일본이 기억한 안용복 -『竹島紀事』와 『竹島考』를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The dispute over possession of Dokdo in Korea and Japan should move on to ascertain historical truths, based on it and seek means of common awareness. Therefore, a clear criteria about fact verification and value judgement should be built and the reality of An Yong-bok should be clarified according to the criteria. Hitherto the viewpoint of ‘Sano’ that paid attention to an identity tag the Japanese citizens prescribed, ‘Busangdaego’ of the status of station house, and ‘Jamsang’ need to be reviewed. It have been took criticism that the Japanese selected historical materials and facts in the process of documentation and recorded to be subjectively favorable. The fact that we can assure through Japan's record is that the Japanese did not define a particular status or person but wrote very different according to their purpose. An Yong-bok was a person, but they described as a person with a variety of positions and status. It have to be recognized the fact that An Yong-bok turned out not to be slaves or the criminal, he was Chosun people had commercial ventures and related to civil administration of county magistrate.
