The writing of this dissertation has been one of the most significant academic challenges I have ever had to face due to my multiple responsibilities. I would like to acknowledge the names of certain people who helped me to complete this work. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Bonnie Miller-McLemore. I would never have been able to finish my dissertation without her support, understanding, patience, and guidance for undertaking my research project. The joy and enthusiasm she has for her research, which led me to apply for Vanderbilt University, was contagious and motivational for me, even during tough times in the Ph.D. pursuit. Her thoughtful feedback and constructive criticism on my work has made my work stronger. I am thankful for the excellent example she has provided as a great theologian and parent. I also want to thank my dissertation committee---Dr. Ellen Armour, Dr. Andre Christie-Mizell, Dr. Graham Reside, and Dr. Bruce Rogers-Vaughn---for their willingness to join me in seeing this project through to completion. I appreciate their time, interest, and helpful comments. The Theology and Practice Program (T&P) has contributed immensely to my personal and professional time at Vanderbilt. T & P generously offered me a full tuition scholarship and stipends throughout my academic study and financial support for my externship teaching as a Lily Faculty Fellow at New Brunswick Theological Seminary in NJ. My deep gratitude goes to Dr. Jaco Haman, the director of T&P program, for his ongoing encouragement and support. His caring mentorship has been paramount in providing me with a great atmosphere at Vanderbilt. iv My T&P cohort has also been a source of friendships as well as good advice and collaboration. I want to thank Karen Eardley for her outstanding administrative assistance and service. I would also like to express my appreciation to other professors at Religion, Psychology, and Culture program---Dr. Volney Gay, Dr. Evon Flesberg, and Dr. Barbara McClure (who currently teaches at Brite Divinity School)---for teaching excellent courses. Special thanks also goes to my former professors at Yale Divinity School and Candler School of Theology---Dr. Kristen Leslie, Dr. Jan Holton, Dr. Karen Scheib, Dr. Emmanuel Lartey, Dr. Rex Matthews, and Dr. Don Saliers---for guiding and encouraging my academic career and research for the past several years. I am also gratefully indebted to my Professors at Yonsei University in Korea--- Dr. Youngkwon Yoo and Dr. Sukhwan Chung ---for inspiring and helping me to develop my background and interest in pastoral care and counseling in my undergraduate study. I wish to thank my friends at Vanderbilt. Special thanks to Laura Kreiselmaier, with whom I went through together each stage of the doctoral program, for her mutual support and prayer. Many thanks to Benjamin Anthony, who was always willing to help proofreading my writings and give his best suggestions. I have been truly enriched by their friendship. I also want to acknowledge Kent Kreiselmaier, Ira Hilderman, Richard Coble, Jon Stotts, Jessica Bratt, Peter Capretto, Laine Young, Kate Lassiter, and other RPC graduates for their friendship and help with the editing work. I also want to thank the faculty, staff, and students at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. Special thanks go to Dr. Raynard Smith for his mentoring and friendship. I am also very much indebted to the support, understanding, and prayer of the members of Asbury United Methodist Church in Woodstown NJ. With deep respect and love, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my parents---Kyungran Ko and Changyoon Yun---and my parents-in-law---Inja Chang and v Donghoon Suh--for their tremendous love, support, and prayer. They encouraged me at every point in this process. My last word of acknowledgement goes to my wife, Soyoun Suh, and my children, Yewon (Emma) and Yeil (Nathan). During this stressful and challenging journey they made me laugh and gave me strength to continue my work. They stood by me through the good and bad times, cheering me up. They put confidence in me even when I was not so sure about myself. My doctoral study would not have been possible without their unwavering love, sacrifice, and support in every possible way. Above all, I owe it all to God for granting me the wisdom, health, and strength to undertake this research project and enabling me to its completion. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page DEDICATION------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT----------------------------------------------------------------------------- iv INTRODUCTION----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Introduction----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Literature Review---------------------------------------------------------------------------------4 Religion and Masculinity in the New Men’s Studies-------------------------------4 Pastoral Theology on Men and Masculinities ---------------------------------------7 Argument of the Project-------------------------------------------------------------------------15 Methodological Foundations for Studying Masculinity ----------------------------------- 18 Feminist Pastoral Theological Methods ------------------------------------------------- 21 Definition of the Key Terms--------------------------------------------------------------------23 Masculinity ------------------------------------------------------------------------------23 Hegemonic Masculinity----------------------------------------------------------------25 Overview of the Chapters-----------------------------------------------------------------------28 Significance of the Project----------------------------------------------------------------------32 I.

