  • 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.

  • 1 Introduction
    As the Korean Ministry of Culture’s representative in London I have had the pleasure of overseeing the operations of the Korean Cultural Centre UK and its many offsite festivals since 2012. The cornerstone of these activities has long been the much anticipated annual London Korean Film Festival. With a small, dedicated team we have steered the festival to its 10th anniversary and now that it is upon us I am sure that you will agree we have prepared a programme that is our best yet. With 52 films at prime cinemas across London, this year we not only wel- come the best from Korea’s box office but also an opportunity to meet with the star actors Hwang Jung-min and Moon So-ri. The festival has always supported the works of lesser known individuals within the Korean film industry and I am pleased to see the inclusion of an Emerging Directors strand as well as the ever popular Mise-en-Scène shorts. We welcome back the strand selected by the Busan International Film Festival and celebrate our 10th anniversary with a selection of audience choice films from our last 10 years. It’s not just our film festival that celebrates an anniversary this year, we also have a stream dedi- cated to our festival partner CJ Entertainment that in 2015 marks its 20th year in film production. Add to this our family films, and of course the Classics Revisited, and you can see how this year’s festival has something for everyone. The festival, for the last 10 years has prided itself on its accessibility and interaction with audiences, and this year is no exception.

Jeong Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Jonathan Ritter Copyright by Jungwon Kim 2017 The Dissertation of Jungwon Kim is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements Without wonderful people who supported me throughout the course of my research, I would have been unable to finish this dissertation. I am deeply grateful to each of them. First, I want to express my most heartfelt gratitude to my advisor, Deborah Wong, who has been an amazing scholarly mentor as well as a model for living a humane life. Thanks to her encouragement in 2012, after I encountered her and gave her my portfolio at the SEM in New Orleans, I decided to pursue my doctorate at UCR in 2013. Thank you for continuously encouraging me to carry through my research project and earnestly giving me your critical advice and feedback on this dissertation. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to my dissertation committee members, Kelly Jeong, René Lysloff, and Jonathan Ritter. Through taking seminars and individual studies with these great faculty members at UCR, I gained my expertise in Korean studies, popular music studies, and ethnomusicology. Thank you for your essential and insightful suggestions on my work. My special acknowledgement goes to the Korean female K-pop fans who were willing to participate in my research.

Occasional Papers n°2 ABSTRACT Based on a scholarly literature review in French, English, and Korean, the paper discusses the South Korean October 2015 infatuation with luxury goods and cosmetic surgery. How did the transition to modernity transform the relationship of Korean women (and men) to their bodies and faces? What are the implications of these changes in the way society regards the use of cosmetics and luxury goods? The paper first takes stock of the obsession with aesthetic enhancement that characterizes Korean society today, before discussing the relationship of Korean women and their bodies within the cultural context of Korea, extremely competitive and organized by male dominance.

  • A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Korean Version of the PEERS
    RESEARCH ARTICLE A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Korean Version of the PEERS® Parent-Assisted Social Skills Training Program for Teens With ASD Hee-Jeong Yoo, Geonho Bahn, In-Hee Cho, Eun-Kyung Kim, Joo-Hyun Kim, Jung-Won Min, Won-Hye Lee, Jun-Seong Seo, Sang-Shin Jun, Guiyoung Bong, Soochurl Cho, Min-Sup Shin, Bung-Nyun Kim, Jae-Won Kim, Subin Park, and Elizabeth A. Laugeson Impaired social functioning is a hallmark feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often requiring treatment through- out the life span. PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) is a parent-assisted social skills training for teens with ASD. Although PEERS® has an established evidence base in improving the social skills of adolescents and young adults with ASD in North America, the efficacy of this treatment has yet to be established in cross-cultural validation trials. The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility and treatment efficacy of a Korean version of PEERS® for enhancing social skills through a randomized controlled trial (RCT).The English version of the PEERS® Treatment Manual (Laugeson & Frankel, 2010) was translated into Korean and reviewed by 21 child mental health professionals. Items identified as culturally sensitive were surveyed by 447 middle school students, and material was modified accordingly. Participants included 47 teens between 12 and 18 years of age with a diagnosis of ASD and a verbal intelligence quotient (IQ) ≥ 65. Eligible teens were randomly assigned to a treatment group (TG) or delayed treatment control group (CG). Primary outcome measures included questionnaires and direct observations quantifying social ability and problems directly related to ASD.
