  • Representations of Zainichi Koreans and Imagination of Disaster in Japanese Cinema

    YANG INSIL

    Japanese Studies ( Institute of Japanese Studies, Dongguk University )  ( 68 ) 161 - 184   2026.04  [Refereed]

    Academic Journal  Single Work

    This article examines the relationship between the cultural imagination of disasters and the representation of Zainichi Koreans in Japanese cinema. Focusing on the depiction of earthquakes in film, it situates the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake as a turning point in Japanese society and analyzes it alongside the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The Great Kantō Earthquake is inseparable from the historical event of the massacre of Koreans, demonstrating how disaster memories have been intertwined with ethnic discrimination and exclusion. While the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred during a period when the discourse of multicultural coexistence was gaining attention in Japan, it was also followed by the resurgence of exclusionary narratives toward foreigners and minorities. This paper focuses particularly on Japanese films produced since the 2020s that feature Zainichi Korean characters. By analyzing how these films portray the experiences and perspectives of Zainichi Koreans in relation to disasters, the study explores how the memory of catastrophe intersects with the social positioning of ethnic minorities in Japan and reconsiders the cultural imagination of a post-disaster society.

    韓国映画の『パラサイト：半地下の家族』（2019、ボン・ジュノ）は貧富の格差や社会に渡る問題を鋭く描いたものとして世界的に高く評価された。本稿でこの映画に注目するのは映画そのものではなく、日本でこの映画が演劇として製作されたところである。とりわけ、この演劇には在日コリアンの李鳳宇や鄭義信がかかわったのでも話題になった。映画ではソウルの新興金持ちの家が映画では神戸に、主人公の家族は在日タラ占める要素をあらわにしつつも在日であることは明らかにしない設定となった。また、映画で重要な役割をしていた家庭教師の女性の役割が演劇では家庭教師をする子供が隠されることによって女性キャラクターの役割が縮小された点を明らかにした。演劇は個人の役割やキャラクターよりは1990年代半ばの神戸と阪神淡路大震災を描くことによって日本社会全般の在日コリアンへの差別が温存していることを描き出したのである。
