We have faced difficulties with the concept of family itself from the start of our inquiry into the family. In our research on the family, we shared the thought that the family is what constitutes a core of women’s questions arising in the Korean context. We consider family questions as philosophical questions concerned with the fundamental human conditions and women’s existence throughout his- tory. In contrast with the family in the Korean context, the Japanese family as a philosophical question is also examined. In East Asia, the concept and the reality of the family have historically been determined by Confucian tradition. The family was conceived primarily in its institutional role and never as a love relationship between man and woman. Filial piety has been the main virtue governing family relations, along with the virtue of paying loyalty to the king, in the Confucian context. The first paper deals with the concept of the family in traditional Korean society. It proposes that filial piety as the core concept of Korean traditional culture can be made viable through a reflective reconstruction of the concept.

    NOTEs 1 INTRODUCTiON: DEVELOPMENTAL SOCiAL GOVERNANCE iN TRANsiTiON 1. Chaebol is a term (in Korean) for South Korean business conglomerate(s) that operates multiple corporations in diverse industries with tight ownership and management control by a fam- ily (Kang, M. 1996). Chaebol’s indiscreet borrowings from interna- tional lenders in the 1990s were mainly held responsible for the national financial crisis of 1997–1998 (Kong, T. 2000). 2. Social policy was for the first time formalized into the organiza- tional structure of the government during the Roh Moo-Hyun presidency as Roh had been harshly criticized for neglecting social policy concerns during the early phase of his term. He set up a new post of “the chief secretary of social policy” in the presidential office in 2004. 2 DEVELOPMENTAL LiBERALisM: THE DEVELOPMENTAL STATE AND SOCiAL POLiCY 1.

    Marxism, Stalinism, and the Juche Speech of 1955: on the Theoretical De-Stalinization of North Korea

    Marxism, Stalinism, and the Juche Speech of 1955: On the Theoretical De-Stalinization of North Korea Alzo David-West This essay responds to the argument of Brian Myers that late North Korean leader Kim Il Sung’s Juche speech of 1955 is not nationalist (or Stalinist) in any meaningful sense of the term. The author examines the literary formalist method of interpretation that leads Myers to that conclusion, considers the pro- grammatic differences of orthodox Marxism and its development as “Marx- ism-Leninism” under Stalinism, and explains that the North Korean Juche speech is not only nationalist, but also grounded in the Stalinist political tradi- tion inaugurated in the Soviet Union in 1924. Keywords: Juche, Nationalism, North Korean Stalinism, Soviet Stalinism, Socialism in One Country Introduction Brian Myers, a specialist in North Korean literature and advocate of the view that North Korea is not a Stalinist state, has advanced the argument in his Acta Koreana essay, “The Watershed that Wasn’t” (2006), that late North Korean leader Kim Il Sung’s Juche speech of 1955, a landmark document of North Korean Stalinism authored two years after the Korean War, “is not nationalist in any meaningful sense of the term” (Myers 2006:89). That proposition has far- reaching historical and theoretical implications. North Korean studies scholars such as Charles K. Armstrong, Adrian Buzo, Seong-Chang Cheong, Andrei N. Lankov, Chong-Sik Lee, and Bala、zs Szalontai have explained that North Korea adhered to the tactically unreformed and unreconstructed model of nationalist The Review of Korean Studies Volume 10 Number 3 (September 2007) : 127-152 © 2007 by the Academy of Korean Studies.
  • The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature

    The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature

    1 The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature Seong-su Kim (Sungkyunkwan University) 1. The purpose of this article is to analyze the how the conception of the term Minjok Moonhak (national literature) has been perceived differently in South and North Korea. In other words, this article will examine how the modern concept of ‘Moonhak,’ Korean equivalent for ‘literature,’ which was shared by both Koreas during the colonial period, is now perceived differently due to ideological differences under the ‘socialist vs. liberal democracy’ system on the Korean Peninsula after division. The discussion of the division of the conception of national literature is conversely based on the premise that both Koreas have historically shared the same concept. Notwithstanding the system of division, which has lasted for more than 70 years, the speech community composed of spoken (Korean/Joseon- eo) or written (Hangul/Joseon-mun) language 1 is still viable; each language does not require interpretation and translation. This is fortunate, given that there is a high possibility that the Korean Peninsula will be reunited someday. When discussing the national literature of South and North Korea, academic discussion will be impossible if one side is consistently regarded as orthodox and disparages the other. If each country does not recognize the value of the writers and works of its counterpart because the two Koreas are caught up in the realms of ideology, Korean cultural heritage that encompasses both North and South Korea will be greatly reduced. From the perspective of Conceptual History [Begriffsgeschichte], which historically analyzes certain concepts and terms, ‘Korean literature and Joseon literature’ are not synonyms for ‘national literature,’ but are rather antonyms.

