초록

The interest in the ocean has recently grown quite intense in Korea and the word ‘marine’ or ‘maritime’ has become a keyword in the press or in the academic field. The purpose of this essay is to suggest an outline of the studies as well as to define their characteristics by reviewing research in the maritime history in the Korean academic field since 1945.
Studies of Jang Bogo take up the majority of the ancient maritime history studies, including ancient sea routes, ancient Korean ships, and the characteristics of Jang Bogo's maritime activities. Studies in the Goryeo dynasty concern who took the initiative in maritime trade, while the studies on whether the Joseon dynasty was hostile to maritime policies or not and the study on the refuge are noteworthy. Regarding the shipping industry in the modern period, one of the controversies is focused on how to consider the development of traditional shipping industry since the Joseon period. While the mainstream opinion considers the shipping industry during the Japanese Occupation before 1945 to be unrelated to the development of the industry since 1945, there exists an attempt to relate before and after 1945 in continuity. Studies in modern fishing industry have been active recently. In theoretical studies, scholars suggested a model of East Asian-Mediterranean-Sea.
Studies in Korean maritime history still retain the tendency toward nationalism in spite of recently emerging post-nationalist approaches. In my opinion, Korean maritime history studies need to perceive the meaning of its recent boom in relation to the society. As a specific field of history, maritime history should be connected to history in general, and the East-Asian perspective and environmental-ecological perspective should be added to it.
