This paper, titled “'Shadow' Routes of Literature and Culture and the Politics of Activism in East Asia,” draws attention to the significant involvement of Japanese literature and culture in democratization movements in South Korea under the military dictatorships following its release from the Japanese Empire. In particular, with regard to literary or cultural exchange, the vigorous movement (despite official bans by the authoritarian regimes) of “pro-democratization” books, people, and capital has not been elucidated previously. I highlight the “shadow” routes of culture that functioned together with “smuggling” and “refugee” routes, and create a basis for raising new questions in the study of Japanese-Korean modern literature and culture, which has been caught in a narrative that emphasizes the “rupture” and subsequent “normalization” of diplomatic relations.
