전쟁의 공포와 임진왜란기 檄文의 선전·선동 전략

Abstract

War, one of the extreme situations in human history, brings ultimate fear to human. And in war manifestos(檄文) which are to be written for the purpose of declaration, oppression, and conciliation during wartime, this “fear” functions as an important factor for logic design. In this regard, this study aims to explore how this inevitable feeling during a war situation is treated in the literary field, particularly focusing on the war manifestos written during the Japanese Invasion of Korea.
 In Chapter 2, the study examined that the Japanese invasion of Korea aroused certain emotions - a vague ‘anxiety’ about war and a ‘fear’ towards a definite object. In Chapter 3, the study confirmed that propaganda informing general people of war situation and information about the enemy actually performed a function to develop readers' vague anxiety into definite fear and anger, by looking through propaganda(宣傳) strategies shown in the war manifestos written during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. In Chapter 4, it also confirmed that the contents of war manifestos written to soothe public anxiety and promote their participation in war and cooperation carried out a function to overpower(威壓) and blow away(揮發) readers' fear, by examining instigation(煽動) strategies shown in the war manifestos written during the Japanese Invasion of Korea.
 War manifestos written during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in order to prevent the collapse of the Joseon Dynasty is the product of human will(意志) not to be overwhelmed by uncontrollable anxiety and fear. And the propaganda and instigation(煽動) strategies in the war manifestos during the Japanese Invasion of Korea that raised others' will based on that will comes right from the logic of fear that triggers readers' dynamic emotional change.
 This study considered the war manifestos as ‘a writer's deliberate product to arouse target readers’ passion and behavioral changes' and examined the logic of war manifestos, particularly in association with ‘fear’. I hope that this study will be contributed to the development of more diversified war manifesto studies in future.
