Korea-related media are often hidden in libraries and private collection around the world. In late 2011, the ANU’s Postgraduate 17 Korea Institute created an online media library with the vision of Students overcoming problems of accessibility and cost sometimes associated with sourcing maps and images of Korea.

Changes have been made to the website in order to follow up on very helpful comments from the Academy of Korean Studies and the international Korean studies community. Feedback and contributions are warmly welcomed. If you would like to contribute to the online media library, please contact the ANU Korea Institute. 1 ANU Korea Institute Director’s Foreword Director’s Foreword Professor Hyaeweol Choi 2015-2016 has been a very productive year for the Korea Institute and its affiliates. We have hosted a series of public lectures and international conferences, and our affiliated faculty and students have had significant accomplishments over the past year. We are in the final year of the five-year grant (2011-2016) from the Academy of Korean Studies as a Core University Program of Korean Studies. Thanks to this generous grant, the ANU Korea Institute has been able to take numerous initiatives in research, teaching and outreach under the broad theme of “transnational humanities in Korean Studies.” The focus on transnationality aimed to take advantage of the unique position ANU holds in regard to Asian studies with its location in the region and the world-class expertise it attracts. In the AKS project, our first and foremost important goal has been to train and mentor undergraduate and postgraduate students. The grant has enabled us to create new courses for our undergraduate curriculum. It has also funded scholarships for two PhD students and four MA/MPhil students. The research topics of these scholarship recipients are very diverse, ranging from North Korea diaspora in Northeast Asia and the role of transpacific network in Korean democracy movements in the 1970s to organic farming movements in South Korea, English language education and 16th century literati culture and writing. The AKS project has also supported four ongoing research projects that are transnational in scope and transdisciplinary in method. They include: ‘A New Modern History of Women in Korea: A Transnational Approach’; ‘Grassroots Cross-Border Cooperation in Northeast Asia: Korea’s Role as a Network Hub’; ‘The Man in the Middle: The Korean Wave and Masculinities in China’; and ‘Red Love in the Global 1930s.’ These research projects have yielded a number of book publications and journal articles and helped the Institute and its affiliates build a scholarly network that goes beyond Korean studies. I’d like to make a special note on the creation and development of the Media Library, which was another core component of the AKS project. Proposed and developed by Roald Maliangkay, the Media Library is an online archive with a vast collection of images of Korea, some quite rare. It is available world-wide as a resource for teaching and research. This will be a lasting legacy from the grant. The site will continue to be open as a repository that is continually enriched with more images and other media, and we believe it will be of tremendous value not only for students and scholars but also for anyone who is interested in Korean history, society and culture. The AKS grant has also provided us with the funding to hold six international conferences, thirty nine public lectures to date, and an artist-in-residence program that hosted practitioners and performers from a variety of arts. The events that the AKS grant supported offered fascinating and compelling insights that have greatly enriched the mind and heart of the ANU community. On behalf of the members of the ANU and the Korea Institute, I would like to thank all of the visiting scholars and artists who shared their research and creative works and provided invaluable mentoring to our students. Finally, but not least, I would like to thank the AKS project members, Roald Maliangkay, Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Ruth Barraclough, Geng Song, Daniel Chua, Catherine Hallett, and Orion Lethbridge. Their dedication, collegiality and wisdom have made the period of the grant a wonderfully productive, exciting and enjoyable time to be engaged in Korean Studies at ANU. 2 2015 -2016 ANU Korea Institute Events ‘My Love, Don’t Cross That River’ Special screening and Q&A with Director Moyoung Jin On Saturday 1 August 2015, the Korea Institute hosted Moyoung Jin for a special screening of the moving and award-winning documentary ‘My Love, Don’t Cross That River’ (Nim-a, keu kangeul keonneojimao). The documentary follows a year in the lives of Jo Byeong-man and Kang Kye-yeol, a couple living in rural South Korea who had been married for 76 years. The screening was followed by a Q&A session; a unique opportunity for audiences to get up close and personal with the film’s creator. This film set a new record for highest-grossing documentary at the Korean box office, and captivated the hearts of international audiences, winning the Audience Award at the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival, and Best Independent Film at the 6th KOFRA Film Awards in 2014, and the Documentary Award at the 21st Los Angeles Film Festival in 2015, among many other nominations. In Australia in 2015, it screened at the Sydney Film Festival, the Melbourne International Film Festival, and ANU. Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind On 22 July 2015, the Korea Institute hosted the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind for a beautiful and inspiring performance at Llewelyn Hall in the ANU School of Music. King Sejong reigned from 1418-1450, and is regarded as one of the greatest kings in Korean history. In the time of King Sejong, as members of the Court Music Institute, blind musicians held official posts and performed for various court ceremonies and rituals. This tradition continued until the end of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897). Seeking to revive it, the Siloam Centre for the Blind founded the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind with support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea in 2011. The orchestra has performed in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea and now Australia. The performance included Korean traditional court music, folk music and creative music performance. 3 2015-2016 ANU Korea Institute Events Culture and Everyday Life in North Korea Co-sponsored by Columbia University The Culture and Everyday Life in North Korea Conference was hosted by the ANU Korea Institute, and co-sponsored by the Centre for Korean Research at Columbia University. Building upon a 2014 workshop at Columbia University, this meeting was an international gathering of scholars who work on North Korean history, culture and everyday life. Each participant’s research drew upon a particular archive – film libraries, Soviet archives, magazine issues, captured documents, literary works, architectural history and the built environment, memoirs and autobiographies – to furnish the project with a wide-ranging collection of sources and settings within which to approach the study of North Korean culture and society. The aim was to creative a highly interactive space that allowed participants to circulate their work as discussion pieces, and closely engage with different approaches to the study of and writing about North Korea. In the first session, Fashioning New Women, Dr Dima Mironenko (Yale University, pictured left) considered the ways in which North Korean women were treated by official discourse in North Korea in the 1960s. Professor Hyaeweol Choi joined him as discussant (bottom left). In the second session, Dr Cheehyung Harrison Kim (University of Missouri, pictured right) presented War Orphans, Capitalist Family, and Postwar North Korea’s State Form as Exchange, joined by Dr Yasuko Kobayashi (ANU, bottom right) as discussant. In the third session, Postmodern Pyongyang: North Korea’s Transformation through its Changing Built Environment, Professor Charles Armstrong (Columbia University, pictured left) examined the visual transformation of North Korea’s capital city . Professor Tessa Morris-Suzuki (ANU, bottom left) joined him as discussant. Dr Ruth Barraclough (bottom centre) then presented Banishment in the Soviet Republics: Vera Khan, the story of the life of an international socialist reformer, with Dr Ksenia Chizhova (ANU, bottom right) as discussant.

