Communication Styles in Two Different Cultures: Korean and American by Myung- Seok Park, ISBN 89-348-0358-4 Paul Kim, Manager for International Programs, Korea, tells us that this book is about common problems in communication between Americans and Koreans. He said it made him “roll with laughter.” On the back cover the Korean author notes that, when he once made a speech praising one of his professors at a luncheon in her honor, he felt as if he had committed a crime. He had said, “I want to thank you for the energy you have devoted to us in spite of your great age.” He knew he had done something wrong when he saw the corners of his professor’s mouth twitch. The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History by Don Obendorfer Paul Kim also recommends this book. He said it gives good insights into the reasons for the present tensions between North and South Korea, explains why the country is still separated and has been unable to re-unite, and explains the different thought patterns between North and South Koreans.

  • Korean Communication and Mass Media Research
    International Journal of Communication 2 (2008), 253-275 1932-8036/20080253 Korean Communication and Mass Media Research: Negotiating the West’s Influence JUKKA PEKKA JOUHKI University of Jyväskylä The purpose of this article is to introduce and discuss Korean communication with an emphasis on mass media research in the context of globalization. The American influence on this discipline will be focused on, and the current discussion between indigenization and globalization will be introduced. Lastly, some weak and strong signals for the future of the discipline will be proposed. The main sources are major Korean journals related to the theme in the last few years. References to journals and other publications are deliberately frequent to help the reader find more information on specific themes of research. Moreover, the introduction of the Korean media cultural context has been emphasized due to its unfamiliarity in the global forum. This article is a part of a research project (2006-2009) examining Korean media and new media culture, and it has been funded by the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation1. Korean Mediascape Korea2 is one of the greatest economic success stories of Asia. Throughout its geopolitical history, the Korean Peninsula has been affected by the Japanese, Chinese, and Americans, as well as, recently, by the accelerating forces of globalization — all of them giving great impetus and delicate nuance to Korean society and culture. The Chinese sociocultural effect on Korea has been most significant in terms of its temporality, but also the effect of the Japanese, especially during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) has been immense, influencing, for example, the Korean education system and the work culture.

  • The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011
    The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011 by Sunyoung Yang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sunyoung Yang Year of 2015 The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011 Sunyoung Yang Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract In this dissertation I will shed light on the interwoven process between Internet development and neoliberalization in South Korea, and I will also examine the formation of new subjectivities of Internet users who are also becoming neoliberal subjects. In particular, I examine the culture of the South Korean Internet freak community of DCinside.com and the phenomenon I have dubbed “loser aesthetics.” Throughout the dissertation, I elaborate on the meaning-making process of self-reflexive mockery including the labels “Internet freak” and “surplus (human)” and gender politics based on sexuality focusing on gender ambiguous characters, called Nunhwa, as a means of collective identity-making, and I explore the exploitation of unpaid immaterial labor through a collective project making a review book of a TV drama Painter of the Wind. The youth of South Korea emerge as the backbone of these creative endeavors as they try to find their place in a precarious labor market that has changed so rapidly since the 1990s that only the very best succeed, leaving a large group of disenfranchised and disillusioned youth. I go on to explore the impact of late industrialization and the Asian financial crisis, and the nationalistic desire not be left behind in the age of informatization, but to be ahead of the curve.

  • Media Discourses on the Other: Japanese History Textbook Controversies in Korea
    Media Discourses on the Other: Japanese History Textbook Controversies in Korea Dong-Hoo Lee University of Incheon, Korea [email protected] One of roles of the mass media has been to record, interpret, and reinterpret important moments in national history, thus helping to form what has been called people’s “collective memories.” When history is viewed as a struggle to retain memory, the popular text that carries and recollects the past of a nation-state is not merely mass-delivering factual information about the past; it is reconstructing the concurrent meanings of the past and determining the direction of historical perception. The media of communication condition the form and content of memory and provide a place for historical discourses that compete with that memory. For people in Korea, which was under Japanese colonial rule between 1910 and 1945, their thirty-six year experience of the Japanese as colonialists has been an unsettled diplomatic issue. This painful experience has also consciously and unconsciously affected the Korean media’s construction of images of Japan. While Japan assumes that the Korea–Japan pact of 1965 has resolved the issue of legal indemnity, many Koreans believe that Japan’s reflection on the past has not been sincere enough to eradicate their internalized feeling of being victims of Japanese imperialism. The official apologies made by Japanese leaders have been viewed as formal statements that were not followed by any efforts to liquidate the colonial past. The periodic statements made by leading Japanese politicians that gloss over the colonial past and Japanese textbooks that represent a past that is detached from Koreans’ experiences have aroused anti- Japanese feeling to the present day.

