초록

This paper is designed to examine, in the view of the aesthetics of the sublime, a marked characteristic of pro-japanese fascist literature produced by Korean literary men in the last years of Japanese colonial rule.
The purpose of fascist literature is to produce ‘fascist ecstasy’(Robert Brasillach calls it ‘fascist joy’). Fascist ecstasy that take place in fascist public political events is an emotional shock caused by the experience of unity, the feeling of being at one with the entire fascist nation. It is, in Kant’s words, ‘negative pleasure’. This feeling is a kind of the feeling of the sublime. The ecstatic crowd bereft of reason in ‘fascist spectacle’ identifies himself with the leader or with the transcendental world that the leader showed.
The success or failure of fascist literature depends on that of the production of fascist ecstasy. For successful fascist literature, fascist literary men bend all their energies on recalling the experience of that feeling and on depicting a people’s joy in a totalitarian and mystical atmosphere. Pro-japanese fascist literature, a kind of fascist literature, aims at the production of fascist ecstasy by accepting the fascist policy of Japan. In this literature, the model of totalitarianism is the ideology of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
In Kant’s aesthetic theory, we can not find the criterion of fascist ecstasy. According to Kant, true sublimity must be sought only in the mind of the one who judges, not in the object in nature. It is the dilemma of a judgement of the sublime. To solve this problem, we deconstruct the exclusive structure of the sublime or the fortress of subjectivity in the theory of the sublime. After deconstruction of this structure, we can take Wilhelm Reich’s advice: we recognize the truth of fascist ecstasy and judge reasonably the source of that ecstasy.
