멀티미디어시대와 역사학

History Study in a Multimedia Age

본고는 멀티미디어시대의 등장과 역사학의 패러다임 전환이라는 두 가지의 변화 속에서 역사학이 당면한 현재의 상황과 그에 대한 적응 및 대안의 추구 문제를 개관하고 부족하나마 논자의 소박한 입장을 제시하고자 하였다.

There are some radical changes in history study by the emergence of post-industrial society, postmodernism and interactive multimedia culture. This paper is to show those effects and to suggest an alternative idea for history study today. Daniel Bell's techno-sociological analysis on post-industrial society was introduced to explain the emergence of a multimedia age. Paradigm change by post-modern thought in history study was examined also. The instruments of history education are renovated by the emergence of digital society. PPT, films, DVD, computer, internet and the likes can be used for students' better understanding of history. This digital society or a multimedia age itself, also, should be a subject in history study. This new study must includes multimedia culture like hypertext, filmologie, digital arts and some ideas like post-modern thoughts. Psychology is very useful, I think, for the analysis of multimedia culture. University or college today should prepare proper instruments, softwares, systems for students and their teachers. Creative idea or methods, also, must be introduced for a new study. I suggest a concept of identity for it.
