Abstract

In colonial period, the translation of Ibsen had with an importance, getting over the needs of the theatrical world. It is that the translation of Ibsen is connected with the nationality making of 'Chosun literary art' and the sexual politics. However Noraism very radically became lively by modern media, the fact of 'translation' was slight and the play performed a few. The play is in a disadvantageous position for poetry and novel on a printing media and publication market. Besides, there is political reason. This phenomenon actually accord with the depths of the translation of Ibsen. The translation subjects discovered modern individual from Nora, this is the protection of Individualism. And the Individualism was the course imagining the nationality of Chosun. To the translation subjects, the position of Nora became colonial Chosun, the consciousness of Nora was read a kind of modern and decolonial planning―overcoming the premodern properties of Chosun society and Japan as the 'nation'. This diversion of Noraism surely was accompanied with a sexual politics. Even though subordinate 'Chosun' can be regarded in the same light as Nora, the realization of the future nation or nationality was due to the meaning of the male sex' recovery. Therefore the translation subjects, on the one hand had to acquire the justification of modern planning through Nora, and on the other had to guard Nora' holding for Chosun women. In result, they made Nora lock in the canon with severing from the practical moment, and by the justification instructed Chosun women. Then 'there was no Noraly Nora in Chosun'!
