한국근현대사의 연구 성과와 연구 방향의 모색

Abstract

The objects of this paper is to examine the research products of Korean Modern History in History and Discourse (published by Ho-suh Historical Association) 60 vols. The number of those research products are 56, so it is 11.5% of entire research products and nearly 26% of papers of Korean History. In the initial stage, those are few, but after the year of second millenium, conditions are changed. First of all, scholars are increased. As a result of it, publications are increased also. And we can see various subjects and supplements about Korean Modern History. The number of paper-contributor of Korean Modern History is 40, that is, per capita 1.4 papers. Those contributors have been mainly connected with Ho-suh province, but the number of non-connected contributors are increased in recent days. We can analyze that phenomenon is a result of the ascent of evaluation of the association and of authority of the journal. In History and Discourse, we can view the papers of Korean Modern History as 27 papers of local history of Ho-suh province and 29 papers of others. Subjects of papers of local history of Ho-suh province are these : 13 papers on family and personality(48.1%), 5 papers on society and economy(18.5%), 4 papers on culture and others(14.8%), 3 papers on the national movement under Japanese Occupation(11.1%), 2 papers on social movement and political movement after 1945(7.4%). And subjects of others are these : 7 papers on culture and economy and society respectively (24.1%), 6 papers on political affairs and diplomacy(20.6%), 5 papers on the national movement under Japanese Occupation(17.2%), 2 papers on personality(6.9%), 1 paper on association(3.4%), 1 paper on Korean War(3.4%). For the growth of History and Discourse as a journal of speciality, it is needed to reinforce locality of the association. To achieve that object, we, the association members, should study and light the modern local history more and more. Besides, the association should reinforce the interchange with other local or national historical associations.
