  • Landscapes of Korean and Korean American Biblical Interpretation
    BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION AMERICAN AND KOREAN LANDSCAPES OF KOREAN International Voices in Biblical Studies In this first of its kind collection of Korean and Korean American Landscapes of Korean biblical interpretation, essays by established and emerging scholars reflect a range of historical, textual, feminist, sociological, theological, and postcolonial readings. Contributors draw upon ancient contexts and Korean American and even recent events in South Korea to shed light on familiar passages such as King Manasseh read through the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, David and Bathsheba’s narrative as the backdrop to the prohibition against Biblical Interpretation adultery, rereading the virtuous women in Proverbs 31:10–31 through a Korean woman’s experience, visualizing the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and demarcations in Galatians, and introducing the extrabiblical story of Eve and Norea, her daughter, through story (re)telling. This volume of essays introduces Korean and Korean American biblical interpretation to scholars and students interested in both traditional and contemporary contextual interpretations.

  • "Grammaticality Judgment"
    Prosodic Influence on Syntactic Judgments * Yoshihisa Kitagawa and Janet Dean Fodor Indiana University Graduate Center, CUNY We argue for the importance of controlling prosody in soliciting syntactic judgments. Through the analyses of a variety of complex Wh-constructions in Japanese, we first attempt to reveal that a construction which requires a non-default prosody is vulnerable to misjudgments of syntactic well- formedness when it is presented to the subjects in writing. We then report on our pilot experiments on the comparison of grammaticality judgments of written and spoken sentences in both English and Japanese, which supports our claim. Keywords: implicit prosody, default prosody, parsing, Wh-questions in Japanese, long-distance scrambling, 1. Introduction It appears that there is a rebellion in the making, against the intuitive judgments of syntacticians as a privileged database for the development of syntactic theory. Such intuitions may be deemed inadequate because they are not sufficiently representative of the language community at large. The judgments are generally few and not statistically validated, and they are made by sophisticated people who are not at all typical users of the language. Linguists are attuned to subtle syntactic distinctions, about which they have theories. However, our concern in this paper is with the opposite problem: that even the most sophisticated judges may occasionally miss a theoretically significant fact about well- formedness. In the 1970‟s it was observed that in order to make a judgment of syntactic well- formedness one must sometimes be creative. It was noted that some sentences, such as (1), are perfectly acceptable in a suitable discourse context, and completely unacceptable otherwise (e.g., as the initial sentence of a conversation; see Morgan (1973).

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the cerebellar cortex modulating the fear memory network are unclear. Here, we illustrate that synaptic signaling in cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) via STAT3 regulates long-term fear memory.

  • Csuri (Charles)
    INTERVIEW WITH CHUCK CSURI JUNE 10, 2003 Q. This is the Ohio State University Oral History Project. This is the Charles Csuri summary deposition, recorded on Tuesday, June 10, 2002. I’m Robert Butche, Principal Historian of the Csuri research, and with me is Charles Csuri. Good morning, Chuck. A. Good morning. Q. I want to start this conversation we’re going to have today with your youth. When were you born? A. I was born July 4, 1922. Q. And the world’s been celebrating ever since? A. Oh yes. Q. Where? A. In Grantown, West Virginia, a small coal mining town. Q. And that was where your father was working as a miner at the time? A. That’s right. Q. And what other members of your family existed when you came along? A. When I came along, my brother Frank, and my brother Steve, were around. Q. And how much older were they? A. Frank was 11 years older and Steve 9 years older than I am. Q. What was life like in Grantown, Virginia in your youth? 1 A. Grantown, West Virginia, small coaling mining town. There was no entertainment. Whatever you could do as a youngster was entertainment. And when you’re young like that I suppose you don’t notice the degree of poverty, the hardship, as much perhaps as one might when they’re older, looking back, especially when I think in terms of what my parents had to endure. We rented a house. The toilet was outside. There was no indoor toilets.

MARKETING K-POP AND J-POP IN THE 21ST CENTURY Sarah Brand Senior Thesis Department of East Asian Studies Dickinson College May 10, 2017 Brand 2017 Music is an important part of daily life and, as a result, an integral part of culture. The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.
