  • Cultural Heritage in Korea – from a Japanese Perspective Toshio Asakura National Museum of Ethnology
    Cultural heritage in Korea – from a Japanese perspective Toshio Asakura National Museum of Ethnology Introduction The Korean television drama Dae Jang-geum has been popular not only in Korea but also throughout East Asia, including in Japan, Taiwan and China. It is based on the true story of Jang-geum, the reputedly first woman to hold the position of royal physician in the 16th-century during the Joseon Dynasty (1392−1897). What is interesting about the drama from a perspective of cultural her- itage is that it serves to highlight traditional Korean culture, espe- cially Korean court cuisine and medicine. How to cite this book chapter: Asakura, T 2016 Cultural heritage in Korea – from a Japanese perspective. In: Matsuda, A and Mengoni, L E (eds.)

License: CC-BY 4.0 104 Reconsidering Cultural Heritage in East Asia I was in charge of supervising the Japanese-language version of this show, and one of the most challenging, yet interesting, aspects of my task was to work out how to translate Korean culture to a Japanese audience.1 By referring to this drama, which was part of the so-called ‘Korean wave’ (hanryû), I will investigate the circum- stances surrounding three aspects of cultural heritage in Korea: culinary culture; Living National Treasures (i.e. holders of Impor- tant Intangible Cultural Properties); and cultural landscapes. Japan and Korea are said to share broadly similar cultural heritage, including amongst other things the influence of Chinese culture, as exemplified by the spoken language and script, and the influence of Confucianism.

    Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination UNCRC Alternative Report to the 5th Periodic Report for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) September 2017 Submitted by People for Successful COrean REunification (PSCORE) Table of Contents Summary/Objective 2 Methodology 3 “Free” Education 4 Unchecked and Unmonitored: Physical Abuse in Schools 6 Forced Manual Labor during School 7 Mandatory Collections 8 Ideology and Education 9 Recommendation 12 References 13 1 Summary/Objective The goal of this report is for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to strongly consider the DPRK’s deplorable educational system at the 76th Pre-Sessional Working Group. A great number of reprehensible offenses have been committed by the DPRK against children’s education. Falsely advertised “free” education, unchecked corporal punishment and abuse in school, and forced manual labor in place of time in the classroom are the most notable, and will all be detailed in this report. But the most severe injustice is the content of the DPRK’s education, which is all geared to either overtly or covertly instill fear and hate into the minds of the state’s youngest and most impressionable minds. Education in the DPRK is filled with historical distortion and manipulative teachings that serve the state’s rulers, instilling a reverence for the DPRK’s government and leaders and a hatred toward any people or ideas that are not in alignment with the government’s. Education should be truthful and promote the values of peace, tolerance, equality, and understanding (General Comment No. 1, Article 29).

  • £SOUTH KOREA @Imprisoned Writer Hwang Sok-Yong
    £SOUTH KOREA @Imprisoned writer Hwang Sok-yong Hwang Sok-yong, a 50-year-old writer from South Korea, is one of many prisoners who have been arrested and imprisoned under the National Security Law for the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and association. Amnesty International has adopted him as a prisoner of conscience and his calling for his immediate and unconditional release. Amnesty International has long campaigned for the amendment of the National Security Law which punishes "anti-state" (pro-North Korean) activities. The loose definition of "anti-state" activities and other provisions of this law means that it may easily be abused by the authorities. In fact, it has been often used to imprison people who visited North Korea without government permission or met north Koreans or alleged agents abroad, people who held socialist views or whose views were considered similar to those of the North Korean Government. Background about Hwang Sok-yong Hwang Sok-yong is a well-known and popular writer who has written over 20 novels and essays. Many have been translated and published in Japan, China, Germany and France and two have also been published in North Korea. His best-known work is a 10 volume epic called Jangkilsan which was completed in 1984. It has sold over three million copies in South Korea and remains a best seller today. Hwang Sok-yong has written numerous short stories and essays including The Shadow of Arms (on the Vietnam War) and Strange Land (an anthology of short works). He has received several literary awards.

English-only policies are often seen as xenophobic and discriminatory. However, that may not be the case for South Korea’s Framework Act on Korean Language, which mandates the use of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, for official documents by government institutions. Despite the resemblance between the Framework Act on Korean Language and English-only policies, the Framework Act should be understood differently than English-only policies because the Hangeul-only movement has an inverse history to English-only movements.

