issues of the day on the basis of shared knowledge of past memory and
experience. History, therefore, is constructed on the grounds of cultural
consciousness and social context of each society, although, even within one
society, this cultural consciousness and social context is not uniform but
pluralistic. It can also be said that the emergence of modern nation-states and
the world system comprised the background of the formation of history as a
science. "Anthropology of history" is an attempt to recognize this plurality of
history and its social and cultural background. The idiosyncratic socio-cultural
construction of history in Korea has been represented by various historical
views such as "submitting to a greater power (<I>sadaesakwan</I>)",
nationalistic view (<I>minzoksakwan</I>), dynastic view (<I>wangjosakwan</I>),
lineage approach (<I>munbeolsakwan</I>), people's view <I>(minjungsakwan)</I>
and so forth. History is idiosyncratic in Japan as well, but it has not
been represented with such clear method. Therefore, it may be useful to
clarify some of the unique features of history in Japan and then compare the
results with the Korean case. Today's talk will examine and compare the
ways by which history is constructed in Japan and Korea with the kinship system
and the view of ancestry as its social context. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
