Korean Miners in Japanese Literature: Between Constrained Silence and Risk of Trivialisation

Japanese coal mines employed large numbers of Koreans between 1939 and 1945, many torn from their homeland by force and subjected to discrimination. Their presence in the mines marks a dark page in Japanese history, symptomatic of the colonial period. This episode has been explored repeatedly in Jap...

Their presence in the mines marks a dark page in Japanese history, symptomatic of the colonial period. This episode has been explored repeatedly in Japanese-language literature, by Korean and Japanese writers alike. However, approaches to the subject differ significantly according to the authors’ origins and the periods in which they were writing. This article shows that the topic remains taboo among Korean writers, despite their community being directly concerned. In contrast, Japanese writers deal squarely with the presence of Korean miners and the treatment meted out to them. The testimonies penned by Japanese authors also show a shift towards heavily fictionalised narratives. Les mines de charbon du Japon des années 1939 à 1945 comptaient de nombreux mineurs coréens, souvent arrachés de force à leur patrie et victimes de discriminations. Leur présence marque une page sombre de l’histoire du Japon. Cet épisode symptomatique de la période coloniale est visité et revisité par la littérature de langue japonaise aussi bien par des écrivains coréens que japonais. Cependant, le regard porté sur les mineurs coréens diffère sensiblement selon les origines des écrivains ainsi que leurs périodes d’écriture respectives. Ce travail montre que ce sujet reste tabou chez les écrivains coréens dont la communauté est pourtant directement concernée par cette mémoire. Les écrivains japonais, eux, prennent alors le relais en abordant plus frontalement la présence des mineurs coréens ainsi que le sort qui leur était dévolu. Cette intervention d’écrivains japonais est marquée également par une évolution des récits de témoignage vers des récits extrêmement romancés.
