  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • From Liaodongese Refugee to Ming Loyalist: the Historiography of the Sanggok Ma, a Ming Migrant Descent Group in Late Joseon Korea
    Articles From Liaodongese Refugee to Ming Loyalist: The Historiography of the Sanggok Ma, a Ming Migrant Descent Group in Late Joseon Korea Adam Bohnet The Review of Korean Studies Volume 15 Number 1 (June 2012): 109-139 ©2012 by the Academy of Korean Studies. All rights reserved. 110 The Review of Korean Studies Introduction During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Joseon1 Korea (1392- 1910), biographies were written of Ming migrants who had entered Joseon as deserters from the Ming armies during the 1592-1598 Imjin War or as refugees who fled to Joseon in the decade following the 1618 commencement of the Manchu invasion of Liaodong and Liaoxi. Despite the fact that these migrants were not welcomed at the time by the Joseon court, they were declared by the Joseon court in the eighteenth century to be Ming loyalists who had fled to Joseon to escape the Manchu Qing. As such, during the reigns of Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800) and Sunjo (r. 1800-1834), they were provided with hagiographic biographies which were anthologized in collections official and unofficial, in which these deserters and refugees were declared exemplars of the Ming loyalism that had become part of the official narrative of the Joseon court. At the same time, the descendants of these migrants were raised from their relatively humble “submitting-foreigner” status to the much more prestigious “imperial subject” status. This in turn brought the possibility of positions in the military bureaucracy and a role in court-sponsored Ming loyalist rituals. Biography, as a branch of history, has been attracting renewed interest, as is attested by a recent round-table published in the American Historical Review.

  • Joseon Mummies Before Mummy Studies Began in Korea
    Papers on Anthropology XXIII/1, 2014, pp. 135–151 JOSEON MUMMY STUDIES IN KOREA M. K. Song, D. H. Shin JOSEON MUMMIES BEFORE MUMMY STUDIES BEGAN IN KOREA Mi Kyung Song1, Dong Hoon Shin2 1 Department of Clothing Science, Seoul Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea 2 Department of Anatomy, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea ABSTRACT Mummy studies in Korea are instrumental in reconstructing the health and disease status of pre-modern Joseon peoples using firm scientific evidence. However, this scientific approach to such investigations in Korea is a relatively new discipline which began only within the last decade. Previous studies on Joseon tombs and their contents were performed exclusively by dress histo- rians because most of the artefacts recoverable from Joseon tombs were tex- tiles. In this report, we examine some of the excavation records left by dress historians in order to elucidate the approximate number and preservation status of Korean mummies discovered prior to the advent of their scientific investigation. Keywords: Korea, mummy, mummy studies, Joseon Dynasty, clothing, history INTRODUCTION Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910 CE) mummies are an essential resource for the scientifi c study of the health and disease statuses of pre-modern Korean peo- ple. Although the exact mechanisms of mummifi cation is still not completely understood, it occurred over the course of several hundred years of burial in a specifi c type of tomb encapsulated by a lime-soil mixture barrier (the LSMB tomb). Considering the lack of any formalized embalming techniques practiced during the Joseon period, the relatively high state of preservation of most of the mummies is surprising (17).

That is why we decided to plan another virtual Nathan Bowen, composer, Professor at Moorpark electroacoustic music festival for this year. Last year, College (http://nb23.com/blog/) after having planned a live festival, we had to cancel it and put on everything virtually; this year, we planned to George Brunner, composer, Director of Music go virtual from the start. We hope to be able to resume Technology, Brooklyn College C.U.N.Y. our live concerts in 2022. Daniel Fine, composer, New York City The limitations of a virtual festival meant that we could plan only to do events that could be done through the Travis Garrison, composer, Music Technology faculty at internet. Only stereo music could be played, and only the University of Central Missouri online installations could work. Paper sessions and (http://www.travisgarrison.com) workshops could be done through applications like zoom. We hope to be able to do all of these things in Doug Geers, composer, Professor of Music at Brooklyn person next year, and to resume concerts in full surround College sound.

