ABSTRACT

Historical geography research was carried out actively during the latter half of the Joseon dynasty and that research provided a basis for continuation to modern history studies. However, that research was not succeeded to this day in its entirety. An explanation as to when and how their research was excluded from the scope of discussion is required. In this paper, we intended to get an explanation through analyzing the studies from the end of the Joseon dynasty to the Japanese occupation era. The comparison between the historical geography research during the latter half of the Joseon dynasty and that of Japanese researchers during the Japanese occupation period do not show significant difference in their research methodology or method of logical expansion. However, the researches of Japanese scholars were distributed through research societies and journals and cited and reproduced by the name of modern research methods. During this course, the researches of historical geography researchers during the latter half of the Joseon dynasty were gradually excluded. On the other hand, while there were a series of researches with the goal of ‘legitimate succession’ of the historical studies of the latter half of the Joseon dynasty since the end of that dynasty, related efforts were no more materialized and popularized anymore afterwards. The efforts of raising issues and restoration for this provide the implications for connection with issues of world history while not losing the unique characteristics in the globalization trend of today.