  • A Theological Analysis of the Non-Church Movement in Korea with a Special Reference to the Formation of Its Spirituality
    A THEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NON-CHURCH MOVEMENT IN KOREA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE FORMATION OF ITS SPIRITUALITY by SUN CHAE HWANG A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study provides a new theological approach for interpreting the Non- Church Movement (NCM) in Korea. Previous studies have been written from a historical perspective. Therefore, an examination of the spirituality and characteristics of the NCM from a theological standpoint is a new approach. The present study investigates the connection between the NCM and Confucianism. It attempts to highlight the influence of Confucian spirituality on the NCM, in particular the Confucian tradition of learning. It also examines the link between the NCM and Quakerism, in particular the influence of Quaker ecclesiology on the NCM. This too has not been examined in previous studies. The thesis argues that the theological roots of NCM ecclesiology lie in the relatively flat ecclesiology of the Quaker movement in the USA.

  • Joseon Literati's Righteous Principles
    STUDIA ORIENTALNE 2021, nr 2 (20) ISSN 2299-1999 https://doi.org/10.15804/so2021209 Haesung Lee1 Joseon Literati’s Righteous Principles (Yiriron) as a Moral Practice in the Political Realities – Its Meaning and Limitation in a Historical Context Introduction:Dohak – the Joseon Neo-Confucianism Neo-Confucianism flourished as a central ideology and absolute social order during the Joseon dynasty (朝鮮 1392–1910). “Neo-Confucianism” is a gen- eral term commonly applied to the revival of the various strands of Confucian philosophy during the Chinese Sòng dynasty (宋 960–1280 C.E.), re-exam- ined and reconstructed by Zhu Xi (朱熹, 1130–1200 AD.) It provided Koreans with philosophical speculation, moral and social norms, and a most strongly functional lifestyle. However, the terms of Joseon Neo-Confucianism con- note some specific characteristics, compared to classic Confucianism and the Chinese version of “Neo-Confucianism”2. The term of Dohak (道學 Chin. Dàoxué) – Dao (Way) Learning – already existed in classical Confucian context. However, in Korea, it is generally called Dohak (道學), which concerns Neo-Confucianism of the Joseon dynasty in a holistic scale. Thus, a proper understanding of the term Dohak is essential to comprehend the essence and particular characteristics of Korean Neo-Con- fucianism. Among the similar terms which refer to Neo-Confucianism, such as Jujahak (朱子學 Chin. Zhūzǐxué: Zhu Xi’s Science) and Jeongjuhak (程朱學 1 University of Wrocław, Poland, ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5185-3586, e-mail: [email protected]. 2 The Korean Neo-Confucianism 1) was condensed rather into an anthropological, centripetal, and inward way such as the “Four-Seven” theory and Human Nature; 2) pursued to seek religious an ethical legitimacy under the name of Confucian teaching, even beyond logical rationality; 3) put much more emphasis on Righteousness and Fidelity in a macroscale; 4) clarified the Righteousness as a theoretic speculation on moral propriety.

