식민지 인류학 장서와 에스노그라피의 기록성: 경성제국대학 인류학 장서의 기록학적 재구성

초록

This study reinterprets the anthropology-related collection held by the Keijo Imperial University Library not merely as academic materials, but as a record system that reveals the production of colonial knowledge and its mobilization under the wartime regime. To this end, it examines the formation, classification system, major contents, and uses of the collection, while analyzing the dual archival nature of ethnography. The anthropology collection of Keijo Imperial University condenses the processes through which Western anthropology was imported, reconfigured in Japan, applied to colonial and occupied territories, and mobilized as knowledge for the conduct of war. In particular, ethnographies and survey reports functioned not only as scholarly descriptions that recorded the lifeworlds and physical characteristics of others, but also as archival devices that transformed colonial and occupied populations into information that could be compared, classified, and managed. Through this analysis, this study argues that the anthropology collection of Keijo Imperial University constituted an “archive of the battlefield” in the age of colonialism and war.