  • Impacts of University Rankings in Korea Kyung Chan Min Chairman
    Impacts of University Rankings in Korea Kyung Chan Min Chairman of the Committee for University Education Presidential Advisory Council on Education, Science & Technology Yonsei University In our daily life the tendency toward comparison is one of our essential attributes and ordinary people naturally show interest in ranking things, individuals or groups of people in various aspects. Popular items of comparison in Korea are university rankings. High school students and their parents consider university rankings as one important factor in deciding where to submit application forms for entrance. These days, government, funding agencies, media, and universities pay attention to annual announcements of university rankings from various organizations. Their interest in international university rankings have been increasing in the last ten years due to the fact that the role of universities is getting more important in the knowledge economy and the quality and impact of education and research in universities is considered as a basis for national competitiveness in a global context. National rankings of universities in Korea are generated by some major newspapers, such as the Joong Ang Ilbo and the Chosun Ilbo. Some of the indicators in rankings are the faculty/student ratio, the number of (SCI) papers per faculty member, research funding per faculty member, scholarships per student, the employment rate of graduates, the retention rate, etc. International rankings with a powerful influence in Korea are the World University Rankings by Times Higher Education (THE), the QS World University Rankings, and Chosun Ilbo-QS Asian University Rankings published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Indicators in these rankings are, according to QS’s Wikipedia (n.d.) page, academic peer review (40%), the faculty/student ratio (20%), citations per faculty member (20%), recruiter reviews (10%), and international orientation (10%).

  • South Korea Date: 21 December 2006
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: KOR31090 Country: South Korea Date: 21 December 2006 Refugee Review Tribunal Keywords: South Korea – Protesters - Democracy Activists - Student Movement This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. What is the situation for pro-democracy/student protesters in South Korea? RESPONSE 1. What is the situation for pro-democracy/student protesters in South Korea? While South Korea has been a democracy since 1987 and protests are both permitted and frequent, it is possible that individuals or groups who support North Korea could still be arrested under the National Security Law. This response is divided into the following sections A. Protests in South Korea B. Democracy and the Pro-democracy movement in South Korea today Protests in South South Korea Sources indicate that street protests are very frequent and often violent in South Korea and demonstrators and police are sometimes injured in demonstrations. Whereas in demonstrations in the 1980s concentrated on calls for human rights and democracy, demonstrations since the mid-1990s have more often centred on the issues of workers’ rights, globalisation and free trade and US forces in South Korea, as well as protests about particular government policies. Protests have been particularly common in recent years, with an average of 11,000 demonstrations a year.

First released on 15th July 2012, it became the first video to pass two billion views on YouTube. 400 news articles between July 2012 and March 2013 from two South Korean newspapers - Chosun Ilbo and Hankyoreh were analyzed using the frame analysis method in five categories: industry/economy, globalization, cultural interest, criticism, and competition. The right-left opinion cleavage is important because news frames interact with official discourses, audience frames and prior knowledge which consequently mediate effects on public opinion, policy debates, social movement and individual interpretations. Whilst the existing literature on Gangnam Style took rather holistic approach, this study aimed to fill the lacuna, considering this phenomenon as a dynamic process, by segmenting different stages - recognition, spread, peak and continuation. Both newspapers acknowledged Gangnam Style was an epochal event but their perspectives and news frames were different; globalization frame was most frequently used in Chosun Ilbo whereas cultural interest frame was most often used in Hankyoreh. Although more critical approaches were found in Hankyoreh, reflecting the right-left opinion cleavage, both papers lacked in critical appraisal and analysis of Gangnam Style’s reception in a broader context of the new Korean Wave.

    DISCOURSES OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN SOUTH KOREA :DEMOCRATISATION IN AN EMERGING INFORMATION SOCIETY by HEE-JEONG LEE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology School of Government and Society College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham January 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT This thesis presents a late-Durkheimian theoretical framework on civil society as a sphere of solidarity and applies it to the development from modern society to an „information society‟. The framework is used to identify the cultural codes that exist in different information societies and to show their role in integrating or dividing the members of civil society. The framework is applied to South Korean civil society entering an information age coincident alongside processes of democratisation. Three policy debates relating to information are used as case studies to show the coexistence of, and conflicts between, a „developmental code‟ based on economic growth and anti-communism deriving from the authoritarian period of state-sponsored capitalism, and a later „democratic code‟ based on human rights.

  • Cancer News Coverage in Korean Newspapers: an Analytic Study in Terms of Cancer Awareness
    Journal of Original Article Preventive Medicine J Prev Med Public Health 2020;53:126-134 • https://doi.org/10.3961/jpmph.19.256 & Public Health pISSN 1975-8375 eISSN 2233-4521 Cancer News Coverage in Korean Newspapers: An Analytic Study in Terms of Cancer Awareness Hye Sook Min1, E Hwa Yun2, Jinsil Park2, Young Ae Kim2 1National Medical Center, Center for Public Healthcare Support, Seoul, Korea; 2National Cancer Control Institute, National Cancer Center, Goyang, Korea Objectives: Cancer diagnoses have a tremendous impact on individuals and communities, drawing intense public concern. The objec- tive of the current research was to examine news coverage and content related to cancer-related issues in Korean newspapers. Methods: Primarily using the database system of the Korea Press Foundation, we conducted a content analysis of 2806 articles from 9 Korean daily newspapers during a recent 3-year period from 2015 to 2017. Thematic categories, the types of articles, attitudes and tone, and the number of sources in each article were coded and classified. Results: Many news articles dealt with a diverse range of themes related to cancer, including general healthcare information, the lat- est research and development, specific medical institutions and personnel, and technology and products, which jointly accounted for 74.8% of all articles. Those thematic categories differed markedly in terms of article type, tone, and the number of cited sources. News articles provided extensive information about healthcare resources, and many articles seemed to contain advertising content. Howev- er, the content related to complex social issues such as National Health Insurance did not include enough information for the reader to contextualize the issues properly or present the issues systematically.
