The Korean Relocation Programs Office is now located on Yongsan at the former Northern Resident Office, Building 1668. It’s close to the Navy Club so, now you have an incentive to find us! By the way, I’d like to thank our Logistics and Information Management staffs for getting the office set-up and functional. My sincere appreciation goes to Ed Minnerly, Ricky Bashor, and their folks for making this all happen. Hooah! The Korean Relocation Programs Office business has been moving at warp speed since my arrival in September 2005. No two days are the same.

    Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.

It also served to aid the US side in keeping the Soviets from completely annexing the peninsula. The 38th parallel was chosen by the US to keep Seoul within US control. Surprisingly, the Soviets agreed to the terms. There had even been discussions about giving control of Korea back to the Korean people once the Japanese were gone.

Existing interpretations of both works are problematic because they see the depictions of women in the paintings as representative of Korean women in 1940s. By investigating the Pacific War time gender hegemonies, like the “Wise Mother, Good Wife” rhetoric that opposed that of the “New Woman,” and exploring Japanese Imperial Orientalism towards Korea, this study will provide an alternative reading of Yi’s two Female Figure Paintings.

Minjokgŭk utilizes elements of “indigenous” cultures and searches for “the Korean ethnic (arche)type” as “the ideal Korean type” or “genuine Korean-ness” for the reconstruction of “the Korean ethnic community.” In this context, this dissertation thematically approaches rethinking the issue of rhetorical representation. As a methodological tool, I adopt feminist deconstruction to unfold the epistemological contradictions of the essentialist idea embedded in the notion of “the Korean (arche)type,” problematizing the ethnocentric

For later developments, see North Korea: History; and South Korea: History. Korea to c. 1400 The dawn of history Archaeological, linguistic, and legendary sources support the view that the Korean peninsula was settled by Tungusic- speaking peoples who migrated in waves from Manchuria and Siberia. They settled along the coasts and moved up the river valleys. These peoples formed the dominant ethnic foundation of the Korean people and developed the Korean language. There was a close relationship between Korean culture and that of neighbouring peoples during the Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) and the Bronze Age. For example, Korean comb pottery, widely used in the Neolithic Period, is commonly found in northeastern Asia; Korean bronze daggers, belt hooks, and knobbed mirrors also display the traits of bronze tools unearthed elsewhere in the region. THE STONE AGE Stone artifacts of the Paleolithic Period have been unearthed at Kulp’o-ri in North Hamgyŏng province (North Korea) and at Sŏkch’ang in South Ch’ungch’ŏng province (South Korea). Of 13 stratified Paleolithic sites, each cultural stratum produced chipped-stone tools of different shapes.

  • Minjung Misul in Dissident Nationalism of South Korea
    DEMOCRACY AS THE LEGITIMATE “FORM” AND “CONTENT”: MINJUNG MISUL IN DISSIDENT NATIONALISM OF SOUTH KOREA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Hyejong Yoo May 2011 © 2011 Hyejong Yoo DEMOCRACY AS THE LEGITIMATE “FORM” AND “CONTENT”: MINJUNG MISUL IN DISSIDENT NATIONALISM OF SOUTH KOREA Hyejong Yoo, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This study delineates minjung misul’s (“the people’s art”) sotong (“dialogue”) in re- envisioning Koreans’ modernism and nation-state during the 1980s’ democratization movement of South Korea. Aligned with the postcolonial dissident movement and the democratization movement, the minjung artists’ multilayered dialogue with the sociopolitical, economic, cultural-intellectual, and spiritual realms articulated the artists’ underlying operational logic and aspirations—the creation of a legitimate Korean modernism and modernity—in the form of dissident nationalism. In contrast to the state’s ethnic nationalism, dissident nationalism, which inherited the Korean desire for democracy from the nationalist movement, engaged in political and aesthetic- ethical contemplations of democracy. With democracy as their central principle, the minjung artists radically reexamined and reconceptualized democracy and other “familiar” yet ambiguous and multi-layered notions/discourses in their reworking of Korean modernism and everyday/national community. In exploring the minjung artists’ aesthetic, discursive, and activist endeavors, I demonstrate that the minjung artists attempted to create a competing model of modernism and modernity that would have moral legitimacy over the existing Western and Korean modernisms and modernities. I explore how their structural critique of art ideology and of the art establishment developed into a reenvisioning of everyday community and of the democratization of the Korean nation-state.
