초록

This thesis conducts case studies on the major activities and roundups of various,new small religious organizations which were active domestically during the warbasis under Japanese imperialism (1937~45), and captures the character of theiractivities.
The first and foremost reason for having various religious bodies can be ascribedto the accumulation of social contradictions. After the outbreak of Sino-JapaneseWar in 1937 in particular, the people of Joseon got to suffer from more hardshipsof life due to the heavier economic plundering and compulsory mobilization oflabor force.
The tightened control over the new religions during the war footing in particularappears to have several motives at the back: they are (1) strengthening of thoughtcontrol after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, (2) clamping of new religionsin Japan’s homeland, (3) publication of Analogous Religions of Joseon, and (4) theBaekbaekgyo case.
Among the new religious organizations that were rounded up after 1937, thereare different types, i.e. the type of antisocial heresy, and the type of aiming atindependance. They argued for the defeat of Japanese imperialism and theindependence of Joseon under the flag of nationalism. They carried out a ceremonywishing for independence, planned for raising funds for independence, instillednationalism into the believers, and resisted imperialist Japan.
The Joseon public participated in this type of new religious organizations withnationalism, and it shows that they had aspiration for independence and resistanceto Japanese imperialism. They accorded their anti-Japanese imperialism with the ‘claim’ of new religious organizations. The public’s anti-Japanese sentiment anddesire for independence, in tandem with religious groups, even influenced onforming of secret societies.
Therefore, the new religious organizations during the war footing were notmerely a social phenomenon, but appeared owing to the Joseon public’s desireand resistance to imperialist Japan. It is significant that the public, as a historicalmainstay, showed their will to resist through new religious bodies, which in turnput on nationalism.
