Abstract

Regional literature research is a method that sets the goal at discussion for a regional reorganization. This writing objects to consider circumstances and assignments given to regional literature research in nowadays, regarding the target, the subject, and the object. The first historical materials as the target of regional literature research are literature such as magazines, and anthology and video records on the writers. It is crucial to contact the writers of the past generation. It is required to systematize how to find, keep and organize the historical materials. The first historical materials could be the method and also the result. Circumstances for a researcher, the subject, seem very tough. A researcher is getting low expectation. Also, it is hard to find a well-trained researcher. Therefore, it is necessary to bring in general researchers, train new researchers, and bind them together. The subjects, either an individual or a group, must be functionally bound to have a strong horizontal connection between the researchers. A consumer is the object in regional literature research. The point is on a practical efficacy. Currently, demand has been increasing for regional literature research, which was activated by theoretical request due to cultural administration and awareness of the residents on regional literature. A mass profit should be led from research results, which is recommended to be addressed at school, and regional literature facilities have to be provided. Regional literature research is a method to review the research results produced from a vast discussion of nationalism. Now, globalization and localization are linked in one loop. It is expected that regional literature research, as an alternative study, would acquire greater responsibility.
