  • Identity Under Japanese Occupation
    1 “BECOMING JAPANESE:” IDENTITY UNDER JAPANESE OCCUPATION GRADES: 9-12 AUTHOR: Katherine Murphy TOPIC/THEME: Japanese Occupation, World War II, Korean Culture, Identity TIME REQUIRED: Two 60-minute periods BACKGROUND: The lesson is based on the impact of the Japanese occupation of Korea during World War II on Korean culture and identity. In particular, the lesson focuses on the Japanese campaign in 1940 to encourage Koreans to abandon their Korean names and adopt Japanese names. This campaign was known as “sōshi-kaimei." The purpose of this campaign, along with campaigns requiring Koreans to recite an oath to the Japanese Emperor and bow at Shinto shrines, were to make the Korean people “Japanese” and hopefully, loyal subjects of the Japanese Empire by abandoning their Korean identity and loyalties. These cultural policies and campaigns were key to the Japanese war effort during World War II. The lesson draws from the students’ lives as well as two books: Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean Boyhood by Richard E. Kim and Under the Black Umbrella: Voices from Colonial Korea 1910-1945 by Hildi Kang. CURRICULUM CONNECTION: The lesson is intended to use the major themes from the summer reading book Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean Boyhood to introduce students to one of the five essential questions of the World History II course: How is identity constructed? How does identity impact human experience? In first investigating the origin of their own names and the meaning of Korean names, students can begin to explore the question “How is identity constructed?’ In examining how and why the Japanese sought to change the Korean people’s names, religion, etc during World War II, students will understand how global events such as World War II can impact an individual.

The single authorship of such documents is often an aftereffect only once a text is completed. Indeed, while I have written all the words on these pages and am responsible for them, the influences behind the words extend to many people and places over the course of many years whose myriad contributions must be mentioned.

Abstract Enemies of the Lineage: Widows and Customary Rights in Colonial Korea, 1910-1945 by Sungyun Lim Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew E. Barshay, Chair My dissertation examines Korean widows and their legal rights during the Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945), focusing on widows and their lawsuits over property rights, inheritance and adoption. Utilizing civil case records from the Superior Court of Colonial Korea (Ch!sen K!t! H!in), I argue that women’s rights were diminished by the Korean customs adopted by the judicial system under the Japanese colonial state. By examining the production process of Korean customs in the colonial civil courts, I emphasize Korean agency in the transformation of family customs during the Japanese colonial period. Women’s property and inheritance rights developed in close relationship with the Japanese family policy, which aimed to disintegrate the lineages in Korea into nuclear households. The Japanese colonial state strengthened the household system by protecting customary rights that allowed widows to become house-heads.

  • Foreign First Names in Korea Kwang-Sook
    Foreign First Names in Korea Kwang-Sook Lie Department ofGerman Language Education, Seoul National University 1. Introduction In Korea it is customary to give a newborn child only one single first name. Several first names are not officially allowed. First names consist mainly of two Korean syllables which are reproduced with Chinese characters: for example, Kwang Sook. The two characters of the first name belong together and are used as a whole. Korean surnames and first names are often made up of three syllables: Lie Kwang Sook. There are few fundamental restrictions when choosing a first name. Surnames and names of places are usually not allowed. Parents', grandparents' and near relatives' first names are not to be used for newborn children. The first name of prominent people in areas such as politics, arts, literature, sport and science etc. are also avoided if possible. Thus the identification of an individual with the first name is very important. Specific Chinese characters which are extremely difficult in structure and pronunciation are officially not recommended. It is not necessary that the gender of the person concerned is clearly recognisable by the first name. A considerable number of women therefore have masculine first names: Sun-chul, Yong­ suk; and there are also some cases where men have feminine names: Chung-hee, Chin-nee. Except for the just mentioned restrictions, one can theoretically use any letter as a first name. Even though in Korea one has many possibilities in name­ giving, the share of foreign first names is however small. In this paper foreign names are those that are not traceable back to authentic Korean names like Na-ra and A-rim, or Sino-Korean names such as Kwang-sook and Dong-mL Most characters of Sino-Korean first names are of Chinese origin, but with the passing of time these have been so firmly 52 THE SNU JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONRESEARCH naturalised and the Korean pronunciation and writing have adapted so well that one does not see them as foreign any more.

  • Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination
    Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination UNCRC Alternative Report to the 5th Periodic Report for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) September 2017 Submitted by People for Successful COrean REunification (PSCORE) Table of Contents Summary/Objective 2 Methodology 3 “Free” Education 4 Unchecked and Unmonitored: Physical Abuse in Schools 6 Forced Manual Labor during School 7 Mandatory Collections 8 Ideology and Education 9 Recommendation 12 References 13 1 Summary/Objective The goal of this report is for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to strongly consider the DPRK’s deplorable educational system at the 76th Pre-Sessional Working Group. A great number of reprehensible offenses have been committed by the DPRK against children’s education. Falsely advertised “free” education, unchecked corporal punishment and abuse in school, and forced manual labor in place of time in the classroom are the most notable, and will all be detailed in this report. But the most severe injustice is the content of the DPRK’s education, which is all geared to either overtly or covertly instill fear and hate into the minds of the state’s youngest and most impressionable minds. Education in the DPRK is filled with historical distortion and manipulative teachings that serve the state’s rulers, instilling a reverence for the DPRK’s government and leaders and a hatred toward any people or ideas that are not in alignment with the government’s. Education should be truthful and promote the values of peace, tolerance, equality, and understanding (General Comment No. 1, Article 29).
