Rain or shine, however, the preparations for AKSE activities continue. On 21 August, 2008 the Fifth Korean Studies Convention for Graduate Students in Europe will begin, this year to be held in Leiden. Originally this was not an AKSE activity, the graduate students themselves taking charge of the entire organisation together with local teachers. This will not radically change, but AKSE will every year at the end of July include a request for funding of the convention of the following year to the Korea Foundation in its request for other activities and when necessary encourage graduate students to organise a convention. This will facilitate the work of the graduate students who are organising next year’s conference and promote continuity. Preparations are also under way for the 2009 AKSE Biennial Conference in Leiden.

First, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my Chair, Professor Ho-min Sohn, for his intellectual guidance, enthusiasm, and constant encouragement. I feel very fortunate to have been under his tutelage and supervision. I also wish to thank his wife, Mrs. Sook-Hi Sohn samonim, whose kindness and generosity extended to all the graduate students, making each of us feel special and at home over the years. Among my committee members, I am particularly indebted to Professor Dong Jae Lee for continuing to serve on my committee even after his retirement. His thoughtfulness and sense of humor alleviated the concerns and the pressure I was under. Professor Mee Jeong Park always welcomed my questions and helped me organize my jumbled thoughts. Her support and reassurance, especially in times of self-doubt, have been true blessings. Professor Lourdes Ortega's invaluable comments since my MA days provided me with a clear direction and goal.

  • Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary
    Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary South Korean Cinema: Between the Universal and the Particular Seung Woo Ha A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the department of Media and Communications January 2013 1 DECLARATION I, Seung Woo Ha confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed……………………….. Date…..…10-Jan-2013……… 2 ABSTRACT The thesis analyses contemporary South Korean films from the late 1980s up to the present day. It asks whether Korean films have produced a new cinema, by critically examining the criteria by which Korean films are said to be new. Have Korean films really changed aesthetically? What are the limitations, and even pitfalls in contemporary Korean film aesthetics? If there appears to be a true radicalism in Korean films, under which conditions does it emerge? Which films convey its core features? To answer these questions, the study attempts to posit a universalising theory rather than making particular claims about Korean films. Where many other scholars have focused on the historical context of the film texts’ production and their reception, this thesis privileges the film texts themselves, by suggesting that whether those films are new or not will depend on a film text’s individual mode of address. To explore this problem further, this study draws on the concept of ‘concrete universality’ from a Lacanian/Žižekian standpoint. For my purpose, it refers to examining how a kind of disruptive element in a film text’s formal structure obtrudes into the diegetic reality, thus revealing a cinematic ‘distortion’ in the smooth running of reality.

  • South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation
    The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation By Jisung Catherine Kim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair Professor Mark Sandberg Professor Elaine Kim Fall 2013 The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation © 2013 by Jisung Catherine Kim Abstract The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation by Jisung Catherine Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair In The Intimacy of Distance, I reconceive the historical experience of capitalism’s globalization through the vantage point of South Korean cinema. According to world leaders’ discursive construction of South Korea, South Korea is a site of “progress” that proves the superiority of the free market capitalist system for “developing” the so-called “Third World.” Challenging this contention, my dissertation demonstrates how recent South Korean cinema made between 1998 and the first decade of the twenty-first century rearticulates South Korea as a site of economic disaster, ongoing historical trauma and what I call impassible “transmodernity” (compulsory capitalist restructuring alongside, and in conflict with, deep-seated tradition). Made during the first years after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the films under consideration here visualize the various dystopian social and economic changes attendant upon epidemic capitalist restructuring: social alienation, familial fragmentation, and widening economic division.

    KSCC2018 Helsinki - presentation abstracts All abstracts in order of the schedule Panel 1: Global audiences "Tailor-made Fest for Presenting the Value of Korean Cinema in London: Korean Film Night between 2012 and 2014" Sungil Ko (University Of Nottingham) This paper will investigate how the Korean Film Night (KFN), regular film showcase event, organised by Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) is promote Korean culture in London through a case study of KFN’s ‘three-year project’ starting in 2012. Within the context of cultural diplomacy, government-backed cultural centres (e.g. British Council, Institut Français) to promote their cultural aspects in overseas territories. Such agencies have also held regular film screening events as the platform of cultural exchange which enable audiences in foreign nations to experience different culture in their daily life. The KCCUK, which had organised the regular film showcase event (formerly called KFN) since 2008, presented a series of new programmes –‘The Year of 12 Directors’, ‘The Year of 4 Actors’ and ‘The Year of 4 Film Professionals’ - from 2012. This ‘three-year project’ was a new extension that played a cultural diplomatic role to present the value of Korean cinema and film culture. In order to achieve it, the new project was dedicated to particular Korean movie figures whereas previous KFN had simply displayed various genres of Korean cinema. In addition, this ‘three-year project’ increased the number of screenings every week, implemented certain practices, venue hiring outside KCCUK, and Q&A and Masterclasses. Regarding such change of programming concept, this paper argues that KFN’s ‘three-year project’ aims at presenting the quality of the Korean film industry by focusing on the unique savoir-faire of some of unnoticed key figures (like filmmakers, actors, etc.) by the British audience, but whose individual contribution has been primordial in making some Korean film famous internationally.

