As one of the ethnically homogeneous Korean nationals who have the blood of victim mentality due to the suffering from japan’s brutal colonial domination, the writer of this dissertation also has such victim mentality deeply engraved in his body. Even though he himself did not exist in the colonialized period, the grudge and hatred about the colonial domination are deeply rooted in him as if they are tattooed on his physique. All the more because of those, the writer can not be set free from the historicity, and not only that, he is strongly bound by the fetters. On the other hand, in Japan after WWII, the history has been written down as that of “the victims without perpetrators.” It seems as though the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively on August 6th and 9th, 1945, has been imprinted in the mind of Japanese nationals as an apparatus to symbolize their country as the leading character in the myth of the victims. This study is to make suggestions as to how the nationals of the two countries could be possibly set free from the frames of nation states and get over the “historical recognition” which lies between the two nations by focusing on the fact that such domestic-oriented historical points of view are locked in the composition of dichotomy between the two, and their historical criticisms are exposed to the risk of being collected into the national particularism at any time.

筆者は、韓国人として日本の残酷な植民地支配により受けた被害意識の血が流れる単一民族という出自から、その被害意識が体内の奥深くまで刻み込まれている。自らが植民地時代には存在しなかったにもかかわらず、あたかも当時生きていたかのように、自身の身体にはその植民地支配の怨念と憎悪が入れ墨のように彫り込まれている。だからこそ、筆者はその歴史性から自由に解き放たれないのみならず、その足かせにも強く縛られているのだ。一方、戦後日本では｢加害者が存在しない被害者｣として歴史が書き記されてきた。1945年8月6日・9日の広島・長崎原爆被爆は、日本を被害者の神話の主役として象徴化する装置として、国民の脳裏に根を下ろしているようだ。 本研究は、このような自国中心的な歴史観が二項対立的構図の中に閉じ込められて、その歴史批判が自国中心主義に回収される危険性にいつも晒されていることに焦点を当て、どのようにすればその国民国家の枠組みから解放され両国間の｢歴史認識｣を乗り越えることができるかについての提示をしたものである。
