한국 출판학 연구의 동향과 진전에 대한 매트릭스 분석 ― 「한국출판학회 30년사」이후 10년(2000~2009)의 학술논문을 중심으로

Abstract

Generally, it is known that publishing study is adjacent to journalism & communication study. As a matter of fact, publishing study has had a scholarly original identity for a long time before journalism & communication study. Korean publishing study has developed as an independent and interdisciplinary academic identity for 50 years which is never a short history. Therefore, we put 10 years in order after 2000 in which 『Korean Publishing Science Society 30 years History』(2000) had been published. In this study, our study team has developed a kind of matrix methodology which can evaluate the coordinates of current characteristics, the problems and subjects of inquiry. Upon those, we suggest some directions and a firmer identity of Korean publishing study in order to advance. For our study purpose, we provide some coordinates of current decade Korean publishing study through matrix methodology, and discuss some issues involving study fields, characteristics of themes, and approach methodology for multiplicity and interactivity. The result shows that current decade of Korean publishing study has expanded quantitatively, but on the other hand it has been not enough on agony, or trial to develop the identity and theoretically systemization of publishing study. Thus, we suggest some assignments to be able to retrieve its former position as a main stream of humane and social science, and to achieve qualitative development. Firstly, it is necessary to enlarge the range of our knowledge overemphasized in study fields and themes. Secondly, it is necessary to open new theoretical stream. Accepting inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary study, and approaching methodology for multiplicity and interactivity, we have to experiment theoretically. Thirdly, it is necessary to deepen and widen our knowledge. Accepting and experimenting quantitative and metric methodology positively, we have to mach well with both normative humane science and theoretical social science.