  • Lesbians in Japan and South Korea
    Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling EAST 4590 – Master’s Thesis in East Asian Studies African and Asian Studies 60 credits – spring 2012 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Master’s thesis, Elise Fylling © Elise Fylling 2012 Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling Academic supervisor: Vladimir Tikhonov http://www.duo.uio.no Printed by: Webergs Printshop Summary Lesbians in Japan and South Korea have long been ignored in both academic, and in social context. The assumption that there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea dominates a large population in these societies, because lesbians do not identify as such in the public domain. Instead they often live double lives showing one side of themselves to the public and another in private. Although there exist no formal laws against homosexuality, a social barrier in relation to coming out to one’s family, friends or co-workers is highly present. Shame, embarrassment and fear of being rejected as deviant or abnormal makes it difficult to step outside of the bonds put on by society’s hetero-normative structures. What is it like to be lesbian in contemporary Japan and South Korea? In my dissertation I look closely at the Japanese and South Korean society’s attitudes towards young lesbians, examining their experiences concerning identity, invisibility, family relations, the question of marriage and how they see themselves in society. I also touch upon how they meet others in spite of their invisibility as well as giving some insight to the way they chose to live their life.

  • Descriptive Study of Honorific Use in Korean Email Discourse
    Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 6 No. 1, July 2016, pp. 99-111 DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF HONORIFIC USE IN KOREAN EMAIL DISCOURSE Jaegu Kim Sekolah Pelita Harapan, Lippo Cikarang, Jakarta [email protected] First received: 22 March 2016 Final proof received: 13 July 2016 Abstract It is a relatively new field that examines how Korean culture affects Korean language use in terms of age difference in a corpus of computer mediated email discourse. The purpose of this descriptive study and experiment is to prove the close relationship between Korean language and culture. This paper shows the descriptive study of Korean culture in relation to language use. Korean culture acknowledges an inherent hierarchy with regard to age, and considers [+age] as relating socially to [+power]. When younger Koreans converse with older ones, they express different morpho-syntactic patterns, which is an age complex. The main task of the experiment was to examine the way through which the age complex is reflected by Korean honorific linguistic system in email discourse. I asked 15 Korean native speakers between the ages of 20 to 25 to write emails expressing an impositive request to [+age (46-50 years old)], [-age (below 25 years old)] and [=age] recipients. The results show significant differences in the use of grammatical features in emails written to [+age] recipients, as compared to emails written to [-age] and [=age] recipients. The implication of the findings is that the cultural values that are attached to age and aging in the Korean society affects Koreans’ language use, which means Korean language and culture are closely intermingled.

Nevada (244 -9530; this is not, however, my phone number) Hi! I am excited about this class. I taught it for the first time a year ago and look forward to the new and improved version! The films we will view together are feature films; they are not documentaries about South Korea -- rather they are films that were commercially distributed in South Korea over the years. This course has several related goals: (1) to learn something about post-colonial (1945-) South Korea with an emphasis on the present; (2) to learn something about post-colonial South Korean cinema; and (3) to consider what we can -- and how we can -- learn about any society through its feature films. Although I am not a film scholar by training (I am a social cultural anthropologist -- I will explain what that means), an integral part of this course is learning (together) how to watch, think about, and write about film; in the same way that we need to learn how to think about literature or art, so it is with film. To that end we will read selections from a film textbook. I welcome all students to this class including those with no prior knowledge of South Korea or exposure to South Korean film. Reaching me Email (see above) and office hours are best; I check email most every weekday.

Honorific Expression Culture Society Introduction The honorific is a special expression for expressing respect or politeness by changing the way to state the same thing, and is one of the treatment expressions. Expressions of respect can be expressed in any language, but not many languages have grammatical and lexical systematic expressions. Typical languages include Japanese, Korean, Javanese, Vietnamese, Tibetan, Bengali, and Tamil. In order for treatment expressions to become grammatically and lexically systematically form, not only the influence of the original language but also the need for various respect expressions from the social background have emerged as honorific expressions. it is conceivable that. For this reason, in this paper, Japanese is an isolated word, Korean is also an isolated word, Javanese is a Malay-Polynesian Sunda-Sulawesi group, and Pet-Muong is an Austro-Asian Mon-Khmer group.
