According to Korean historian Pak Ch‟an-sŭng‟s account, the fight started when two male Japanese middle school students, Fukuda Shūzō and Matsuyoshi Katsunori, along with some of their friends, began harassing female Korean student Pak Ki-ok inside the train.1 Police records, newspaper articles, and eye-witness accounts concur that over the next several days, fights between Korean and Japanese students broke out every day on the trains to and from schools in the city of Kwangju, and in the train stations. When only Korean students were arrested and prosecuted by police for their involvement in the train and train-station brawls, local student groups organized a Kwangju-wide city protest on November 3, 1929. Korean students marched through the streets of Kwangju, fought with Japanese students and police, distributed anti-Japanese handbills, and, in certain instances, destroyed public property. Despite attempts by the Japanese colonial government to keep the protests from spreading, they were echoed by sympathetic protests in other schools in the region surrounding Kwangju and in other regions and lasted until March of the following year. Historians now estimate that over the course of the next several months, approximately 54,000 students from a total of 194 1 Pak Ch‟an-sŭng, Chŏnnam chibang ŭi sam-il undong kwa Kwangju haksaeng tongnip undong [The Southern Chŏlla region‟s March First Movement and the Kwangju Student Independence Movement], Chŏnam sahak [Southern Chŏlla Sociology], 9:0 (1995): 395- 396. 1 schools across the Korean peninsula participated in anti-Japanese student protests, resulting in prison terms for more than180 students in Kwangju alone.2 The student uprisings that began in Kwangju became the second-largest peninsula-wide anti-Japanese protests of the colonial period, second only to the March First Movement, which began ten years earlier on March 1, 1919. In this dissertation, I combine memoir and oral history with colonial-era documentation, such as Japanese government records and newspaper articles, to explicate the ways in which colonial Korean public protest was undertaken, narrated, and remembered by differently-positioned participants and observers. First of all, I connect tensions on the ground in southwestern Korea to larger trends in the Japanese empire as a whole, such as the emerging popularity of Marxist thought, and increased empire-wide mobility between the colonies and the metropole. The ways in which student groups formed and met in secret, the circumstances in which the initial fights broke out and the mechanisms by which protests triggered by a small scuffle between students on a train expanded into a nationwide movement, for example, all reflected the enormous transformation in public space in Korea created by new Japanese colonial practices. These practices, such as new and modern city planning, road building, school construction, and the laying of train tracks, profoundly influenced the face of public protest on the Korean peninsula. At the same time, the appropriation of public space that was central to the Kwangju student movement forced Japanese settlers and officials alike to confront and renegotiate the limits of their spheres of colonial social control. Second of all, I focus on how the Kwangju students themselves, through their own writings and in oral interviews, conceived of their identities both as Koreans and as 2 Ibid., 405. 2 Japanese colonial subjects. By 1929, the school system had begun to produce a large number of elite, highly-qualified graduates who were unable to find jobs commensurate with their skills and education level, who found themselves caught in the contradictions of a newly emerging colonial modernity. These graduates, especially those who had traveled to and spent significant time in Japan, were thus returning to their hometowns in places like Kwangju alienated and eager to organize students to rebel against what they saw as a fundamentally discriminatory system. The content of student protest manifestoes and other extant documentation reveals that the independent Korea that protesting students were fighting for was at times a fluid entity, a goal that was flexible enough to accommodate within it a range of subjectivities, ideas and objectives. I analyze the discursive metaphors by which student protesters chose

  • Korea: from Hermit Kingdom to Colony
    WORLD HISTORY: 1750–1914 KOREA From Hermit Kingdom to Colony By MiChael J. seth the World encroaches on the hermit Kingdom At the end of the eighteenth century, Korea was a land with more than a millen- nium of political unity, proud of its rigid adherence to Confucian cultural norms, and at peace with its neighbors. Under the reigns of two able kings, Yŏngjo (1724– 1776) and Chŏngjo (1776–1800), Korea prospered. In the nineteenth century, however, the state entered a period when weak kings were dominated by power- ful clans related to the monarch through royal marriages. Some historians see this as a sign that Korea was entering a decline after 1800. There was an uprising in the northwest in 1811–1812, a rice riot in Seoul in 1833, and some small scale peas- ant uprisings in the countryside, mainly aimed at local officials. Yet, its political and social institutions appeared quite stable. The social and economic domination of the country by the hereditary yangban elite (the high- est social class of Korea during the Chosŏn dynasty, 1392–1910), who competed for government office by taking the civil service exams, was secure. There was a Korea, the ”Hermit Kingdom.“ 1904.

The number of famines appears to have declined after 1750. Traditional arts and letters flourished well into the nineteenth century. A number of scholars, later called the Sirhak, or Practical Learning faction, were actively examining political, economic, and social issues.

  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

    THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Amy Beth Levine May 2011 © 2011 Amy Beth Levine THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA Amy Beth Levine, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation demonstrates how the urgent condition of crisis is routine for many non-governmental (NGO) and non-profit organization (NPO) workers, activists, lawyers, social movement analysts, social designers and ethnographers. The study makes a contribution to the increasing number of anthropological, legal, pedagogical, philosophical, political, and socio-legal studies concerned with pragmatism and hope by approaching crisis as ground, hope as figure, and pragmatism as transition or placeholder between them. In effect this work makes evident the agency of the past in the apprehension of the present, whose complexity is conceptualized as scale, in order to hopefully refigure ethnography’s future role as an anticipatory process rather than a pragmatic response to crisis or an always already emergent world. This dissertation is based on over two years of fieldwork inside NGOs, NPOs, and think tanks, hundreds of conversations, over a hundred interviews, and archival research in Seoul, South Korea. The transformation of the “386 generation” and Roh Moo Hyun’s presidency from 2003 to 2008 serve as both the contextual background and central figures of the study. This work replicates the historical, contemporary, and anticipated transitions of my informants by responding to the problem of agency inherent in crisis with a sense of scale and a rescaling of agency.

We also thank Chiyuki Ito for valuable comments and help with the data. 1 The Lexical Accent of Surnames in Kyengsang Korean: A Study in Analogy Article The canonical Korean personal name consists of a monosyllabic surname followed by a disyllabic given name: Kim, Yuna. Both the surname and the given name are drawn from the Sino-Korean sector of the lexicon. Unlike in Japanese, the Korean surname is not generally used alone and must be combined with a given name or title. This study examines the behavior of Kyengsang dialect speakers when they are asked to parse out the surname and inflect it on its own. In particular, we were interested to know which of the three inflectional accent types that are available for a monosyllable would be chosen for a particular surname: H-H, H-L, R ≈ L-H for the South Kyengsang dialect, and H-H, H-L, H:- H for the North Kyengsang dialect. Our principal finding is that southern speakers merge the R≈L-H category of surnames with H-L while the northern speaker keeps the three classes distinct.

Japan established a replica of the Japanese bureaucracy, police, education, and Oxford University judicial system in two colonies but pursued contrasting domestic colonial policies in the degree of exploitation and assimilation. While the colonial policies in Korea were more abrupt and aggressive, those in Taiwan were accredited by more cooperative and mutually beneficial features. Such different ruling approaches resulted in the varying levels and political orientations of nationalist movements toward the Japanese colonial rule. Koreans had a much stronger sense of anti-Japanese prejudices and the nationalist resistance per-sisted throughout the whole colonial period. Taiwanese, on the other hand, adopted a more compliant course and kept their goals moderate enough to avoid open confrontation with the colonial government. This paper examines the reasons for such homogene-ity as well as diversity in the ways Japan ruled its colonies through a comparative study of nationalist movements in Korea and Tai-wan.
