Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究は近年のライフヒストリーに注目する研究動向を追いながら、社会運動に参画した人物に注目した歴史叙述を模索した。本研究では、日本朝鮮研究所初代事務局長が抱いた「朝鮮」のイメージについて、（１）生まれ故郷としての原風景の「朝鮮」、（２）社会運動に関与しながら獲得した、平和を希求する人民としての「朝鮮」、そして、大学生活以後に交流した人間関係を通して学んだ「朝鮮」と整理した。これらの「朝鮮」のイメージが道標となり、同氏は日朝友好運動の活動家への道を選んだのである。このような「小さな物語」は、通史などの「大きな物語」に絡めて論じることで、歴史叙述を豊かにすることができる。
