  • Filiation: a Historical Term the COVID-19 Outbreak Recalled in Turkey
    354 Erciyes Med J 2020; 42(3): 354–8 • DOI: 10.14744/etd.2020.54782 HISTORY OF MEDICINE – REVIEW – OPEN ACCESS This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. Filiation: A Historical Term the COVID-19 Outbreak Recalled in Turkey Türev Demirtaş1 , Halil Tekiner2 ABSTRACT Originally derived from the Medieval Latin word, fīliātiō (from fīlius, son), filiation literally means paternity, descent-from- father, or line of descent. Concerning medicine, however, it refers to the connection of things resulting from one another, or contact tracing. The core idea behind filiation as a measure of precaution against outbreaks is to prevent the disease by interrupting the chain of transmission with a systematical tracing and isolation of susceptible individuals having contact with any confirmed cases. Filiation became a widely used medical term in the first quarter of the 19th century, primarily in French medical literature, soon adapted to English and some other languages. In the Ottoman Empire, it appeared in medical journals in the 1850s, used primarily by some European physicians practicing in the country. As part of various measures that have been taken to tackle the current pandemic of COVID-19, the method of filiation was also recalled by the medical community. Soon after the observance of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Turkey on March 11, 2020, the index case and its contacts were identified and the Turkish Ministry of Health launched the procedures of filiation at a national level with ad-hoc medical teams established around the country. Aiming to shed light on the etymological and historical aspects of filiation, the current review discusses the concept based on original resources.

  • Transnational Koreans in Asian Pop Culture in the Pre-Korean Wave Era*
    Vol.17 No.3, 55∼83 DOI:10.20879/acr.2020.17.3.55 https://www.comm.or.kr Transnational Koreans in Asian Pop Culture in the Pre-Korean Wave Era* Doobo Shim** Professor, Department of Media and Communication, Sungshin Women’s University, South Korea 12 Abstract he Korean Wave, which refers to the overseas popularity of South Korean T culture, is moving toward a new stage of development. Seen in conjunction with the recent performances of K-pop bands on global music platforms, Korean film Parasite's winning four prizes at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020 has led commentators to argue that the whole world is now observing the Korean Wave phenomena. However, while the global rise of Korean pop culture has been documented continuously, most of the research has been centered around either Korean production or foreign consumption. Additionally, while the transnationality of popular culture has led academia to adopt the theory of hybridity, its application to the Korean Wave was largely limited to textual studies. Against this backdrop, this research will shed light on diasporic Korean artistes who have been largely forgotten either in Korea or in their resettled and adopted cultures. In particular, this study will zero in on Korean actors and filmmakers in Shanghai in the 1930s and the Korean-Hong Kongese film collaborations in the 1960s and inquire into their cultural meanings in inter-Asian popular culture. For one, Korean director Jeong Chang-hwa handed down his action film know-how to Hong Kong cinema, which would later become a global action film hub.
