Abstract

This article aims to illuminate ‘Camps in Jeju April 3rd Incident’ which was born newly as contested space between national power and ‘injured’ subjects. Camps in Jeju April 3rd Incident not only worked as oppression, control, surveillance and punishment against Jeju people but also aected formation of anti-communism subject. Research in these camps is a portion of the studies on Jeju April 3rd incident at that point.BRFrom the early period of Jeju April 3rd incident, the army and police set up and operated the camps. As scorched earth operation was reinforced in accordance with the oppression aer the May 10 general election, and the decree, martial law and evacuation order aer establishment of the ROK government, the need for expansion of the camp was increased. The camps were enlarged from 1949 January to reelection of May 10, when many people continued to surrender particularly because of reinforced pacification.BRThe Jeju Agricultural school camp and Jeju industrial alcohol factory camp were established, which were regarded as the symbol of the camp during Jeju April 3rd Incident. Public halls, schools, rice mills, Agriculture Association warehouses, personal houses and dugout huts were operated as camps across the Jeju island. But the camps’ limited capacity meant inmates of the camps suffered greatly from the situation.
