광복 50주년을 기념하는 행사가 사회 각 분야에서 활발하다. 출판계 역시 예외가 아니어서 광복 50주년 기획도서들이 속속 출간되었거나 출간을 기다리고 있다. 현재 우리에게 광복 50주년이 갖는 의미는 무엇인가를 되새기게 될 이 책들은 우선 일제시대나 해방후의 현대사를 새로운 시각에서 밝히거나 고대사의 재조명을 통해 일본역사의 뿌리를 우리 역사에서 찾으려는 시도들이 두드러진다. 참략을 정당화하고 미화하는 일본의 망언이 아직도 그치지 않고 있는 데서 볼 수 있듯 전후처리는 아직 끝나지 않고 있다. 정신대, 강제징용 등 전쟁피해자들의 피폐한 삶을 사실적으로 밝히고 전후보상문제의 근본적 해결책을 다룬 책들도 많다. 이밖에 소설이나 사진집 등 다양한 형태로 광복의 기쁨과 오늘의 과제를 보여줄 광복 50주년 기념도서들을 최근에 출간된 것과 근간 예정인 것을 중심으로 알아본다.

광복절이 있는 8월은 우리 역사에 대해 많은 생각을 하게 한다. 일제강점기 동안 강탈당한 나라를 되찾기 위해 목숨을 걸었던 독립운동가의 숭고한 기개가 오늘을 사는 우리를 다시 한 번 숙연하게 하기 때문이다. 몽양 여운형은 일제강점기와 해방전후기 가장 합리적인 민족지도자로서 조선 광복과 대한민국 건설에 기여한 지대한 공로를 인정받아 지난 2008년 2월 최고 훈장인 건국훈장 대한민국장에 추서됐다. 여인성 대중기계(주) 대표이사가 몽양의 종손자인 것은 익히 알려진 사실이다. 프린팅코리아가 여 대표를 만나 친족만이 전할 수 있는 몽양의 위대한 발자취를 밝히고, 8월의 의미를 다시 한 번 되새겨본다.

In the history of Korean literature, evaluations on 『Jirisan』 (Lee Byeong-ju) are bisected. Some evaluate it as a novel of authentic records which reproduces the history before and after the emancipation objectively while others say it takes advantage of anti-communistic ideology. This study analyzes that difference is resulted not from the distinction of perspectives but from cracks in the text. This is associated with the process of 『Jirisan』's publication. 『Jirisan』 was published serially in 『Sedae』 from 1972, and then, part of the manuscript was published in 1978 and the whole edition published in a series came to be republished in 1981. After that, in 1981 and 1985, part of the follow-up story was printed on the magazine, and then, with the memoirs of those two years as materials, the sixth and seventh volumes were again published through 'revision'. In other words, the publication of 『Jirisan』 is divided into that of the edition published in a series and that of the edition published in 1985 including the contents of revision. The theme of the work, 『Jirisan』 differs according to the point of its completion you may think of. This researcher pays attention to the difference of perspectives between the contents up to the fifth volume and those of the sixth and seventh volumes. Particularly, his evaluation on 'partisans' seems to have changed. In the edition published in a series, he extended 'partisans' into the independence movement in the Japanese colonial era under the Revitalizing Reforms system and adopted the representation of 'partisans' three-dimensionally whereas in the sixth and seventh volumes, he reproduced 'partisans' as beings that were the 'doctrinaire' and 'vicious' 'Reds' and had to be punished. In brief, with 『Jirisan』, he represented 'partisans' in the background of history before and after the emancipation and segmented the discourse, representation and ideology of the Cold War system, but in the process of revision, he stitched up 'partisans' as beings that were evil and losers. Consequently, with 『Jirisan』, he revealed the process of division and contention that proceeded around anti-communism/capitalism within the abyss of the 1970's to 80's and reproduced 'partisans' as beings that were either 'hostile (the Reds)' or 'unknown (losers)

This paper comparatively considered how Korea and Japan address the concept of 'postwar' in descriptions of their literary history. In Japan, 'postwar' refers to the period after World War II (Asia-Pacific War). This word implies a variety of contexts such as collapse, poverty, confusion, calendar reform, reconstruction and restoration as well as a series of historical events such as war, war defeat, and American occupation; and so it has been treated in Japanese society a significant period. In the history of Korean literature, it is after national liberation that the word 'postwar' appeared; however, it has usually indicated 'the period after the Korean War.' The question is that although the term of postwar refers to periods after different wars, Koreans used the term of postwar also in the same way as Japan, and their concept of postwar overlaps with the concept of prewar or postwar used in Japan, and accordingly, side effects are produced that fail to grasp properly the independent characteristics and significance of the Korean War. In conclusion, the Korean War brought about contrasting effects on the history of Korean and Japanese literature. While the Korean War meant a start after the war in Korean literature, it became a turning point marking the end of postwar in Japanese literature. Such different perceptions on postwar also have major implications in that perceptions represent postwar discourses in today's Korea and Japan.

Eighteen catholic churches, built in the Chungbuk area(Cheongju diocese) under the jurisdiction of the American Maryknoll missioners in 1953-1969, are not constrained by specific architectural styles, unlike those built by other foreign Catholic missionary organizations. The same is true of Naedeok-dong cathedral in Cheongju, which is the highest hierarchy and representative church of the diocese. Nevertheless, it has unique architectural features that distinguish it from other churches in the diocese. This study examined what those features were, how they were embodied, and their origins. This study also shows that the features are common in the missioners' churches in Pyeogyang diocese in 1923-1942 and that Father James V. Pardy and the architect Tae-Bong Park, played a bridging role in having the same features between the Pyeogyang and Cheongju diocese. In conclusion, this study summarizes the significance of Naedeok-dong cathedral in relation to the missioners' ideology, in the history of the churches in 1923-1969 and Korean modern Catholic church architecture. To this end, a literature search that utilized mainly primary sources, such as newly discovered architectural drawings, photographs, and text related to the cathedral, was performed.
