Abstract

Modern nationalism was spread through the study and description of national history and national culture topics, and the dissemination of them through the media. Ch'oe Nam-sŏn's works, such as Korean, Japanese colonial era, and post-liberation, coincides with the establishment of Korean studies. The study of Korean studies was closely linked to the political situation of the period. Therefore, attention should be paid to Japanese colonial era by Ch’oe Nam-sŏn (1890~1957) and the study of Korean Studies after liberation. This paper aims to prepare for Ch’oe Nam-sŏn's works on "Chosŏn Common Sense," which took place between the 1930s and 1948 before and after the establishment of the Korean government after liberation. "Chosŏn Common Sense" was a research area that Ch'oe Nam-sŏn continued to write in Japanese colonial era and even after liberation. This common sense related to the popularization of Korean studies. Ch’oe Nam-sŏn analyzed chronological texts published and published under the theme of "Chosŏn Common Sense." First, before and after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, we will look at "Chosŏn Common Sense", published in 1946 and 1947, respectively, Common Sense of 10 million Social Life published in 1948. In particular, noting that the Sino-Japanese War (1937) and the establishment of the Korean government in 1948 were an inflection point for the Korean studies, we examined the political nature of Korean studies.
