The Society of Korean Language and Literature(SKLL) gave me an honorable assignment to seek new methodologies of Korean linguistics and literature suitable to the unification era. Perhaps it's contrary to the paradigm for the division era, which has been shared by the members of SKLL even untill now. The main problem with the latter is the general ignorance of North Korean achievements of Korean linguistics and literature ever since the Liberation. In 1970's Kang Man-gil created the term ‘division era’ and in 1980's Paik Nak-chung further proposed the discourse ‘division system’. They were alarm bells urging the paradigm shift. Now, we come to the fork of a road. To deconstuct the paradigm of the division era on the one hand and to reconstruct the paradigm of the unification era on the other. First of all the conversations with the North Korean scholors in the same areas should be done. But we must keep it in mind that they are not the simple specialists. North Korean scholors are similar to traditional ‘seonbi’(士) who tried to combine the learning with the social welfare. Generally speaking South Korean scholors are locked in department system. So, we actively reform our academic traditions centered on positivistic appoaches, which resembles interdisciplinary studies. Ideas matter also. How to make big narratives for the unification paradigm, that is the question. Perhaps it will be the first step to change the meaning of the unification: from federation(one nation) to confederation(coexistence of South and North Korea).
