朝鮮史學同攷會와 『朝鮮史學』의 식민사학적 성격

Abstract

In 1920s, The Japanese Imperialism pushed ahead publishing 『Chosunsa』 with Chosunsapyeonchanwiwonhoe and Chosunsapyeonsuhoe. At the same time, the researchers of colonial history who worked in compilation, announced and distributed their results of researches. Moreover, they made an academic societies one by one to exchange the information about their studies. The preceding researches in Japanese colonial era, usually focused on 『Chosunsa』 compilation by Japanese Government General of Korea or papers of each researchers. On the other hand, the studies of academic societies which was organized at the time of Japanese Colonial Era has yet to be done enough. In particularly, Chosunsahakdonggohoe which was made by the scholars of Chosunsapyeonsuhoe had a regular organization and it published monthly 『Chosunsahak』, but it is not be known well. The organization of Chosunsahakdonggohoe was quite simple, but it aimed to strengthen its scholarly professionality than Chosunsahakhoe which was founded earlier, so its organization became more elaborately as an academic society. Also, it recruited the members through governments and educational institutions. They gathered a membership fees from members who joined the society and they distributed academic journal 『Chosunsahak』. Through all of these, they let them know the movements of Chosunsapyeonsuhoe and their result of researches. Moreover, Chosunsapyeonsuhoe planed to publish a book about history and hold a yearly symposium but it was not put into an action. 『Chosunsahak』 was published monthly, also it aimed to academic journal in the system and composition. And there were several essays which was written by Korean writers to get a national balance between Korea and Japan. However the amount of essay was less than 30pages, even one single thesis appeared in different editions. Configuration of paper was placed 4-columns in one page, so it is not good to read. Also, it tend to be lack of expertise because there were unacademic essays between thesis and thesis, or end of edition. In terms of the subject and content of the thesis, there were the aspects: it is focused on history of international relations such as Korea and Japan. Also, it clearly reveals its purpose and character which was reflected in view of historiography of colonialism. Chosunsapyeonsuhoe was closed for the last time in July 1926 because all the members of Chosunsapyeonsuhoe were belonged to Chosunsapyeonsuhoe. After Japanese Government General of Korea began in earnest compilation of 『Chosunsa』, continuous activity had become difficult. At the time of the publications of the 6th and 7th editions, there were even a tendency for one person wrote several articles on that journal. Maybe there was a difficulty in supply of manuscripts. Finally, it was closed just after seven months of its starts. This is a proof of the researchers had not enough human resources and abilities to manage their academic society until 1920s.
