ABSTRACT

This study aims to reveal the tangible aspects of the young generation discourse during the liberation period through the national Korean textbooks published in that period. During the liberation period, the Korean language gained the status of national language and became synonymous with the national identity. Based on this assumption, this study examines the young generation discourse that policy-led entities sought to shape through the middle school Korean textbooks. Looking at the text in the middle school Korean textbooks, the young generation discourse at that time may be revealed in three directions. The first direction was to restore tradition and traditional culture, which is the basis of establishing a new nation state. The second direction was to present the virtues that leaders of reconstructing national community should have. The third direction is to present the ethnic community in pure unity.