It would not be an overstatement for me to say that Korea Foundation has enabled me to begin and complete my dissertation. I would also like to thank Academy of Korean Studies for providing the funds to extend my stay in Korea. I am grateful for my advisors Professors Kelly Jeong, Henk Maier, and Annmaria Shimabuku, who have provided their invaluable comments and criticisms to improve and reshape my attitude and understanding of North Korean literature. I am indebted to Prof. Perry Link for encouraging me and helping me understand the similarities and differences found in the PRC and the DPRK. Prof. Kim Chae-yong has been my mentor in reading North Korean literature, opening up opportunities for me to conduct research in Korea and guiding me through each of the readings. Without him, my research could not have gotten to where it is today. Ch’oe Chin-i and the Imjingang Team have become an invaluable resource to my research of writers in the Writer’s Union and the dynamic changes occurring in North Korea today.

    Cold War Cultures in Korea by Travis Workman

    Cold War Cultures in Korea Instructor: Travis Workman Campuses: U of Minnesota, Ohio State U, and Pennsylvania State U Course website: http://coldwarculturesinkorea.com In this course we will analyze the Cold War (1945-1989) not only as an era in geopolitics, but also as a historical period marked by specific cultural and artistic forms. We focus on the Korean peninsula, looking closely at the literary and film cultures of both South Korea and North Korea. We discuss how the global conflict between U.S.- centered and Soviet-centered societies affected the politics, culture, and geography of Korea between 1945 and 1989, treating the division of Korea as an exemplary case extending from the origins of the Cold War to the present. We span the Cold War divide to compare the culture and politics of the South and the North through various cultural forms, including anti-communist and socialist realist films, biography and autobiography, fiction, and political discourse. We also discuss the legacy of the Cold War in contemporary culture and in the continued existence of two states on the Korean peninsula. The primary purpose is to be able to analyze post-1945 Korean cultures in both their locality and as significant aspects of the global Cold War era. Topics will include the politics of melodrama, cinema and the body, visualizing historical memory, culture under dictatorship, and issues of gender. TEXTS For Korean texts and films, the writer or director’s family name appears first. Please use the family name in your essays and check with me if you are unsure.

    Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu

    Volume 15 | Issue 14 | Number 4 | Article ID 5056 | Jul 15, 2017 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu Mark Morris Abstract The first consciousness that a new Korean cultural wave –hallyu-- was in motion began to take shape in different forms and at different times in the rest of East Asia. It was the craze for Korean TV drama that represented a sudden apparition of something new from South Korea. Before long, however, this wave grew bigger and far more complex than anyone might have predicted, including Korean pop music and films, animation, online games, smartphones, fashion, cosmetics, etc. There have been resistances to this inundation notably in Japan, a country where several earlier mini-hallyu now seem long forgotten. Keywords Hallyu, tv drama, Korean pop, manga, film I want our nation to be the most beautiful in the world. By this I do not mean the most powerful nation. The only thing that I desire Kim Ku, 1876–1949 in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture. This is because the power of culture both makes us happy and gives happiness to Kim Ku (1876-1949), in this rightly famous call others. to culture published not too long before his violent death, went on to articulate a vision of a Kim Ku, Baekbeom ilji (1947) Korea in which Koreans would not only be free for the first time in a long while to be Korean, Introduction but would as well project their culture out into the world. As he put it: ‘I wish our country to be not one that imitates others, but rather the source, goal, and model of this new and advanced culture.

How have modern Korean writers grappled with this question? Moving from early twentieth century to the present, we will cover major literary movements, their key works and authors, and techniques of close reading and analysis. We will explore how the search for the modern self intersected with processes of colonialism, enlightenment, nation building, migration, urbanization, industrialization, liberation, war, national division, democratization, neoliberalism, and virtualization. By the end of the course, students will have enhanced their aesthetic responsiveness to literary works and know how to contextualize them within modern Korea’s broader socio-historical trajectory, through eras of Japanese occupation, the Cold War, and post-democratization. No background in Korean language, history, or culture is required. Course Outcome: By the end of the course, students will have ● attained historically-situated knowledge about modern Korean culture and society. ● encountered canonical and currently trending works (fiction and poetry) of Korean literature. ● the analytical tools to close-read literary texts and explore broader themes. ● the ability to appreciate poetic, stylistic, formal, and structural design of literary texts. ● the ability to read literary texts "against the grain" (i.e.
