Since July 2019, South Korea and Japan have been engaged in a cultural and economic conflict which originated in the differing stances of the two governments on the issues of sexual slavery and forced mobilization of Korean laborers before and during World War II. This ongoing dispute is a reminder that the fact of colonialism and the question of how it should be interpreted have not gone away: these are still present tense issues. The book's subtitle The Origin of the Korean Elite, What Did They Do When They Came back to Korea? makes clear that the elite class which held power and influence in the newly born Republic of Korea were actually educated in Japan, at the Japanese Imperial University. This book examines evidence which sheds light on the motives of Korean students attending the Imperial University, describing their academic studies and their lives after the liberation. By revealing this enduring substratum of "Japanese origins" at the heart of the South Korean establishment, a current which is not generally realized by Koreans today, the book allows us to re-examine our origins and thus to better understand our present-day identity and situation. It also addresses the question of how to confront these difficult questions, proposing a "historicization of what happened during the colonial period," which is not about hiding or minimizing the importance of our origins, but about facing up to reality as it actually happened.

지구상에 서식하고 있는 포유강(Class: Mammalia), 박쥐목(Order: Chiroptera)에 속하는 박쥐류는 1,000여종에 이르는 것으로 알려졌으며, 포유류 중에서 1/4을 차지하고 있으며, 그 2/3는 곤충류를 포식하는 식충성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 박쥐류는 관박쥐과(Family:Rhinolophidae) 2종, 애기박쥐과(Family: Vespertilionidae) 28종, 큰귀박쥐과(Family: Molossidae) 1종으로서 총 31종이며, 모두 식충성 동물이다. 흡충류라고 하는 것은 편형동물문에 속하는 기생성 동물의 한 군으로서, 항온동물의 장이나 그 밖에 조직에 기생하는 것은 모두 하나 또는 두개 이상의 중간숙주를 필요로 하는 이생 흡충이다. 제1중간숙주는 고둥이지만 제2중간숙주는 여러 가지 변온동물로서 그 대부분은 생활사에 있어서 수서 생활을 하는 시기가 있는 것에 한정되지만 이는 제1중간숙주의 체내에서 형성된 꼬리유충이라고 하는 흡충류의 유생이 보통 물 속을 헤엄쳐 다니다가 제2중간숙주에 침입하게 된다. 박쥐류는 여러 가지 땅강아지나 개똥벌레를 포식하기 때문에 이들 유생이 물 속에서 흡충류의 피낭유충에 감염되었을 경우 박쥐류가 흡충류의 종숙주로서 적합하면 그 체내에서 피낭유충이 장에서 탈랑하여 드디어 성충으로 된다. 만일, 감염된 수서 곤충의 유생이 우화되면 그 유생 시대에 감염된 피낭유충이 그 숙주의 변태와는 상관없이 그 기생이 이어져 적당한 종숙주에게 섭취되기를 기다리게 된다. 우리나라에 있어서 박쥐류에 기생하는 흡충류에 관한 조사 연구는 일찌기 도쿄문리과 대학 동물학 연구실의 Ogata(1938)에 의하여 이루어진 이래 경성제국대학 의학부의 Park(1939a,b)과 후쿠오까대학 의학부의 Kifune et al.(1983, 1997)이 있을 뿐 우리나라 학자에 의한 연구 보고는 접할 수 없는 형편이다. 그럼으로, 우리나라 학자도 이에 관한 더욱 더 깊은 관심을 가져야할 것으로 생각하는 바 이에 지금까지 보고된 자료를 종합, 검토하여 기술하고자 한다.

This study analyzed the educational background, career, and post-retirement activities of notable bureaucrats employed at Chosun Railway Bureau during the Japanese colonial period in Korea. First, significantly, most railway bureaucrats were of Japanese origin, being specialized in railway operations and adjusted to occupation in a reserved organizational environment for a considerable time period. Second, the Japanese showed explicit eagerness to work at the Chosun Railway, which fitted their ideology of railway bureaucrats. In addition, almost 60% of the bureaucrat population had strong educational experience from Tokyo Imperial University, which is equal to the percentage of graduates from other institutions operating during the Japanese colonial period. Moreover, in the very early period of building the railway system, the demand for specialists was higher than for other jobs and divisions because of the railroad's complex infrastructure, which resulted in high job appointment rates. In a similar sense, based on a strong affiliation of bureaucrats with railways, the number of bureaucrats from Japanese Railway Worker's Bureau was higher initially because of bureaucrats from South Manchurian Railway Company. These changes essentially contributed to alteration of bureaucrats' awareness and created a more positive attitude regarding the Chosun Railway. In the meantime, as opposed to the Taiwan and Manchurian Railways, both Chosun Railway and the Taiwan Railway were operated in compliance with strong bureaucratic traditions.