    1–25 NOVEMBER LONSM_350_ .pdf 1 2018. 8. 22. �� 8:48 It is my pleasure to introduce to you the 13th instalment of the London Korean Film Festival, our annual celebration of Korean Film in all its forms. Since 2006, the Korean Cultural Centre UK has presented the festival with two simple goals, namely to be the most inclusive festival of national cinema anywhere and to always improve on where we left off. As part of this goal Daily to Seoul and Beyond for greater inclusivity, in 2016 the main direction of the festival was tweaked to allow a broader, more diverse range of Korean films to be shown. With special themes exploring different subjects, the popular strands covering everything from box office hits to Korean classics, as well as monthly teaser screenings, the festival has continued to find new audiences for Korean cinema. This year the festival once again works with critics, academics and visiting programmers on each strand of the festival and has partnered with several university film departments as well. At the time of writing, this year’s festival will screen upwards of 55 films, with a special focus entitled ‘A Slice of Everyday Life’. This will include the opening and closing films, Microhabitat by Jeon Go-woon, and The Return by Malene Choi. C ‘A Slice of Everyday Life’ explores valuable snapshots of the sometimes-ignored M lives of ordinary Koreans, often fragile individuals on the edge of society. One Y will also see director Lee Myung-se's films in the Contemporary Classics strand and Park Kiyong's films in the Indie Firepower strand.

  • Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 India’s Real Fiction Meets World’s Popular Cinema - Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A Sreenivas Andoju Dept. of English, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India Dr. Suneetha Yadav Dept. of English, Rajiv Gandhi Memorial College of Engineering & Technology, Nandyal, Kurnool, India Abstract The Indian Foreign Services (IFS) official Vikas Swarup penned “Q & A”, a work of fiction that portrayed the ground realities of Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai. A few years later Danny Boyle adapted the book and created an improbable yet scintillating success making it the best British film of that decade which portrayed Dharavi’s rooftops in the most cinematic technique possible. In this context, this research paper attempts to explore and analyse critically, the purpose and the socio-political connotations such adaptation reverberated by an all new portrayal of Indian story on the celluloid both for the local and global audiences. Amitabh Bachchan commented on Slumdog Millionaire that "if the film projects India as Third World's dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations." “(Times of India & The Guardian, 2009) So, what could be the hidden purpose behind such portrayal by Danny Boyle and How were the Indian reactions spoken or otherwise and why? are a few issues that are intended to explore and present in this paper. Keywords: Popularity, Reality, Fiction, Adaptation. Introduction A work of fiction be it a novel or a film is boundary less but when it is viewed from social or political perspectives, there needs a critical debate and clarity.
