동아시아 근대학문 형성에 나타난 자국학과 지역학(외국학)의 길항관계: 해방이전 한국의 중국학 형성을 중심으로

Abstract

Changes in traditional academics or culture started in East Asia with the acceptance of western civilization before the modern era. In particular, Chosun study was changing its academics by accepting Chinese and western cultures. However, as it began directly accepting western cultures and civilizations after opening of its ports to foreign countries, Chosun could not help but relativize Chinese cultures it had understood as its own—in other words, it realized that not only China but also new regions called the West existed and had its own regional culture. Furthermore, a global phenomenon of establishing a nation-state that emerged with modernization naturally prompted Chosun to establish and define national studies. Therefore I looked into how Chinese studies as Foreign studies have been formed in this process based on the framework of humanities network that worked in modern East Asia.
