  • The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011

    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.

  • Kanagaki Robun, Gesaku Rhetoric, and the Production of Early Meiji Literature

    Adjusting to the Times: Kanagaki Robun, Gesaku Rhetoric, and the Production of Early Meiji Literature Charles Woolley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 ©2016 Charles Woolley All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Adjusting to the Times: Kanagaki Robun, Gesaku Rhetoric, and the Production of Early Meiji Literature Charles Woolley This dissertation attempts a concomitant reexamination of two interrelated phenomena. Its primary undertaking is an analysis of mid-to-late nineteenth century gesaku commercial fiction production and its structural transformations during the first decades of the Meiji period, together with the imbrications of its narratological and rhetorical conventions with the language of reportage writing on the page of the Meiji newspaper. In conjunction with, and in order better to situate, the foregoing, its secondary task is to question the literary-historical emplotment of this period and its authors in the later 1920s, at the moment when Meiji literary history first emerges as an analytical object after the institutionalization of literature and journalism as discrete categories of discursive production. To such ends, this dissertation focuses on Kanagaki Robun (1829-1894), whose diverse career coincides what has come to be considered the transitional moment – and thereby recalcitrant to historiographical analysis not altogether fraught with ambivalence – intervening between the latter decades of the Tokugawa period and the ultimate establishment of Literature (bungaku) as an ideologically self-sufficient category of social value and discursive praxis by the first decades of the twentieth century. His survival in the annals of this later literary history proffers an occasion to reconsider the mechanisms involved in the arbitration of social, literary, and aesthetic value.

We hope that the conference and city will lead to discoveries that are intellectually stimulating and socially rewarding and that will satisfy your inner urban explorer. The Host Committee, co-chaired by Jennifer Bean and Kaveh Askari, have worked hard to provide an imaginative and engaging experience for conference goers who are coming to Seattle for the first time as well as for those who might be seasoned veterans. Thank you Jennifer and Kaveh! In addition to the conference’s offerings of panels and workshops, there are a number of other events during the confer- ence that we hope you will be able to attend. The Awards Ceremony is one of the most significant means SCMS has of formally recognizing the accomplishments of our colleagues in research, teaching, and service in the field each year. This year, the ceremony will be held on Friday, March 21st from 4:15 – 5:30 PM. All members are welcome—please plan to be there to join in the celebration. While I cannot mention all of the award winners here, I am happy to announce that Richard Abel has won the Distinguished Career Achievement Award.

    Article Online Collectivism, Individualism and Anonymity In

    Online Collectivism, Individualism and Article Anonymity in East Asia Kenneth Farrall Department of Media, Culture and Communication, New York University, USA. [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Anonymity on the Internet has come under increasing criticism as a threat to public civility and safety. This article draws data from related academic studies, trade press and mass media to examine recent variations in the salience, use, and comparative value of anonymity, and its tripartite relationship with individuality and collectivism, across three specific cultural contexts: China, South Korea, and Japan. While online anonymity in East Asia plays a role in affiliation and in acts of collective cognition, it is also valued as an individual privacy resource. We must be especially wary about assuming social systems might be better off, more secure, without it. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Entering the second decade of the 21st century, anonymity appears to be under siege. While targeted behavioral advertising continues to expand and personal information becomes increasingly commoditized, government officials around the globe warn us that true anonymity is in conflict with not only national security goals but also the very notion of civil discourse itself. Anonymous discourse is nasty and full of disinformation, it is increasingly said, and feeds the madness of crowds. Indeed, there appear to be growing questions about the continued viability of online anonymity going forward. Will anonymity turn out to be a relic of the 20th century or does it have a future? There is a wide range of approaches to anonymity across the world; some are parts of cultural tradition, while others seem more emergent, less bound by established norms.

  • Roman Imperialism and Runic Literacy

    Roman Imperialism and Runic Literacy

    Roman Imperialism and Runic Literacy The Westernization of Northern Europe (150-800 AD) Svante Fischer Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University Uppsala 2005 Abstract Fischer, Svante 2005. Roman Imperialism and Runic Literacy. The Westernization of North- ern Europe (150-800 AD). Aun 33. Uppsala. 260 pp., 28 illustrations. ISBN 91-506-1840-7. This dissertation discusses Roman imperialism and runic literacy. It employs an interdiscipli- nary terminology. By means of terms new to archaeology, the growth of a specialized lan- guage, a technolect, is traced until it enters the realm of literacy. The author argues that there is more than one way for literacy to appear in prehistoric cultures. The ’normal’ perception is that literacy grows out of a need to keep records of a growing economic surplus. The ’other’ way for a culture to become literacy is that someone else forces literacy upon it. This has been the case in many parts of the world subject to Western imperialism. The onslaught of Roman imperialism caused the invention of runic literacy in Northern Europe during the Early Ro- man Iron Age. The invention of the runic script should thus be seen as a pre-emptive reaction to the threat of Westernization. A comparison is made with a number of Early Modern Period cases of newly invented scripts caused by the arrival of literate westerners in West Africa. The invention and introduction of the runes may well have been a dictated shift in literacy, seeking to break away from Latin. A number of dictated shifts in literacy from Early Modern Period America and Modern Period Asia are studied in comparison.
