5･18항쟁기 ‘폭도(暴徒)’의 등장과 적용

Abstract

May 18 was defined as a riot, riot, and rebellion caused by rioters from the time of the uprising. The government, the military and the new military have reduced public protests during the so-called “Spring of Seoul” period to “rebellion under orders from North Korea or outside impure forces.” This served as the background of the nationwide expansion of emergency martial arts announced on May 17, 1980. In the meantime, in the process of suppressing protests and preparing for political mobilization of the military, martial law soldiers were given loyalty training and training. The same was true of the 7th Airborne Brigade troops deployed to the university district in Gwangju from May 18. The 7th Airborne Brigade captured each university on May 18 and violently arrested students. And from around 4 p.m. on the same day, it was deployed in downtown Gwangju for the purpose of suppressing the protests. The airborne troops stationed in downtown Gwangju suppressed the protests as hard as they suppressed the rioters, which provoked anger among citizens. As a result, the crackdown, which was tantamount to the day''s “suppression of the riot,” sparked protests from citizens. Citizens actively opposed the violence of airborne troops, and the military began to define these citizens as ‘tyrants’. The military''s firing and sacrifice, which began on the night of May 20, brought about active resistance from citizens. Citizens demanded the withdrawal of airborne troops, but the military began to fire, defining them as “tyrants.” Since then, citizens have resisted armed resistance with the aim of immediately responding to the firing of martial law forces. Since then, the military has defined Gwangju as a “tyrant” and isolated it as a lawless city occupied by “tyrant” while separating the citizens into “tyrant” and “citizens.” During the May 18 uprising, the military''s “violence” theory was a justification for national violence. The military used violence against the nation by denouncing citizens as “violence” and “rehabilitation of public order” and “maintenance of public order.” The military''s violent suppression and firing was the nation''s specific response to the “tyrant.” Against the military''s distortion and response to violence, citizens had to prove that they were not “bullying.” That''s why citizens had to shout slogans like, “We are not mobs” throughout the uprising. As a result, the military''s ‘violence’ rule, which emerged during the May 18 uprising, served as the basis for ‘non-civilization’ and as a basis for justifying national violence by acting as a background for the military''s killing and suppression of force.
