  • 일본제국주의는 1937년 중일전쟁을 일으키고 1938년 국가총동원법을 공포하면서 전시총동원체제를 구축해 나갔다. 전시총동원체제기에 접어들면서 일제는 여성들의 노동력에 주목하여 국내뿐만 아니라 국외로도 여성들을 동원하였다. 식민지 조선은 물론 국외의 여성들까지 근로보국대, 여자근로정신대 등으로 강제로 동원되었다. 여성들은 가내 노동은 물론 이미 동원된 남성들의 노동을 대신해야 했으며, 동시에 강제로 전쟁을 위해 동원되는 열악한 상황에 처했다. 여자근로정신대의 동원은 관청의 알선, 모집, 자발적인 지원, 학교나 단체를 통한 선전, 취업 사기, 강제나 협박 등 다양한 형태로 이루어졌다. 일제강점기 강제적 여성 동원의 대표적 희생자였던 여자근로정신대 문제는 개별적으로 소송이 진행되며 여전히 해결되지 않은 문제로 남아 있다. 전시총동원체제기 여성의 강제동원에 대한 실체를 밝히기 위해서는 관련 기구를 통해 지속적인 연구와 사회적 교육이 필요하다.

  • 이 연구는 세계적으로 가장 유명한 박물관으로 꼽히는 대영박물관이 개관 당시부터 인삼을 주요 전시품으로 취급하고 있었음을 학술적으로 규명했다. 대영박물관은 영국의 저명한 의사이자 과학자, 수집가인 한스 슬론(Hans Sloane, 1660-1753)의 유언에 따라 그의 컬렉션을 토대로 건립된 것으로, 인삼을 비롯한 '식물성 물질 표본(Vegetable Substances specimens)'이 그 핵심에 놓여 있었다. 이 글에서는 먼저 슬론이 방대한 컬렉션을 모으는 과정을 재구성하면서 영국의 초기 제국주의와 본초학, 수집과의 관계를 밝혔다. 대영박물관에 전시되었던 인삼 표본 4개--Radix Ginseng or ninzin from China (VS 532)/ Ginseng. Id (VS 8,198)/ Roots & seeds of Gin-seng (VS 7,825)/ Ginseng root (VS 12,140)--의 출처와 입수 경로를 추적하였다. 이들은 각각 중국, 일본, 북아메리카에서 온 것으로, 각각 고려인삼, 죽절삼, 화기삼으로 추정된다. 당시의 영향력 있던 인쇄물을 통해 인삼이 대영박물관의 주목할 만한 전시품으로 대중들에게 홍보되었으며, 영국에서는 화기삼이 고려인삼에 비해 열등한 평가를 받고 있었다.

  • The South Korean ethnic diaspora US lobby shows efficacy as an interest group in generating influence in American foreign and domestic public policy making. The persuasive portrayal of South Korea as a critical Cold War US ally reinforced US amenability to pro-South Korea lobbying. Also, the South Korean US diaspora is a comparatively recent immigrant group, thus its lingering resistance to assimilation facilitates its political mobilization to lobby the US government. One source of this influence includes the foundational legacy of proselytizing Western and particularly American religious social movement representatives in Korean religiosity and society. US protestant Christianity acquired a strong public association with emerging Korean nationalism in response to Japanese imperialism and occupation. Hostility towards Japanese colonialism followed by the threat from Soviet-sponsored, North Korean Communism meant Christianity did not readily become a cultural symbol of excessive external, US interference in South Korean society by South Korean public opinion. The post-Cold War shift in US foreign policy towards targeting so-called rogue state vestiges of the Cold War including North Korea enhanced further South Korea's influence in Washington. Due to essential differences in the perceived historical role of American influence, extrapolation of the South Korean development model is problematic. US hegemony in South Korea indicates that perceived alliance with national self-determination constitutes the core of soft power appeal. Civilizational appeal per se in the form of religious beliefs are not critically significant in promoting American polity influence in target polities in South Korea or, comparatively, in the Middle East. The United States is a perceived opponent of pan-Arab nationalism which has trended towards populist Islamic religious symbolism with the failure of secular nationalism. The pronounced component of evangelical Christianity in American core community nationalism which the Trump campaign exploited is a reflection of this orientation in the US.