  • The Representation of Masculinity in South Korean
    The Representation of Masculinity in South Korean Reality Show “The Return of Superman” Yanti Praptika Gesang Manggala Nugraha Putra English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract The culture of South Korea produces a different breed of masculinity. A breed that is distinguishable from the one born within Western culture. This type of masculinity is spread not just locally, but also globally through various Korean media, such as K-Pop, K-Drama, and reality shows. One of Korean Shows that is popular nowadays is The Return of Superman. This study would like to discuss the representation of masculinity in Korea that is being represented by the celebrity fathers in that show. Using textual analysis, theory of television culture by John Fiske, and the messages of masculinity by Ian M. Harris, this study tries to reveal the way those celebrity fathers represent the South Korean masculinity. The result of the analysis shows that masculinity in The Return of Superman is not all about strength and power but also about how to love their children and take care of their family. The Return of Superman is trying to show the ideology that superman masculinity is not only about strength and power but also about helping and respecting women in their gender role. This could be a part of the government’s effort to realize gender equality in South Korea. Keywords: masculinity, fatherhood, reality show, The Return of Superman, superman masculinity Introduction Masculinity, as a part of gender discourse, is something constructed socially and culturally by the societies. Globally, masculinity is always related to strength and power.

  • Why Study Men and Masculinities?
    Why Study Men and Mascu linities? A Theorized Research Review Tal Peretz ABSTRACT: Feminist scholars have long made the important and valid critique that nearly all knowledge production not explicitly labeled feminist has implic- itly studied men. Nonetheless, feminist scholars and activists are increasingly recognizing the importance of explicitly investigating men as gendered beings. This paper argues that gender-aware studies of men and masculinities are in fact necessary for an intersectional analysis of gender relations, and that a better un- derstanding of masculinity is necessary to reduce men’s perpetration of violence and increase support for gender justice. It provides five mutually reliant reasons why studies of men and masculinities are necessary for understanding gender re- lations and beneficial for feminist projects for gender justice: that superordinate categories tend to go unmarked and thereby uncritiqued; that gender is relational; that investigating the social construction of masculinity calls men’s superordinate status into question; that masculinity is one of the primary social forces currently stalling egalitarian social change; and that investigating masculinity highlights contradictions and cleavages where masculinity can be most effectively attacked. KEYWORDS: men and masculinities, gender, superordinates, theory American social science has historically tended to study “down,” investigating sub- ordinated and oppressed groups (e.g. Liebow 1967; Whyte 1943); feminist sociol- ogy especially focuses on the lives and experiences of subordinated groups in the gender hierarchy, women and transgendered people.

Through a Critical Discourse Analysis of Manosphere texts, the research explores how issues of gender and race inform the culture and politics of the community. It identifies common linguistic markers that distinguish the Manosphere from the historical Men's Rights Movement and liken it instead, to the the Alt-Right movement. For example, devices like metaphor, hyperbole and dog whistles operate in the discourse as modes for negotiating meaning making and accelerating the dissemination of extreme right discourse in mainstream political spaces. I argue that this process in part explains why particularly since 2016 and the election of Donald Trump in the United States, political sentiment has become more open to the iterations of misogyny and racism emblematic of the Manosphere.

Schmitz 1,* and Emily Kazyak 2 1 Department of Sociology & Anthropology, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, TX 78539, USA 2 Department of Sociology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-402-640-0336 Academic Editors: Christine M. Robinson and Sue Spivey Received: 12 April 2016; Accepted: 6 May 2016; Published: 12 May 2016 Abstract: A growth in cultural ideologies concerned with men and masculinities in contemporary American society has recently emerged. Men’s rights activist (MRA) groups embody a movement emphasizing the crisis of masculinity. Despite men’s privileged societal status, MRAs seek to establish resources for men to utilize in elevating their perceived subordinated position in society in relation to women and social minorities. Little research has systematically investigated MRAs on the Internet, which is rapidly becoming a primary source of information and social connectedness for people. Through a content analysis of the 12 most prominent MRA websites, we explore the various strategies used by contemporary men’s groups designed to provide support for men in their pursuit of social legitimacy and power. Two primary categories of MRAs with distinctive ideological strategies emerged from this analysis: Cyber Lads in Search of Masculinity and Virtual Victims in Search of Equality. Though both groups promoted men’s entitlement to social power, Cyber Lads utilized themes of explicit aggression towards and devaluation of women, while Virtual Victims adopted political and social movement rhetoric to address men’s issues.
