in this research is a novel titled Year of Impossible Goodbyes by Sook Nyul Choi. Through this research can be seen how the history of Korean independence is described and how the change of attitude toward America, Japan and Russia poured in the novel. This study focuses on how the three countries are described by novel authors. This study aims to prove that America as a host country has influenced Sook Nyul Choi 39 s view of America which is also influential in the way it sees Japan and Russia. In addition, this study also aims to analyze the meaning of Korean history by Korean diaspora writers in America. The method used in this research is Close Reading. The results of this study indicate that the background of the writer who is a Korean diaspora in America raises a pro American attitude in her work. It also influenced the author view of other countries such as Japan and Russia."

"This book examines Japan's policies in Korea from 1910 to 1945. A nuanced view of japan's rule in Korea is achieved by juxtaposing it to the European's record in Asia and Africa. It also highlights various ways that Japan's colonial interlude contributed to South Korea's postwar industrialisation."

"Synopsis:"Intimate Empire is a pioneering study of the Japanese (and Korean) language cultural productions by ethnic Koreans from the empire's expansionist era during the Asia-Pacific war. Nayoung Aimee Kwon's intervention enables us to rethink the spaces of complex resistance, vexed co-optation and accommodating governmentalities opened up by these texts that trouble the received notions of ethnonational boundaries between postcolonial Korea and postimperial Japan. Staking out thought-provoking problematics and excavating new materials, analyzed by Kwon with exceptional care, nuance, and theoretical sophistication, Intimate Empire is a major step forward in transnational Asian studies." -- Jin-kyung Lee, author of Service Economies: Militarism, Sex Work, and Migrant Labor in South Korea "Nayoung Aimee Kwon's Intimate Empire is a breakthrough in Korean and Japanese Studies. The book has a dual focus: one is the contested colonial encounter between Korean and Japanese intellectuals in the Japanese Empire; the other is postcolonial power in which minority intellectuals work in the United States. Clearly it is an innovative type of comparative study of imperialisms both past and present." -- Naoki Sakai, author of Translation and Subjectivity: On 'Japan' and Cultural Nationalism "Impressively researched and brilliantly crafted, this is a landmark study of cultural production under Japanese colonialism that is sure to create many big waves across Korean and Japanese studies and which should be read by everyone with an interest in the antinomies and conundrums of colonial modernity throughout the world. Eschewing the conventional nationalist binary of 'collaboration' versus 'resistance,' Nayoung Aimee Kwon introduces the third term of 'intimacy,' and shows that an effective postcolonial critique must interrogate this disavowed and unspeakable zone." -- Takashi Fujitani, author of Race for Empire: Koreans as Japanese and Japanese as Americans during World War II "Besides many compelling analyses and arguments made in Intimate Empire, plentiful visual materials provide us a fascinating glimpse into the cultural fields in the empire... it is a great contribution to the scholarship on colonial culture and imperialism for its exemplary handling of archives and its succinct arguments made based on comparative readings of texts. It is an essential text for researchers of colonial literature, transcultural colonial exchange, cultural fields in wartime Japan, and translation." -- Jooyeon Rhee Acta Koreana "Intimate Empire is a most welcome addition to transcultural scholarship on East Asian literatures and cultures and sets an excellent example for future research on imperialism in East Asia and well beyond." -- Karen Thornber Pacific Affairs "Intimate Empire establishes critical questions for historians to ponder, beginning with: Who writes the empire? How does the language they use matter? Kwon has demonstrated many pathways into, as well as offered new and alternate routes for, future discovery." -- Alexis Dudden American Historical Revie"
