Shintan Gakkai - Shintan Gakkai

Japanese: 震檀学会 - しんたんがっかい

This research group was established in colonial Korea in May 1934. It was the first organization run by Koreans themselves, with historians such as Lee Byung-jo at the core, and literary scholars, linguists, and folklorists such as Kim Tae-jun, Choi Hyun-bae, and Son Jin-tae also joining, aiming to develop research into national studies and Korean studies. In terms of historiography, it is notable for its united front character among a wide range of researchers, as it was an organization that brought together people belonging to the first two of the three major trends in historical research during the colonial period, namely ethnohistory, empirical history, and socio-economic history, and Kim Seok-hyung and Park Si-hyung, who would later occupy leading positions in the historical world of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made their debut in academia through this society.

植民地下の朝鮮で1934年5月に設立された研究会。李丙燾ら歴史学者を中心に，金台俊，崔鉉培，孫晋泰ら文学者，語学者，民俗学者も加わり，国学＝朝鮮学研究の発展を目指した，朝鮮人自身による初めての組織である。史学史的には，植民地期の歴史研究の三大潮流，すなわち民族史学，実証史学，社会経済史学のうち，前2者に属する人たちが合流した組織であること，のちに朝鮮民主主義人民共和国の歴史学界において指導的地位を占めることになる金錫亨，朴時亨も，学界へのデビューはこの学会を通じてであったことなど，その幅広い研究者の連合戦線的な性格が注目される。
