Kim Eun-kyung: Student Cultural History, From Liberation to the April Revolution

Education played a crucial role in changing the personal lifestyle and worldview and shaping self. The Korean Modern Schoolscape and the daily report of students have highlighted the result of a combination of 10 historians and educators on the subject of school and student life:. First, we wanted to preserve the reality of modern modernism by making the landscape of modern schools and the daily life of students a common subject for traditional and modern conflicts, Japaneseization processes, and colonial oils and transformations. Korean education was further sought to demonstrate interaction and reaction and extract meaning by comparing and associating with modern education in East Asia. From the liberation of August 1945 to the revolution of April 1960, the history of students in a cultural context is one of Korean modern schools and the daily life of students, from the liberation in August 1945 through the April 1960 revolution to the cultural perspective. The way students are organized in political upheavals, in liberation, division, government establishment, war, dictatorship, revolution, and so on, is how their daily life is shaped by politics and neighborliness. It also takes a different approach from the traditional policy. The student’s attention to his daily culture is focused on the ‘ thick ’ meaning of leisure, play, reading, hobbies, silver words, resistance cultures and emotions. It re-structuring everyday micro-experiences and focusing on the experience of ‘the local ’ students.