  • Conrad's novels, specifically the Lingard Trilogy-Almayer's Folly, An Outcast of the Islands, and The Rescue-and Lord Jim, set in the Southeast Asian or Malay Archipelago can be considered travel literature that played a significant role in British imperial expansion. Conrad's Malay novels were based not only on his experience in the region during his commercial journey but also on information from earlier travel writings about the Malays and their customs, including James Brooke's journals. The English traders in Conrad's novels, namely Lingard and Jim, were partly modeled on Brooke, the White Rajah, who founded and ruled the English colony on the northwest of Borneo in the 1840s. The white traders in Conrad's novels, who act as enlightened rulers, represent the British commercial expansionism, which was obscured by the phenomenon of the civilizing mission in the late nineteenth century. On the other hand, the colonial official Clifford's tales and novels about British Malaya demonstrate the typical travel accounts of the late nineteenth century that stress the civilizing mission over commercial exploitation. The concept of the enlightening mission was rooted in evolutionary anthropological thinking, which developed as part of the natural history in the early nineteenth century. In fact, the development of natural history, stimulating British expansion in search of commercially exploitable resources and lands, enabled travel writing as the collection of natural knowledge to become a profitable business. In Conrad, the white characters are mainly traders acting as colonial rulers, while in Clifford, they are scientific rulers with their commercial interests rarely apparent. In sum, Conrad's novels reveal that the new imperialism of the civilizing mission is still a commercial one, which disturbs rather than contributes to the imperial expansion-in contrast to other travel literature such as Clifford's.

  • How should we conceptualize regions? What is the context in which new approaches to regional study take place? What is the role of historical change in the reconceptualization of regions or areas? This article addresses this issue by using two case studies to shed light on the history of regional study by comparing some of the ways in which the Middle East and Southeast Asia have been conceptualized. Accordingly, the discussion traces the ways in which these areas were understood in the 19th century by highlighting the ideas of a number of influential Victorian thinkers. The Victorians are useful because not only did British thinkers play critical roles in the shaping of modern patterns of knowledge, but their empire was global in scope, encompassing parts of both Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, the Victorians regarded these places quite differently: Southeast Asia was frequently described as "Further India" and the Middle East was the home of the Ottoman Empire. Both of these places were at least partly understood in relation to the needs of British policy-makers, who tended to focus most of their efforts according to the needs of India-which was their most important colonial possession. The article exhibits the connections between the "Eastern Question" and end of the Ottoman Empire (and the political developments which followed) led to the creation of the concept of "Middle East". With respect to Southeast Asia, attention will be devoted to the works of Alfred Russell Wallace, Hugh Clifford, and others to see how "further India" was understood in the 19th century. In addition, it is clear that the successful deployment of the term "Southeast Asia" reflected the political needs of policy makers in wake of decolonization and the Cold War. Finally, by showing the constructive nature of regions, the article suggests one possible new path for students of Southeast Asia. If the characterization of the region is marked by arbitrary factors, it may actually point to a useful avenue of enquiry, a hermeneutic of expedience. Emphasis on the adaptive and integrative features of lived realities in Southeast Asia may well be a step beyond both the agendas of "colonial knowledge" and anti-colonial nationalism.

