Abstract: The puppet Manchukuo image in Korean literature at the end of Japanese colony is an exotic one created out of cross-border experience and transnational imagination, which is a representative case in modern transnational narration of East Asia. By analyzing the implication evolution of a series of places, such as Suffering Place, the Northern Homeland, Multinational Country, this paper attempts to illustrate varied narrative tactics adopted by Korean writers at the end of Japanese colonial age, including Utopia construction, the binary opposition of civilization and savagery, the rejection and internal others. The author deems Manchukuo image in Korean literature an imagination of nation, which was imagined by Korean writers out of their complicated status in diaspora and the reflection of an internal colonial ideology in the unique context of Manchukuo.
