  • Lesbians in Japan and South Korea
    Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling EAST 4590 – Master’s Thesis in East Asian Studies African and Asian Studies 60 credits – spring 2012 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Master’s thesis, Elise Fylling © Elise Fylling 2012 Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling Academic supervisor: Vladimir Tikhonov http://www.duo.uio.no Printed by: Webergs Printshop Summary Lesbians in Japan and South Korea have long been ignored in both academic, and in social context. The assumption that there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea dominates a large population in these societies, because lesbians do not identify as such in the public domain. Instead they often live double lives showing one side of themselves to the public and another in private. Although there exist no formal laws against homosexuality, a social barrier in relation to coming out to one’s family, friends or co-workers is highly present. Shame, embarrassment and fear of being rejected as deviant or abnormal makes it difficult to step outside of the bonds put on by society’s hetero-normative structures. What is it like to be lesbian in contemporary Japan and South Korea? In my dissertation I look closely at the Japanese and South Korean society’s attitudes towards young lesbians, examining their experiences concerning identity, invisibility, family relations, the question of marriage and how they see themselves in society. I also touch upon how they meet others in spite of their invisibility as well as giving some insight to the way they chose to live their life.

New York: Columbia University Press, 2010. 320 pages. (ISBN-10: 0231153228; ISBN- 13: 978-0231153225) Patrick McEachern’s book Inside the Red Box begins with an anecdote from the inter-Korean summit of June 2000. Party Secretary Kim Yong-sun of the DPRK told the South Korean president that the US military must remove its troops from the peninsula. Kim Jong Il reportedly interrupted, “What problem would there be if the US military remained?” Seeming surprised, Kim Yong-sun began presenting the party line [that] the United States must withdraw…..Kim Jong Il again interrupted, “Secretary Yong-sun, stop that. Even though I try to do something, people under me oppose it like this. Perhaps the military, too, must have the same view … as Secretary Yong-sun.” (1) Underling contradicts boss in front of important guest, whereupon boss announces that insubordination is common in his organization! Such a scene would be screamingly phony even in a car dealership. But at the apex of North Korea, a state that boasts of unified, unquestioning loyalty to Kim Jong Il’s every word? The Soviets staged their good cop-bad cop act more credibly. According to Richard Nixon, they would take their “argument” into an adjacent room, leaving the visiting delegation (or so they hoped) to ponder the advantages of making a bold concession before it was too late. Then again, the Soviets had more respect for the Americans than Kim Jong Il ever showed to his South Korean counterpart.

Colonial Korea and the Olympic Games, 1910–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines how Koreans received and consumed the Olympic Games under Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945). Although a growing body of research on colonial Korea addresses a range of topics beyond politics and economy, sports is still a relatively neglected topic in this field. By exploring Olympic fever in colonial Korea, this study shows how multifaceted aspects of Korean society became a part of the global sports world. Korean athletes participated in the 1932 Summer, 1936 Winter, and 1936 Summer Games as part of the Japanese delegation, attracting much attention from members of all walks of life in colonial Korea. Public figures as varied as political leaders, intellectuals, sport journalists, and athletes recognized and promoted the Games through the burgeoning mass media. As the Olympic Games were a powerful tool for promoting Korean nationalism, Korean athletes’ performance was in the spotlight of Korean vernacular media, which also pursued commercial interests in featuring scandals of athletes. Nevertheless, many advocates of public gymnastics criticized what they perceived as the bourgeois-oriented, if not elitist, nature of the Games.

  • Dynamics of Ethnic Nationalism and Hierarchical Nationhood: Korean Nation and Its Othernesss Since the Late 1980S*
    Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2 (summer 2014): 5-33. © Korean National Commission for UNESCO, 2014 Dynamics of Ethnic Nationalism and Hierarchical Nationhood: Korean Nation and Its Othernesss since the Late 1980s* Dong-Hoon SEOL and Jungmin SEO Abstract Due to an influx of migrants, the multicultural character of South Korean society is gradually deepening. This transformation in the composition of the nation challenges the myth of Korea’s social homogeneity. In this article, we examine the emergence of groups of ethnic and social minorities through the dual factors of globalization and the democratization of Koreans’ conception of nationalism and nationhood. From the late 1980s, new social minorities have emerged in Korean society through democ- ratization and globalization. Globalization brought about an influx of Joseonjok (ethnic Koreans from China), North Korean refugees, foreign spouses, and migrant workers, while democratization has led to the appearance of hwagyo (ethnic Chinese in Korea), gays and lesbians, persons with disabilities, and honhyeorin (mixed- blood people) as social minority groups. These minorities have become members of the Korean nation-state, establishing themselves as new constituents constructing Korean nationhood. We conclude that the dichotomy of inclusion and exclusion of these minorities in Korean society has transformed into a type of hierarchization. We employ the concept of hierarchical nationhood to describe the legal/policy and social dimensions of this hierarchization. Keywords: globalization, democratization, ethnic nationalism, social minorities, hierarchical nationhood, migrant workers, foreign spouses, ethnic Korean Chinese * This study was supported by the international collaborative research fund of Chonbuk National University (ICR-2006-R105694100), 2006.
