역사왜곡 대응방안에 관한 예비적 고찰

A Preliminary Research on the Counter-measures against History Distortion: A Special Focus on the Japanese distortions on the Korean History

이 연구는 한국의 역사가 중국과 일본에 의해 왜곡 당하고 있는 현실에서 일본의 한국사 왜곡에 주목하여 그 대응 방안을 모색하는 작업이다. 이론적 배경에 이어, 역사 왜곡의 주요 사례를 검토하고, 기존의 대응방안을 개략적으로 정리하여 그 대응이 보여주는 경향적 성격을 요약했다. 이러한 기초작업을 토대로 하여, 새로운 대응방안을 모색하는 작업을 시도했다. 새로운 대응방안은 이에 관련되는 4가지 중요한 요인(대응의 주체와 목표, 대상과 자원)을 선정한 후, 이 4가지 요인들 각각의 작용과 요인들 간의 상호작용 체계를 대응방안의 근간으로 규정했다. 그리고 이 요소들 간의 통합되고 조정된 상호작용과 그 관계의 체계를 대응체제라는 개념으로 설정하여 하나의 모형을 구상했다. 따라서 이 논문은 새로운 개념을 활용하여 역사왜곡에 대한 더 체계적이고 강한 대응능력을 창출할 수 있는 대안모색을 시도한 것이다.

This paper aims to develop a strategy of countermeasures against pro-Japanese history distortions on the Korean history. Korean history has long been distorted by Japanese historians and their Korean students under the influence of the Japanese imperial power in 20th century. And the intensity of this distortions, become deeper and wider in recent years, has threaten the stability of the national identity and people’s mental health. This article is composed of 3 chapters and introductory remarks. In the first chapter, the past salient instances of distortions made by pro-Japanese groups were over-viewed focusing on the era of the second half of the 20th century. Those instances included are War-indemnity, History-textbooks for the middle and high school students, Dok-do Island, Sex slaves in Japan imperialism, Etc. Second chapter introduces the countermeasures against those pro-Japanese distortions, practiced by Korean people and government. It includes government’s official letter of protest, people’s social movement organization formation and it’s protest gathering and marches. Reviewing this responses, this paper is inspected on the perspective of social movement theory. Third part shows the strategy of the newly constructed counter-measures against history distortions. This new counter-measure is constructed as a conceptual system, composed of 4 elements including subjects, aims, resources, and object of social movement. These elements construct a social movement action system on the base of the concerted inter-relationship of those 4 elements, named the counter-measure system against history distortions. This new countermeasure system can improve the ratio of success and achievement in the counter-measure social movements against history distortions.
