「帝国責任」をめぐる元日本軍兵士のライフストーリー

元韓国軍兵士によるアクティブ・インタビューを 通じた相互理解の可能性

抄録

This study focuses on the life story of Mr. Akira Hiroto, a former sub-lieutenant in the Japanese Navy, and aims to examine the active interview. In his national view/patriotism during the war and the post-war peace idea, the victims of Japanese imperialism were excluded. However, by perceiving existence of a researcher, who came from South Korea, the former colony of the Japanese Empire, he is reminded of Japanʼs imperial responsibility and talks about imperial responsibility. In the process of reaction, we can find the possibility of mutual understanding of “imperial responsibility”.
