Abstract

This article examines the correlation between key keywords and keywords through text network analysis of Gaya history in middle and high school history textbooks, and studies the causality of Gaya"s perception and image-telling process. In history textbooks, first, Gaya tends to be dealt with in relations with the Three Kingdoms. This was confirmed through the frequency of simultaneous appearance of ‘Three Kingdoms’ and ‘Gaya’. Second, the frequent appearance of ‘Baekje’ and ‘Gaya’ was mobilized to explain the destruction of Gaya, and the appearance with other keywords was poor. Third, the key keyword with the highest frequency in the narrative related to Gayasa was ‘Federation’. The ‘union’ correlates with the ‘centralized state’ and has a network structure that leads to ‘growth’ and ‘development’. It was also confirmed that “Federation” was a keyword mobilized to describe Gaya as the same “Federal Kingdom” as Buyeo or to describe a country that failed to grow into a centralized state from the “Federal Kingdom.” It describes the process of the fall of Gaya as not being able to achieve centralization by maintaining its own power or maintaining its own political base. Compared to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, which coexisted at the same time, it is seen as lacking and weak. Through history textbooks, Gaya"s national image is image-telling in a way that falls short of ‘growth and development’.
