The History of Korean Studies at Freie Universität Berlin the Institute of Korean Studies at Freie Universität Berlin Greetings from the Institute of Korean Studies The Institute of Korean Studies at Freie Universität Berlin Greetings from the Institute of Korean Studies n the autumn of 2018, the Institute of Korean Studies Imoved to a new location. We left the cosy little building at Fabeckstraße 7 to settle into a spacious villa with a large garden at Otto-von-Simson-Straße 11. To mark the happy occasion, we put up a traditional Korean pavilion in the garden of our new home. The “Fountain of Wisdom”, as the pavilion was named, was designed and built by Lee Gwang-bok, master builder of traditional Korean houses. Financial support was provided by the AmorePacific Corporation. The ceremony for the raising of the pavilion’s ridge beam on 2 October 2018 also came to provide the setting for an inter-Korean encounter. Attended by their excellencies the ambassadors of both North and South Korea residing in the reunified city of Berlin, our celebrations of a happy occasion thus took on a further, symbolic meaning, exemplifying the manner in which the Institute of Korean Studies, true to its name, strives to engage in the study of Korea as a whole. The Institute of Korean Studies at Freie Universität Berlin has shown considerable development in the ten years since 2008. The number of our students and research staff has greatly increased, and we have, above all, continuously published outstanding research results. We have also established ourselves, in Germany and in Europe, as an institution providing policy advice on various issues regarding the Korean peninsula. For certain issues, such as peace and security on the Korean peninsula, we have developed a strong presence in the German and European media. Through this report, we intend to provide an overview of what has been achieved over the last ten years and outline our plans for the future. We sincerely thank everyone who has supported the Institute until now and hope you will continue to be interested in our work in the upcoming ten years.

  • (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon*
    Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2 (summer 2014): 62-86. 62 © Korean NationalKOREA Commission JOURNAL for / UNESCO,SUMMER 2014 Queen Munjeong’s (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon* Jongmyung KIM Abstract Queen Munjeong (1501-1565) was a substantial power holder who administered national affairs from “behind the bamboo curtain” during the Joseon dynasty (1392- 1910). The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between her view on Buddhism and statecraft in sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon. To that end, this study examines Queen Munjeong's Buddhist activities in anti-Buddhist Confucian society, her understanding of Buddhism, and her statecraft in relation to her Buddhist policy. Queen Munjeong did not reject heterodoxy and respected tradition, which served as the logic for her favor of Buddhism. She was a substantial power holder who surpassed royal authority in power and suppressed remonstrators, and her Buddhist activities had strong elements of private character while seeking miraculous efficacy, which eventually resulted in criticism from her contemporary and immediate later generations. Keywords: Buddhism, Confucianism, Joseon, Queen Munjeong, statecraft, suryeom cheongjeong 垂簾聽政 (“politics from behind the bamboo curtain”) * This article was originally presented as “Politics and Buddhism in Sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon” at the 25th Biennial Conference of the Association for Korean Studies in Europe, Moscow, Russia, June 17-20, 2011.

  • The Difficult Japan-South Korea Relations As Clash of Realities Taku Tamaki
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository It Takes Two to Tango: The Difficult Japan-South Korea Relations as Clash of Realities Taku Tamaki Abstract: Why do Japan-South Korea relations remain difficult despite several efforts to overcome the past? Elite narratives in Japan and South Korea reify the bilateral relationship as a difficulty due to troublesome and insincere neighbour. For the Japanese policy elites, the difficulty is due to troublesome South Koreans unwilling to embrace future-oriented relationship; whereas for the South Korean policy elites, the insincere Japanese unwilling to address past wrong-doing is the source of the problem. The result is a self-fulfilling prophecy of an intractable mutual misapprehension, suggesting that the difficult relationship is here to stay. I analyze pronouncements by both the Japanese- and South Korean policy elites appearing in official documents and media reports for clues into the manner in which the bilateral relationship is reified into a difficulty purportedly due to the recalcitrance of the neighbour. The narratives consistently show that both the Japanese- and South Korean policy elites consider the onus of improvement lies with the troublesome/insincere neighbour. In short, the bilateral relationship is a clash of realities, with the logical conclusion being that the difficult relationship will persist for the foreseeable future. Difficulty underpins the bilateral relationship between Japan and South Korea. The difficulty is normally considered a given, being treated as a starting point for discussions. However, if difficulty is so pervasive, then we need an account exploring the underlying conditions that perpetuate difficulty.