    Haven of Nature : Korea DMZ - European Green Belt Introduction An irony of history retro-revolving with the primitive life The scientific development has been enhancing human beings’ life on average, but it has also cast a dark shadow on its hidden side: disruption and destruction of natural ecosystem. The world’s ecosystem in general has been exposed to a variety of pollutants. Fortunately, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the Korean peninsula is the sole area where ecosystem has been recovering. Therefore, the ecosystem of the DMZ is our asset that will shine more in the future. One heartbreaking fact is that its unique value is the result of the fratricidal Korean War. Ironically enough, the horrible war symbolizing “destruction” presented us a seed of hope: the DMZ, a painful belt of the Korean peninsula. The sharp confrontation and conlict still exist between North and South Korea. However, much of the vestige of the war symbolized by the DMZ are gone as the history continues since the end of the war. Instead, “ecological value of the future” has been illing up and it will continue to do so. Accordingly, this guidebook will cover “ecological value” of the DMZ, an asset that we should preserve and take pride in in the future. You will observe the beautiful natural environment of the DMZ, a variety of birds, animals and plants that inhabit there as well as the DMZ—a wetland and geopark. It is not enough to put the wonderful provision of nature and landscape of the DMZ in this guidebook. But we hope that it would encourage you to think of the ecological value of the DMZ once again.

  • Translocation of an Endangered Endemic Korean Treefrog Dryophytes Suweonensis
    A. Borzée, Y.-I. Kim, Y.-E. Kim & Y. Jang / Conservation Evidence (2018) 15, 6-11 Translocation of an endangered endemic Korean treefrog Dryophytes suweonensis Amaël Borzée1,2, Ye Inn Kim2, Ye Eun Kim2* & Yikweon Jang2,3*. 1 Laboratory of Behavioral Ecology and Evolution, School of Biological Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul, 08826, Republic of Korea 2 Department of Life Sciences and Division of EcoScience, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, 03760, Republic of Korea 3 Interdisciplinary Program of EcoCreative, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, 03760, Republic of Korea SUMMARY Endangered species in heavily modified landscapes may be vulnerable to extinction if no conservation plan is implemented. The Suweon treefrog Dryophytes suweonensis is an endemic endangered species from the Korean Peninsula. In an attempt to conserve the species, a translocation plan was implemented in the city of Suwon. The receptor site was a specially modified island in a reservoir. Egg clutches were collected from four nearby sites, and were hatched and reared in a laboratory during 2015. One hundred and fifty froglets were released at the new site. In 2016, one year after the translocation, calling male D. suweonensis, and newly hatched tadpoles and juveniles were recorded. Juveniles were seen until the last week before hibernation in autumn 2016. However, only a single male was recorded calling in 2017. The population was consequently considered functionally extinct. Failure of the translocation most likely arose from mismanagement of the vegetation surrounding the wetlands, and the resulting inability of the site to fulfil the ecological requirements of the species. The project allowed the development of rearing protocols for the species, and defined its ecological requirements.

  • DONGUIBOGAM Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine
    DONGUIBOGAM Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine PART A ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1. SUMMARY Donguibogam (hereinafter referred to as“ Bogam”), literally meaning“ Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine”, is an encyclopedic bible of medical knowledge and treatment techniques compiled in Korea in 1613. It is edited by Heo Jun under the collective support of medical experts and literati according to the royal instruction. The state initiated the synthesis of various medical knowledge and also the setting up and implementation of an innovative public health programme for the common people. In medical respect, Bogam successfully synthesized competing contemporary theories of medicine that had accumulated in East Asia for two millennia and went on to integrate medical knowledge and clinical experiences together in a single collection of volumes. The work informs the evolution of medicine in East Asia and beyond. In terms of health care system, it developed the ideals of“ preventive medicine”and “public health care by the state,”which was virtually an unprecedented idea up to the 19th century. Thus, it stands for the historical development of the knowledge and skills of medicine in East Asia and further reflects the human footprints of world medicine and culture. As such, the significance and importance of Bogam is incomparable to anything in the world. 1) Bogam is the first-ever comprehensive book on medical principles and practice edited and distributed nationwide, according to the innovative order by state to proclaim the ideals of public health by the state and preventive medicine. Bogam is significant in that the state took the pioneering initiative to proclaim itself as early as in the 17th century to be responsible for public health.

Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Korean can be transcribed in two different scripts, one alphabetic (Hangul) and one logographic (Hanja). How does the mental lexicon represent the contributions of multiple scripts? Hangul’s highly transparent one-to-one relationship between spellings and sounds creates homophones in spoken Korean that are also homographs in Hangul, which can only be disambiguated through Hanja. We thus tested whether native speakers encoded the semantic contributions of the different Hanja characters sharing the same homographic form in Hangul in their mental representation of Sino-Korean.
