기억의 의무와 역사교육 -알제리전쟁과 프랑스의 역사교과서- = The Burden of Colonialist Memory and Teaching of History: Algerian War as Described in French School-Textbooks

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It has taken more than 20 years after the end of the War of Algeria(1954-1962) that the story of War was written in the French schoolbooks. Generally speaking, all the french schoolbooks of the 1990s contain the narratives of the War, especially of the torture story suffered by the Algerians. It is, however, difficult to turn back with open mind into this War without name concealed even now by the french government. The War of Algerial is presented in the schoolbooks not as the War in itself, namely the final aspect of the War of Colonial liberation, but only as the secondary drama added to the internal political life in the french 4th and 5th Republics. On can suspect whether the torture practices too often made by the french officers are intentionally omitted in the schoolbooks. The torture practices are described, in their general forms, as an necessary evil in order to curb the terrorism and to safeguard the innocent civilians. more ever, it is not easy for the students to find the origins as well as the effects of the War story as such, written in the algerian context. The texts given to the War are written too succinctly to appreciate the real story of the Algerian War. Today, the French makes efforts to be open to the colonial experiences of the Algerian War in its real story, For the first time after the end of the War, the general who had made himself responsible for the torture was obliged, in 2001, to stand in the court and was condemned for guilt. the mass media and the public opinion turn to the historical facts and encourage the French to recognize its war guilts committed in the colonial times. The french schoolbooks have to be revised once again, in order that one may learn the true story of the War.
