주체 사관에서 인민과 민족의 자리

Abstract

Paik Nam-un’s Marxist historiography during the colonial period clarified it’s character of anti-colonial historiography by pursuing the universal subject of the nation. North Korean historiography succeeded in the tradition of anti-colonial historiography and attempted to prove that the universal law of world history was also carried out in Korean history by completing the historical narrative based on the theory of internal and unilinear development.BRThe direction of North Korean historiography was consistent with the theory of immanent development established in the study of Korean history in South Korea and Japan in the 1960s and 1970s.BRMarxist historiography of the periphery, aimed at national liberation and socialist construction, sought to harmonize the class and national perspectives. This has been declared as the principle of party character and the principle of historicism in North Korean historiography. As the Juche ideology was supported as the only ideology and the Kim Il-sung autocracy was strengthened, North Korean historiography made a new search by presenting the pedigree ethnic concept and paying attention to the struggle of the masses beyond economic determinism. In this direction systematized as the Juche historiography, the specificity of colonial-periphery historiography and the contemporaneity with critical histories of other countries are confirmed.BRNorth Korean historiography and Juche historiography existed in the flow of modern Korean historiography in that they pursued the universal subject of the nation. However, the Juche historiography denied the reason for the existence of historiography by ignoring evidence and emphasizing only the ideology of the nation, going through the Dangun nationalism and Daedong river civilization theory. The journey of anti-colonial historiography since the colonial period ended in anti-historiography.
