After the liberation, the Korean resident society in Japan has created a unified organization under common objective of ‘returning home’ and proceeded united activities. Even though the group was disintegrated not long after, until 1950s the Korean Society in Japan had the non-ideological solidarity to some extent on the basis of the shared desire for the united government. Even after the 1960s, the limited solidarity has continued. The solidarity of this period was led by the group of people separated from the Federation of Korean Residents in Japan(Mindan) who supported the democratization movement in South Korea. These people groped a new possibility of solidaratty with the affiliates of the General Association of Korean residents in Japan(Chongryon). With the appearance of this power, a generation that perceive the idea of ‘livelihood’ in Japan as more valuable than ‘returning home’ or ‘home country’ became a newdominant group. In extension of the awareness of this problem, a new form of ethnic culture festivals which emphasizes the ethnic identity(culture) were introduced in the 1980s. This was influenced by democratization movement of South Korea which made use of ethnic culture. Among them, One-Korea Festival has suggested the unification of North and South Korea and Common Community of Asia Theory as their common vision. With an atmosphere of post-cold war of Northeast Asia, this movement has opened a new possibility by getting South and North Korea and Mindan and Chongryon together through cultural events. However, the atmosphere of confrontation between South and North Korea started since 2008 harmed this movement. Not only North Korea but Chongryon stopped participating in this cultural festival. In the mean time, the Korean Wave had a role in filling the place where the culture of Chongryon hadleft with Korean Hallyu culture and Japanese pop culture. Meanwhile, this movement, keeping South Korea as its center, has expanded to a ‘whole world festival’ claiming to advocate the unification movement through combination of culture among 7 million Koreans all around the world. This change has a positive side such as an expansion of the movement, but at the same time suggests the distance from North Korea or Chongryon that is growing further apart. The One-Korea festival with its outcome of 30 years has encountered with the problems to resolve the crisis from inside out, which is the confrontation between South and North Korea and the change of its own characteristics.

This study traces back the relationship between national history books and the political powers from the US Military Government right after liberation from the Japanese colonial period to the Park Chung Hee military regime. For the period of Rhee Syng-Man regime, the relationship is reviewed mainly through textbook analysis. Concerning the process of how national history textbooks became the political means under the Park Chung-Hee regime, this study analyzed reports offered by the presidential secretariat to the president between 1972 to 1973. The followings are the conclusions of this study. Textbook authorization system left the door open for different description and interpretation even under the censorship of dictatorship governments. The system helped, even if a little, to prevent history textbooks from being unilaterally used as political means even under the Park Chung Hee military regime. However, the Revitalizing Reforms system served as a momentum for history textbooks to become political means openly. The government authorities maneuvered the history academic world by carefully making use of the reality that there is a need to strengthen national history education. They demanded the glorification of the Revitalizing Reforms and governmentdesignated textbooks in exchange for the “carrot"-the strengthening of national history education. In spit of opposition from numerous historians, at last, Korean history textbook explicitly showing a political coloring was published. Since then, such textbooks had been published for a long time.

Hyeonchae’s(玄采) 『Dongguksaryak』(東國史略) has quite a lot of parts to be evaluated. This text book has been evaluated as a version of translation of 『History of Joseon Dynasty』(朝鮮史) and 『Joseonguensa』(朝鮮近世史, Modern History of Joseon Dynasty) written by Japanese Hayashi Daisuke(林泰輔). Hyeonchae emphasized the necessity of system of Korean linear history in the preface of 『Dongguksaryak』. In addition, for linear history, the contemporary history was emphasized more important than any other issues. And for such awareness of history, diverse history needs to be known including culture, arts, industry, and areas of manners and customs. It is apparent that ‘nation-building’ is tried in 『Dongguksaryak』 by Hyeonchae. In his scription, the modern awareness that he accepted was something that approved society evolving historic awareness of social Darwinism. The collapse of Great Han Empire was caused by our disability and Japanese wrong policy to him. To him, modernization was more important matter to solve than Japanese evasion ‘nation-building’ which was pursued by this 『Dongguksaryak』 has finally failed. By the way, his failure convinced us that modern awareness of history in western countries should not be accepted by the countries which fell into colonies as it is.