  • Foreigners who arrived in Korea after the age of enlightenment were Japanese, Chinese and 'Westerners' who were Europeans and Americans. The westerners were diplomats who visited Korea for colonization or for increasing their economical profits by trading after the spread of imperialism, and tourists curious of back countries, artists, explores and missionaries to perform their roles for their religious beliefs. They contacted with Korean cultural and educational people as missionaries and instructors during Japanese colonial period. In 1945, the allied forces occupied Korea under the name of takeover of Japanese colony after Japan's surrender and the relation between foreigners and Korean cultured men enter upon a new phase. For 3 years, American soldiers enforced lots of systems in Korea and many pro-American people were educated. This relationship lasted even after the establishment of the government of Korean Republic and especially, diplomats called as pro-Korean group came again after Korean War. Among them, there were lots of foreigners interested in cultures and arts. In particular, government officials under American Forces who were influential on political circles or diplomats widened their insights toward Korean cultural assets and collected them a lot. Those who were in Korea from the period of independence to 1950s wrote their impressions about Korean cultural assets on newspapers or journals after visiting contemporary Korean exhibitions. Among them, A. J. McTaggart, Richard Hertz and the Hendersons were dominant. They thought the artists had great interests in compromising and uniting the Orient and the West based on their knowledge of Korean cultural assets and they advised. However, it was different from Korean artist's point of view that the foreigners thought Korean art adhered oriental features and contained western contents. From foreigners' point of view, it is hard to understand the attitude Korean artists chose to keep their self-respect through experiencing the Korean war. It is difficult to distinguish their thought about Korean art based on their exotic taste from the Korean artists' local and peninsular features under Japanese imperialism. We can see their thought about Korean art and their viewpoint toward the third world, after staying in Korea for a short period and being a member of the first world. The basic thing was that they could see the potentialities through the worldwide, beautiful Korean cultural assets and they thought it was important to start with traditions. It is an evidence showing Korean artists' pride in regard to the art culture through experiencing the infringement of their country. By writing about illuminating Korean art from the third party's view, foreigners represented their thoughts through it that their economical, military superiority goes with their cultural superiority. The Korean artist's thought of emphasizing Korean history and traditions, reexamining and using it as an original creation may have been inspired by westerners' writings. 'The establishment of national art' that Korean artists gave emphasis then, didn't only affect one of the reactions toward external impact, 'the adhesion of tradition'. In the process of introducing Korean contemporary art and national treasure in America, different view caused by role differences-foreigner as selector and Korean as assistant-showed the fact evidently that the standard of beauty differed between them. By emphasizing that the basis to classify Korean cultural assets is different from the neighborhood China and Japan, they tried to reflect their understanding that the feature of Korean art is on speciality other than universality. And this make us understand that even when Korean artists profess modernism, they stress that the roots are on Korean and oriental tradition. It was obviously a different thought from foreigners' view on Korean art that Korean artists' conception of modernism and traditional roots are inherent in Korean history. In 1950s, after the independence, Korea had different ideas from foreigners that abstract was to be learned from the west. Korea was enduring tough times with their artists' self-respect which made them think that they can learn the method, but the spirit of abstract is in the orient.

  • This study examine closely conditions of costume between the Modernized period and Liberation with newspaper materials. Because newspaper generally appear society conditions in those days on rapid and across-the boad basis. The Modernized period is extremely change among history of costum (ordinance prohibiting top knots, allowance of foreign clothes putting on). Because this change have been spontaneously not by internal desired but Western input by the strong nation of imperialism to enclose Chosun, they was accepted by the general public later under the rule of Japaneses Imperialism. Consequently, study of costume play an important part periods between the Japanese annexation of Korea and Liberation. This study apply to newspaper characteric for costume, and closely examine an important costum condition of those days next time, and present costume material in those days that composed the account catalog appeared periods between the first publication(1920) of the Dong A II Bo, and in the year 1945, it is as follows. 1. Foreign clothes of men generally accept the general public on look at from form change, in the 1920's had come short Jackets and narrow throusers into fashion, in the 1930's had come trousers of generous waist band with broads shoulder and long Jackets. Catalog of Major clothes is as follows; Spring coat, Jacket, Vest, Shirt, etc. While pants had come trousers into fashion 2. Functional characteric of Foreign clothes was the possible acceptance of women's foreign clothes. It relate with much discussion to improve Korean development in those days and substitute foreign clothes for Korean clothes because of institence in those days to improve functional clothes life. 3. An improvement women's Korean clothes generally take aim at women's nipple liberation, substitute vest waist for skirt waist, appear seamless one-piece skirt of shade length, and long dress length of Jacket. 4. Children's clothes give an account of functional and sanitary conditions, handling method, washing method. 5.

