한국의 일본고전문학 번역현황에 대한 기초적 조사연구

Abstract

Translation of Japanese classical literature began in Korea since 2000s. It is necessary to investigate which works were translate, also, bibliometric investigation related to this is necessary, since second edition and revised edition by the same translator increased. This research investigate the characteristics of translation publication per overall period after describing publication state per genre and bibliometric basic investigation in order to settle this problem. Much more works were introduced, considering the case of literary selection, as the number of Japanese classical works in Korea are around 70. However, Korean translated Japanese classical literature between 1945 and 1999 were concentrated in the ancient times, excluding theoretical books, and the number of works of the middle age and modern times is very small. Nevertheless, major works were retranslated since 2000s, and the works of various genres from the ancient times to modern times have been actively translated, compared to the previous times when mainstream was ancient literature. Translators since 2000s are mostly the 2nd generation researchers who learned from the 1st generation of the students who studied in Japanese, differently from the past when translators were mostly nonprofessional. Since the late 80s through 90s, the translators studied in Japan, aiming for professional translation with expert note work and commentation.
