This article presents a brief historical review of anthropology in Korea. In the formative stage, two major movements are considered: anthropology that was introduced under Japanese rule (1910–1945) in the form of colonial ethnology, and modern anthropology that was imported directly from the West after the Liberation (1945). Then, recent trends are examined, with particular reference to anthropological knowledge in the context of the Korean local community, of East Asia as a region, and of the global anthropology market. The article particularly emphasizes that anthropologists on the periphery such as in Korea are faced with a dilemma between the need to globalize their academic results and also to produce locally relevant knowledge, indicating the existence of disparity between the global and the local. The article calls for a serious re-consideration of the power issue involved in the ways by which anthropological questions are conceptualized and formulated.

全球市场与当地社区之间的韩国人类学

本文简要介绍了韩国人类学的历史回顾。在形成阶段，考虑了两个主要运动：在日本统治下（1910-1945）以殖民民族学的形式引入的人类学，以及解放后直接从西方传入的现代人类学（1945）。然后，研究了最近的趋势，特别是在韩国当地社区、东亚地区和全球人类学市场背景下的人类学知识。文章特别强调，在韩国等边缘地区的人类学家面临着将其学术成果全球化的需要与产生与当地相关的知识之间的两难境地，表明全球与当地之间存在差异。
