韩国学界有关二战时期日本强制动员问题研究述评

Historical Research on Forced Mobilization within ROK's Academia after World WarⅡ

强制动员是影响二战后日韩关系的重要历史遗留问题。过去50余年韩国学界关于这一问题的研究,在现实和政治因素驱动下日渐增多。总体而言,相关研究呈现如下特点:第一,实证个案研究多,理论阐发性研究少,学术深度有待提升;第二,多数研究侧重于劳务动员,兵力动员研究相对较为薄弱;第三,缺乏对日韩间的历史解释差异及其原因的比较与探究,也未能客观应对来自韩国国内“新右派”学者的挑战。与此同时,近来学界看待强制动员的历史认识开始逐渐超越民族国家框架下的加害者和受害者二元对立图式与现实利益径,日益上升至追问殖民统治责任和反思普遍人权的学术关怀。

Forced mobilization is a significant historical legacy that has influenced post-World War Ⅱ relations between Japan and ROK.Over the past 50 years,research on this issue in ROK's academia has increasingly grown under the influence of practical and political factors.Overall,the research on this topic exhibits the following characteristics.First,there is a predominance of empirical case studies,while theoretical explorations are relatively limited,indicating room for improvement in academic depth.Second,the majority of studies have focused on labor mobilization,while research on military mobilization remains relatively limited.Third,there is a lack of comparative analysis and investigation into the historical interpretive differences between Japan and ROK along with their underlying causes.AAdditionally,an inadequate objective response to the challenges posed by"New Right"scholars within ROK is evident.Moreover,recent scholarly perspectives on forced mobilization have gradually transcended the binary representation of victimizer and victim within the framework of ethnic-nationalistic narratives,and increasingly focused on questioning colonial governance responsibilities and reflecting on universal human rights concerns.
