    Toward an Authentic Korean Biblical Reading: Shamanism and the Bible in Dialogue by Yong-Chi Rhie A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield September 2013 Abstract This thesis focuses on the binary opposition between Yahwistic prophecy and shamanistic practices and the coexistence of various religious professionals in the Bible - prophets, magicians and diviners - who continually challenge theological distinctions set by the central religious hierarchy. My research explores Korean shamanism: from its basic worldview to the characteristics of shamanic practitioners and rituals, and to its syncretism with other religions, in which compatibility with the Korean authentic spirituality is the key to the successful settlement of missionary religions. Various shamanic models are proposed to find resources for the parallel study between the biblical faiths and practices and Korean shamanism, such as: the spiritual calling of prophetic figures in the Bible and of Korean shamanic neophytes; the paradox of prophetic condemnation against magic and divination employed by ‘others’, when similar techniques are used by the Old Testament prophets as a sign of divine connection; and the rite of passage of prophetic and shamanic practitioners, as a bridge between the secular and the sacred. Through a close reading of the prophetic narratives, this thesis resists what appears to be the dominant voice in the interpretative tradition of the Bible in the Korean church - a polarity between a central or Christian religion and a popular or shamanic spirituality - and points out that the Bible itself is a rich depository of competing i religious systems and models, with which Bible readers from various religious and cultural backgrounds can identify or compare in their own environments.

  • Motif of Miraculous Birth in Mongolian And
    ISSN 1226-4490 International Journal of Central Asian Studies Volume 1 1996 Editor in Chief Talat Tekin The International Association of Central Asian Studies Institute of Asian Culture and Development MOTIF OF MIRACULOUS BIRTH IN MONGOLIAN AND KOREAN MYTHS AND EPIC (COMPARATIVE STUDY) Prof. Dr Alexander Fedotoff 1.0 Introduction Myths and epic cannot exist without mythic and epical characters. Moreover, mythic and epical space and time cannot exist without such characters, as well. These characters have individual, only or mainly their own distinctive features (name, motifs and elements of biographies, etc.), movements and entertainments, on one hand, and typical features with characteristic nature, on the other hand. The latter point allows us to treat such a character as a special phenomenon of mythic and epical verbal art. both, individual and group (typical), are equally important and interconditioned, because an individual principle to great extent is a definite artistic realization of a group, or typical principle. Another point: one can assume typical principle to have some deviations, and therefore, to signify a progress, a motion, a creation of a new typical feature. In this article I would like to discover typical features, regulations and rules in the description of mythic, legendary and epical characters in Mongolian, consequently in Buryat and Oirat-Kalmuck, and in Korean myths and epic, as well as to find out individual ethnic features in their realization. Among a great variety of motifs which construct main mythic and epical characters I have chosen a motif of miraculous birth. This motifis connected with the idea of a special predestination, which is inherent to mythic narrative works, as well as to heroic epic and historical legends.

  • 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.

  • Contact) Havecome to Occupy a Position of Increasing Importance
    RELIGION AND LAW IN KOREA Pyong Choon Hahm University of Korea, Seoul I. Problems, Concepts and Definitions The problems of culture conflict and acculturation (culture contact) have come to occupy a position of increasing importance as a subject of study among anthropologists and sociologists in recent decades. Although these scholars themselves would be the first to agree that there is still considerable room for improvement in theory and conceptualization, there has been substantial contribution to our understanding of the process of encounter between different cultures. With the European colonial powers the question of acculturation of their colonial peoples was a practical one of application. Knowledge of the mechanics of cultural transmission and variety was essential as a basis for their colonial policy. In America the overpowering of Indian culture by white culture has been of interest to anthropologists. Convergence of divergent European cultures in "the great melting pot" has prompted the American social scientists to study the subject from both psychological (personal disorganization) and socio- cultural (cultural change) vantage points (Stonequist 1937 and Beals 1962: 375-395). In the field of law, culture contact, in terms of an alien legal system being transmitted to a receiving culture with totally different historical background, has been a subject of little interest. It is true that the American Realists (Karl Llewellyn with Adamson Hoebel, for example) and some comparative lawyers have shown some interest in this problem. But the problem has been left largely untouched by lawyers. Even socio- logists of law have confined themselves primarily to their own cultures with emphasis on "culture lag." There seem to be several reasons for this neglect.

BIRTH AND WOMEN IN MYTHOLOGY by Chanju Lee Under the Direction of Constance Thalken ABSTRACT The Birth is a multi-media video installation inspired by my personal experiences of a miscarriage and the births of my two children. The work is influenced by the mythologies found in Korean culture that focus on the mother figure as a “Great Mother”. She is an “ideal woman”, a “good mother” and a “sincere wife”. Working abstractly across the media of painting, video, digital animation, and the paintings of my son, The Birth exploits metaphors and symbols, to tell the story of women, especially the stories of mothers. The work speaks to motherly love and my own identity as an artist and a mother. INDEX WORDS: Multi-media, Video installation, Digital animation, Miscarriage, Birth, Mother, Motherly love, Great mother, Ideal woman, Sincere wife, Mythology, Children, Culture, Submissive women, Artist.

All rights reserved. 112 The Review of Korean Studies Prologue: A Forgotten Book In 1942, Mario Untersteiner (1899-1981), an Italian scholar specializing in Classic Studies, published a book titled Le origini della tragedia e del tragico (The Origins of Tragedy and “Tragicalness”). The topic was not a novelty, as other illustrious personalities such as Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) had already written on the subject, but Untersteiner’s approach was revolutionary. In his work of 1872, Nietzsche (1978) mainly used a philosophical/esthetical approach, by seeing tragedy as the result of a dichotomous conflict internal to Greek culture, exemplified by the categories of “sense of measure” or “equilibrium” (μηδὲν ἄγαν), represented by the solar god Apollo, and excess/disorder, the most representative divinity of which was Dionysus. Freud focused his study on the psychoanalytic side of the question, starting with the rituals inside “primitive” tribes evoking (and exorcising) rivalries internal to clans and families. By analyzing some ceremonies in which the totemic animal is killed once a year, after being venerated as a taboo, Freud identified such rituals as scenic representations of the killing of a father/ancestor by his sons/members of the tribe. Therefore, the Oedipus’ complex is anything but the unconscious rivalry between father and son aimed to possess the mother (Freud 1913). The breaking of the taboo and the subsequent sense of guilt by the son constitutes the primitive core of the message of tragedy, where the “hero/ father” narrates his story as the main character and the “son” takes part as the chorus.