As later goes on foreign is given much weight in the whole clothes life. Account of foreign clothes managemental ways appear in the 1920's, while those facts prove the point that appeared the account that always dealed with concrete content of foreign fashion in the 1930's.

  • 본 연구는 삼림법(森林法)(1908)에 규정된 지적신고제도(地籍申告制度)가 일제(日帝)의 식민지(植民地) 임지정책(林地政策)에서 어떠한 역할을 수행하였는가를 밝혀보고자 하는데 목적을 두였다. 지적신고제도(地籍申告制度)는 국유림처분정책의 하나인 부분림제도(部分林制度)의 부속물로써 시작되었다. 인간의 기본권에 해당하는 소유권을 정립시키고자 하는 지적신고제도가 한국민의 관습을 무시하고 소유권구분기준도 마련되지 않은 채 우리하게 강행되었다. 한국민은 지적신고에 대해 임야세(林野稅)를 부과하기 위한 전조(前兆)로써 인식하거나 일본인이 한국의 토지를 수탈한다고 보았다. 이 제도에 따라 신고를 했던 계층은 중산층 이상의 지식층에 속하는 자, 나면관경(那面官更)(경원(更員)) 또는 이들의 친척(親戚), 연고자(緣故者)와 측량(測量)을 담당하는 대행업자(代行業者)들로 매우 한정되었다. 특히 임지가치에 비해 측량경비가 훨씬 많이 소요되었기 때문에 원소유자조차 신고할 수 없었다. 3년간의 신고기간동안 약 52만건 220만정보가 신고 되었으며 마지막 5개월 동안 신고가 집중되었다. 그러나 총독부는 신고기간을 연장하라는 한국민의 요구를 묵살한 채 소유권 사정이나 경계 확정과 같은 후속 조치도 없이 일방적으로 종료하였다. 결국 삼림법 제19조에 따라 신고되지 않은 약 1,400만정보의 임지는 국유화되었다. 총독부의 식민지 임지정책은 (1) 총독부 초기에 대규모 국유림을 창출하고, (2) 창출된 국유림을 요존국유림과 불요존국유림으로 구분하여, (3) 불요존국유림을 일본인 중심으로 처분한다는 것이었다. 일본인에게 불요존국유림(不要存國有林)을 안정적으로 처분하기 위해서는 대량 창출된 국유림에 대한 소유권 변화를 막아야 했다. 이를 위해 일본인에게 양여(讓與)하거나 조림대부(造林貸付)해 준 산림에 대해 원소유자가 소유권을 주장할 경우 총독부는 정해진 기한내에 신고하지 않은 원소유자의 태만을 들어 붙요존림 처분을 정당화하였다. 결론적으로 총독부는 "신고주의원칙"을 통치 초기 대규모 국유림의 창출과 일본인을 중심으로 한 불요존림 처분이라는 식민지 임지정책을 강행하기 위한 족쇄로써 이용하였다.

