(재) 동아시아연구원 가치와 윤리센터(소장 곽준혁)는 고려대 아세아문제연구소 동아시아 사상센터와 함께 “과거사 화해와 상속된 책임성”(Historical Reconciliation and Inherited Responsibility) 국제 워크숍을 개최합니다. 이번 워크숍은 한일병합 100년을 맞아 과거청산 중심의 과거사 화해가 초래한 문제점들을 극복하고, 미래지향적인 과거사 화해를 위한 새로운 이론적•실천적 해법을 제시하기 위해 마련되었으며, 과거 세대가 저지른 역사적 과오에 대해 후속 세대가 책임을 물려받아야 하는 이론적 근거를 밝히는 데 그 목적이 있습니다. 또한 과거사에 대한 각국의 상이한 이해가 지역통합과 평화공존에 장애가 되어왔다는 문제의식에서 동아시아 국가들 간의 과거사 화해에 필요한 정치적 해법을 모색하고 있습니다. 과거사 문제를 연구해온 세계적인 학자들이 참여하는 이번 워크숍은 일본군 ‘위안부’ 문제를 ‘역사적 부정의’라는 보편적인 틀에서 바라볼 수 있는 계기를 제공해 줄 수 있으리라 생각됩니다. 또한 민족주의적 입장에서 과거사 청산만을 중시하거나, 과거사 문제는 덮어두고 외교적 관계의 회복만을 중시하는 입장과 구분되는 새로운 시각을 접할 수 있는 소중한 기회의 장이 될 것입니다.
