They maintain that sexual inequality can only be abolished as part of the broader socialist transformation through pulling women into the paid labour force. If the communist claim is true, women in communist regimes should be equal regardless of their cultural tradition, while women's position in communist regimes should be higher than in capitalist regimes. However, women's experiences in communist regimes revealed that their position varies from country to country and region to region, revealing the influence of culture in a variety of guises. In this respect, the former two Germanies and the two Koreas provide a rare chance of a cross-regime and cross-cultural comparative study. Germany and Korea have maintained distinct cultures different from their neighbours. The traditions of the two nations ran into revolutionary changes and discontinuities in the wake of their division into communist and capitalist regimes. The communist regimes of Germany and Korea advocated women's emancipation through making women part of the working class. Their achievements and failures compared with their severed national halves constituted a laboratory situation for the test of the communist claim. In this thesis, the communist claim is tested through the comparison of women's positions in the four countries, in all aspects of social life: under the law, in the education system, at work, in the family and in politics. The novel contribution of the thesis is its cross-cultural and cross-regime analysis, measuring the impact of the state on women's emancipation, taking into account different cultural impediments. It contributes to the development of feminist analyses of the state and culture, adding empirical evidence to theoretic arguments. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am greatly indebted to Professor Brendan O'Leary and Dr. Diemut Bubeck not only for their intellectual contribution to the formulation and development of this study, but also for their enthusiasm and continuous support. They have been my supervisors, counsellors, and friends. Without their guidance and care, this thesis could not be completed. Many of my friends made my life in London much stable and bearable. Kyung-Sook Chang, Young-Sook Lee and Mikyung You were the best of all. We four shared the whole gamut of feelings from happiness and joy to despair and frustration. I dare say our friendship will be ever lasting. This study was funded for two years by the Korean Government Long-Term Fellowship for Overseas Studies. I have to thank the Korean government, my employer. This study was also funded by the Overseas Research Students (ORS) Awards in 1993. I express a deep gratitude to the CVCP. I would like to thank my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece. I have never seen anybody who has sweeter sister and brother-in- law than mine. They were the reservoir of my strength. Love you all. Finally, I would like to dedicate this study to my mother who has suffered a lot, but never given up hope. Whatever the ups and downs of her life, and whatever the rights and wrongs of me, she trusts and supports me all the time. This thesis should be hers.

The of the Sun’, the most prominent pop cultural drama is thus noteworthy as the first major manifestation of the Republic of Korea’s rising Korean drama to prominently feature status as a global middle power. Through peacekeeping operations (PKO) and South linking the fictional peacekeeping mission to a Korea as a global foreign policy actor in a confidently nationalist conception of South distant land. Because of the drama’s great Korean identity, the drama normalizes troop success in Korea and other parts of East Asia, deployments by circumventing traditional and its immediate entry into political discourse narratives for legitimation. This argument rests as illustrated by Park’s comment, a closer look on observations concerning the omission of any at this pop cultural artefact is warranted. In historical and UN context for the deployment, this article, I follow an increasing body of the Othering of the United States as main critical research in the field of International antagonist, and the unchallenged sense of Relations on the link between world politics righteousness and morality displayed by the and popular culture2 in the wake of the so- main protagonists in an otherwise passive local called “aesthetic turn”, where popular texts are setting.

  • Landscapes of Korean and Korean American Biblical Interpretation

  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

Abstract The following thesis looks at the subject of communist-oriented opposition in the GDR. More specifically, it considers how this phenomenon has been reconstructed in the state-mandated memory landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany since unification in 1990. It does so by presenting three case studies of particular representative value. The first looks at the former member of the Politbüro Paul Merker and how his entanglement in questions surrounding antifascism and antisemitism in the 1950s has become a significant trope in narratives of national (de-)legitimisation since 1990. The second delves into the phenomenon of the dissident through the aperture of prominent singer-songwriter, Wolf Biermann, who was famously exiled in 1976.