  • 최근 들어 한국 근대의 미술시장과 고미술품 수장에 대한 관심이 고조되고 연구의 스펙트럼이 넓어지는 것은 고무적인 현상이다. 이 방면에 대한 연구는 조선 후기의 서화 애호풍조에 의해 성행했던 수집과 감평의 수준을 알 수 있게 해주고 수장 형태의 근대적 변화를 알 수 있게 해주며 근대 동아시아 미술품 유통사를 재구성할 수 있게 해준다는 점에서 중요성을 갖기 때문이다. 한국 근대의 수장가에 대해서는 전형필(1906-1962)을 제외하면 수장경위나 수장내역 등에 대한 본격적인 연구가 이루어지지 않았다. 전형필 외에도 근대의 중요한 한국인 수장가로는 박영철(1879-1939), 김용진(1882-1968), 함석태(1889-?), 김성수(1891-1955), 최창학(1891-?), 장택상(1893-1969), 김찬영(1893-?), 이한복(1897-1940), 박창훈(1898-1951), 백인제(1898-?), 이병직(-1973), 손재형(1903-1981) 등이 꼽힌다. 이 연재는 우리나라의 근대기 특히 일제시기를 중심으로 고미술품을 많이 수장한 한국인 수장가들의 생애와 수장품, 수장내역 등을 추적하고 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 연재에서 다룰 첫 번째 인물은 한국정치사의 거물 장택상이다. 장택상은 대부호의 아들로 태어나 국무총리까지 오른 인물로서 파란만장한 인생을 보냈다. 천재적 능변가인 장택상은 그림과 글씨, 도자기 등의 감식가, 수집가로도 유명하다. 장택상은 일제시기 주요한 수집가의 하나로 뛰어난 유물을 무수히 수장하였지만 그의 수장유물은 6 25사변으로 인하여 상당수 없어졌고 이후 이승만과 맞서기 위한 대통령입후보로 인하여 주요 유물을 판매하는 바람에 거의 흩어지고 말았다. 그러나 장택상은 한국 근대의 고미술품 수장가를 꼽을 때 수위로 꼽을 만한 인물이다. 특히 다른 수장가들과 함께 일종의 품평회와 같은 모임을 만들어 이 방면 문화의 심화와 확산에 기여한 점은 특기할 만하다.

  • 본 논문은 사회주의 중국에서의 민족주의의 형성에 대한 연구다. 중국은 발달한 문명을 바탕으로 한 문화적 우월감으로 인해 일찍부터 문화적 민족주의가 강하게 형성되어 있었고 이는 오랜 기간을 통해 '중화주의'로 굳어지게 된다. 그러나 아편전쟁 이후 서양의 침략으로 인해 위기감이 생겨났고 중국의 지식인들은 다방면의 변화를 통해 구망(救亡)의 길을 모색하게 되었는데, 이 과정에서 서양의 '사회진화론'이 소개되고 받아들여진다. 이 사회 진화론의 수용은 결국 국가 간의 경쟁에서 밀린 중국이 제국주의의 침탈을 받는 것은 당연해지는 논리적 한계에 봉착하여 점차 변형되지만 중국 지식인들에게 문화적 중화주의에서 벗어나 서양의 근대적 국가민족주의 개념을 형성하도록 만들었다. 특히 중국공산당은 초기에 창당과정에서 부터 코민테른의 지도를 받았는데, 당시 제국주의 자본의 세계지배라는 조건 속에서 식민지국가에서의 민족해방투쟁이 세계 공산주의 운동에 있어 필수 불가결한 요소라는 것을 강조되었고, 중국에서의 저항적인 민족주의성격을 띤 마르크스주의는 명분을 갖게 된다. 이후 중일전쟁 과정에서 반제반봉건투쟁을 통해 중국인의 광범위한 지지를 얻게 된 중국공산당에 의해 중화인민공화국이 건립되고 본격적인 사회주의 체제로서의 중국이 시작된다. 그러나 냉전이라는 국제적 여건 속에서 소련과의 관계가 악화되면서 중국 사회주의의 발전은 자국 인민의 결집된 힘에 의존할 수밖에 없었고 이는 중국 공산당의 지속적인 애국주의의 고양으로 이어진다. 특히 개혁개방 이후 새롭게 등장한 모순들로 인해 중국은 분열을 겪게 되었고 이를 통합하는 이데올로그로 자국의 문화적 자긍심을 바탕으로 한 중화주의가 또다시 등장하게 되었다. 최근 경제 강국으로서 국제적인 위상이 높아진 중국에서는 전통문화의 우월성이 강조되면서 매우 강력한 중화주의가 대두되고 있다.
