초록

This paper examines the meaning of realizing an individual's desire in the space of the colonial system through the analysis of the magazine Zyukenkai, published in Japan from 1920 to 1944. From the content analysis, it became clear that i) the exams that Koreans challenged a lot under the colonization were the Joseon General Examination and the Joseon Lawyer Examination, ii) the contributors to this magazine were those who did not receive economic benefits, and the experience clearly revealed aspects of self-studying and studying while working, and iii) those who passed the qualification exam were able to obtain social and economic stability, but their actions after passing the exams varied. Some tried to establish their identity as Koreans while facing the situation of the Japanese colonial era. On the other hand, some others benefited the social status of Japanese colonial era without a process of 'disconnection' or 'clean break' with the past even after 1945, which is one of the reasons why the liquidation of the Japanese colonial remnants is still discussed.