  • 6 Korean Dialects: a General Survey
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online Chapter 6: Korean Dialects 6 Korean dialects: a general survey Jaehoon Yeon 6.1 Introduction The Korean language is relatively homogeneous and the dialects from different areas can be mutually intelligible to a great extent. Nevertheless, the dialects of Korean exhibit considerable variety in phonology, morphology, and vocabulary. They are finely differentiated into a number of areas based on regional differences. There is no obvious correlation between the modern dialects and the ancient historical divisions of Korea, i.e. the Three Kingdom period. Silla and Paekche roughly coincide with the current southeastern dialect and southwestern dialect respectively, but northeastern, northwestern, central, and Cheju dialects cannot be correlated with any one ancient historical kingdom in Korea. Since Korea is mountainous, the language is quite naturally divided finely into different dialects according to topography. Most scholars seem to agree on six major dialectal zones based roughly on different geographical regions: (1) The northwestern dialects (P‟yŏngan province) (2) The northeastern dialects (Hamgyŏng province) (3) The central dialects (including Kyŏnggi, Hwanghae, Kangwon and Ch‟ungch‟ŏng provinces) (4) The southwestern dialects (Chŏlla province) (5) The southeastern dialects (Kyŏngsang province) (6) Cheju dialect (Cheju island) The dialect used by the Korean community in the Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture of China in Manchuria can be included in the Hamgyŏng dialects because their mutual similarity is due to the early immigration of Hamgyŏng people to that area and their subsequent linguistic contact. The language spoken by Koreans in Central Asia, i.e.

    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR EAST ASIA POLICY STUDIES THE ROK’S CHINA POLICY UNDER PARK GEUN-HYE: A NEW MODEL OF ROK-PRC RELATIONS Jaeho Hwang CEAP Visiting Fellow, Korea, Autumn 2013 August 2014 THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington D.C. 20036-2188 Tel: (202)797-6000 Fax: (202)797-2485 http://www.brookings.edu The ROK’s China policy under Park Geun-hye: A New Model of ROK-PRC Relations (Xinxing Hanzhong Guanxi)1 I. Introduction From June 27-30, 2013, South Korean President Park Geun-hye made an official state visit to China. It was a “trip of heart and trust” (sim shin ji ryoe in Korean or xin xin zhi ru in Chinese). Korea and China publically announced that they would reinforce a bilateral strategic cooperative partnership. The anticipation of the development in the relationship between the two countries by their leaders and people has increased. During the Lee Myung-bak Administration, if ROK-US relations was seen to be at its peak, ROK-China relations was at its lowest. Although the mutual good feelings between President Park and Chinese President Xi Jinping played a significant role, at the time, the ROK-China relationship was at rock bottom and therefore, it was only bound to improve.2 Since then, there are those that have voiced concern over the need to choose between the U.S. and China. On the other hand, there are also those who have expressed that rather than having several unstable and uncertain insurance plans, it is better to have one solid insurance plan; that is, the ROK-US alliance.3 Although the concurrent growth of the ROK-China and ROK-US relationship is Korea’s only answer at the moment, it is definitely not an easy task.

Brown Michael Forman Dong Jae Lee © Copyright 2002 by JihaHwang ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout my studies at the University of Hawai'i, I benefited immensely from stimulation provided by the faculty and students, not only in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, but also in the Department of Second Language Studies and the Department ofLinguistics. To all ofthem, I would like to say a collective thank you. There are a few people to whom I would like to express particular gratitude, however. To Dr. Ho Min Sohn, who not only served as my dissertation advisor, but who has been a valuable mentor and a source ofpsychological support throughout my doctoral program and while I was completing the dissertation. To Dr. Dong Jae Lee, whose warm heart, good advice and ceaseless efforts on behalf of students has not only been of great personal support to me, but a source of inspiration in my own professional development and a model which I hope to emulate. To Marilyn Plumlee, without whose help this dissertation would not be here. She was not merely an English proofreader. As a colleague and as a friend, she constantly raised highly provocative questions which helped me to think over again and again what I was trying to do.