국가 간 역사갈등 해결을 위한 역사정책 모색

이신철(Lee, Sin-Cheol) 역사비평사 2012 역사비평 Vol.- No.100

Since 2000, Korean and Japan have continually conflicted concerning the past historic faults conducted by Japanese during the Japanese colonial rule times. Historic conflicts between nations are essentially caused from the both nations’ political interest relationship or their national interest. However, a nation does not have a logical structure to concede his perception of history in case of conflicting with other nation. So it is very important to solve through intensive talk and efforts to solve historic conflicts from the private term. Nevertheless, because the historic conflicts around 21C Korean Peninsula are directly connected to future matters of 4 nations-South, North Korea, China and Japan-, it is absolutely necessary to devise the ways to solve such issues from the national term. For South Korea, it is very important to resolve Japanese past faults against Korean in order to establish a peaceful future. For achieving this task, it needs to organize the ‘Korean-Japanese New Times Committee’ organized by private institutions. This committee can help for both nations to resolve Japanese past faults and to newly define the future relationship by concluding a new treaty. Meanwhile, it also needs to establish the ‘East-Asian Peace Foundation’ jointly organized by Korea and Japan in order to resolve Japanese past faults and practice their new relationship in future. It is very important for both governments to establish historic polices and to practice them based on long-term perspectives.

Despite the global post Cold War impact since the 1990s, the situation in Northeast Asia is unstable and seems recurrent of the past. The reason why Northeast Asia is still trapped in this conflict is because the balance of power has been destroyed. Under this situation, the Japanese right wing is again trying to seize hegemony in Northeast Asia. They stand in opposition to China as the US has done, and furthermore they are aiming at both military and economic hegemony in Northeast Asia. China is also working toward this seizure of Northeast Asian hegemony. The Japanese right wing has taken the strategy of expanding the scope of history argument with Korea to the whole Northeast Asian region. Under the situation in which the Cold War order has been destroyed, the “problem of history” narrative is utilized as an excellent tool to unite the Japanese citizens. It is because the Japanese have to put an end to the “problem of history” regarding its colonization and participation in the Pacific War. China is also using its position as the G2 country. They emphasize patriotism and Sinocentrism within China while outcrying Northeast Asian peace to the world, but they never think of giving up their hegemony to the United States or Japan. The nationalist conflict such as problems of history and territory within the Northeast Asian region has become worse. However, fortunately for the region, the civil societies of the three countries, South Korea, China, and Japan, are becoming closer. Also, there has been active communication and discussion of history at a nongovernmental level with a goal of finding out the real truth of the past. There is still hope of overcoming the nationalism and hegemonism that tries to bring us back to the Cold War conflict with an evil cause of “problem of history”.

일본 고등학교 세계사 교과서에 나타난 한국현대사 관련 서술 분석 ―2007년 검정 통과 교과서를 중심으로―

In this article, five textbooks that were authorized in 2007 by the Japanese government to be used in High schools` World history classes are examined. These textbooks, in their descriptions, all emphasize the issues that involved both South Korea and North Korea, such as the Korean war and the South(North Korean summit, but at the same time they also show more references to the affairs of the Republic of Korea(South Korea). Also, the fact that the Korean peninsula was directly affected by the Cold war and the fact that it still remains a region of conflict due to the North Korean nuclear crisis, and also the fact that because of the South(North Korean summit an atmosphere of detente is being formed, are all described. Regarding South Korea after the Korean war, these textbooks describe the dictator regimes that came and went in the past and the democratization movements that ensued, yet more dominantly described in the textbooks are the economical development of Korea, and Korea`s enlarging role in East Asia. On the other hand, regarding North Korea, the nuclear situation is the primary issue to be described, and some of the textbooks also mention the regime transfer made to Kim Jeong Il, and the so(called `Socialist experiment`. In terms of volume, the amount of references made to the Korean war is roughly the same as the amount of references made to the events that occurred after the Liberation in 1945. This clearly shows us how the Japanese World history textbooks actually view Korea`s status in the world. In descriptions that involve the Republic of Korea in post(Korean war period, Korea is frequently mentioned in sections describing the Asian region`s economic development, progress of democratization in areas, and the countries` ever(enlarging roles, reflecting the Japanese perception of Korea`s status. In the meantime, the Koreans` internal ideological conflicts which are usually considered to have been one of the very reasons that caused the Korean war, and also the influences from the memories of Japanese imperialism, are not that much described in textbooks. Through the analysis of the Japanese World history textbooks that were authorized in 2007, we can see that although they display the Japanese people`s self(centric attitude, they also try to maintain a third( party attitude, perceiving matters from an international view. At the same time, we can also see that there are not enough efforts represented in those textbooks to view certain events from the Koreans` perspective, or within the context of Korean(Japanese relationship. And we can clearly see that, instead of listening to all the criticism launched from fellow Asian countries such as Korea, which for a long time asked for the Japanese to sincerely regret all their wrong(doings and apologize and compensate for the damages they inflicted upon neighboring countries in the past, the Japanese are just hoping for a world in which Japan maintains a leading role in the East Asian Economic community, and manages to ram through all those criticisms from its `neighbors`.
