    The Body in Packaging Culture: Researching Cosmetic Surgery within Korea’s Neo-Confucian Culture By Eunji Choi Submitted to Utrecht University Graduate Gender Studies Program Main Supervisor: Prof. dr. Anne-Marie Korte Support Supervisor: Dr. Mark Johnson Utrecht, The Netherlands 2015 The Body in Packaging Culture: Researching Cosmetic Surgery within Korea’s Neo-Confucian Culture By Eunji Choi Submitted to Utrecht University Graduate Gender Studies Program Main Supervisor: Prof. dr. Anne-Marie Korte Support Supervisor: Dr. Mark Johnson Approved by: Utrecht, The Netherlands 2015 2 Abstract Contemporary developments within the current global self-care regime have increased the potential of many individuals to control their own bodies, and to have their bodies surveilled by others (Shilling, 2003). The body is understood as a project that needs to be “worked at and accomplished as part of an individual’s self-identity” (Shilling, 2003:4) in this time of ‘high modernity’ (Giddens, 1991). The project of cosmetic surgery is one example of how modern individuals attribute significance both to their bodies and the way their bodies look. In a South Korean context, the cosmetic surgery scene is especially interesting to examine in the light of the uniquely Korean practice of giving cosmetic surgery as a gift, especially to daughters. Ironically, the body has to remain unaltered from how it has been received at birth according to the Neo-Confucian tradition, which continues to form the ideological base of contemporary Korean society. Moreover, this tradition teaches that inward goodness does not depend upon one’s outer appearance, something that is quite opposite to “popular physiognomic assumptions that the body, especially the face, is a reflection of the self” (Featherstone, 2010:195).

  • Recent Approaches to Confucian Filial Morality1 Forthcoming in Philosophy Compass
    Recent Approaches to Confucian Filial Morality1 Forthcoming in Philosophy Compass Hagop Sarkissian Department of Philosophy The City University of New York Graduate Center | Baruch College ABSTRACT: A hallmark of Confucian morality is its emphasis on duties to family and kin as weighty features of moral life. The virtue of ‘filiality’ or ‘filial piety’ (xiao 孝), for example, is one of the most important in the Confucian canon. This aspect of Confucianism has been of renewed interest recently. On the one hand, some have claimed that, precisely because it acknowledges the importance of kin duties, Confucianism should be seen as an ethics rooted in human nature that remains a viable system of morality today. On the other hand, some have argued that the extreme emphasis on filial duties is precisely the aspect of Confucian moral philosophy that ought to be jettisoned in favor of greater impartialism; without mitigating its emphasis on filial piety, Confucianism risks irrelevance to modern concerns. In this paper, I will outline the nature of filial morality in the Confucian tradition and discuss these recent contributions to the literature.

  • CHING, Julia 1976 to Acquire Wisdom： the Way of Wang Yang-Ming
    The Idea of God in Nakae T5ju Julia Ching INTRODUCTION Nakae T5ju (1608-48) is acknowledged to be the founder of the Wang Yang-ming (Oy5m ei) school of philosophy in Japan—a school which produced such great men as Kuma- za w a Banzan (1619-91), an immediate disciple and chief minister to Ikeda Mitsumasa, feudal lord of Okayama, and Yoshida Shoin (1830-59), a fiery young reformer who paid with his life for his determination to learn from Western science in order to "modernize" Japan. In contrast to these men, Toju led a retiring life, distinguishing himself chiefly as a village teacher, and extending the doctrine and prac­ tice of filial piety beyond the family, to the belief in and worship of a supreme deity. In this study, I should like to focus on Toju's idea of God, and compare it to the Chris­ tian idea. The various influences on the formation and evolution of this idea, whether Confucian, Taoist, Shinto, Buddhist, or even possibly Christian, will also be discussed, in order that we might better understand this idea of God and perceive its uniqueness. LIFE AND THOUGHT Nakae Toju was born in the village of O g aw a, in the pro­ vince of O m i，on the west bank of Lake Biwa, in a quiet and beautiful place which would become known mainly because of his own later fame. From the age of six on, the child lived, not with his parents in O g aw a, but with his grandparents in Shikoku. His sensitivity was probably enhanced by the successive tragic losses, during Toju!s early youth, of his grandmother (1621), grandfather (1622), and father (1625)，which effectively left his mother alone and his only close adult kin by the time Toju was age seventeen.

Jasmyn Murrell Virtuous Life, Honored Afterlife and the Evolution of Confucianism By Jasmyn Murrell Abstract: Confucius states that we must not focus on the afterlife, because we know so little of it, and we must focus on everyday life. However, Confucianism holds a philosophy of afterlife, even if it is not outright said or depicted. This paper will aim to prove just that. First, through Confucian ideals of being a dutiful person, to grant yourself an honored afterlife, and second, through how Confucianism influenced other religions such as Buddhism and Daoism, which will show a clear depiction of afterlife by considering death rituals, festivals, commune with ancestors, prayers, tomb decor, and the ideology of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism – you will begin to see the depiction of afterlife within Confucianism. But also, you will get to see how Confucianism has evolved and took on traits of both Daoism and Buddhism, which in turn is called Neo-Confucianism.

  • Relationship Between Confucian Ethics and Care Ethics: a Reflection, Rejection, and Reconstruction
    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONFUCIAN ETHICS AND CARE ETHICS: A REFLECTION, REJECTION, AND RECONSTRUCTION Qingjuan Sun Abstract: This essay first refutes two extant views on the relationship between Confucian ethics and care ethics, that is, 1) Confucian ethics is a care ethics, and 2) Confucian ethics and care ethics are virtue ethics. It then proposes that a better accommodation of Confucian ethics and care ethics into a single value system is to put them under relation ethics. While Confucian ethics is relation-oriented, care ethics is relation-constituted. Regarding the relationship between Confucian ethics and care ethics, there are two kinds of mainstream opinions. One is represented by Chenyang Li (1994; 2008) and characterizes Confucian ethics, Mencius ethics included, as a care ethics. The other is hold by scholars such as Daniel Star (2002) and Raja Halwani (2003) and regards Confucian ethics and care ethics as virtue ethics. This essay in the following will reject both views and propose a new approach that can accommodate Confucian ethics and care ethics in a single value system. To avoid confusion and ambiguity, two points should be clarified beforehand. First, by Confucian ethics, this essay does not refer to the broad and prolonged ethical tradition of Confucianism, which is far beyond its coverage. Rather, it succeeds previous discussions pertinent to the topic and focuses on Confucius ethics as well as Mencius ethics in elaborating Confucian ethical points. Second, when talking about care ethics, instead of referring it broadly as a cluster of normative ethical theories, this essay, following Li’s arguments, draws support from Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings’s works.

  • FILIAL PIETY in IMPERIAL Cmna
    ISSN 1648-2662 ACTA ORIENTALlA VILNENSIA. 2004 5 FILIAL PIETY IN IMPERIAL CmNA leva Simanaviciute Centre of Oriental Studies, Vilnius University The concept of filial piety is not only a philosophical idea, but also a practical rule of ethics, which has persisted to the present time and is clearly reflected in nowadays' societies of East Asia. The aim of this article, concerning filial piety in imperial China, is to reveal the peculiarities of and the consensuses and contradictions in the conception and interpretation of filiality in Orthodox Confucianism and popular practices, as well as in Buddhism and Daoism. The study is a novelty in Lithuanian sinology as it offers a wide view on the subject, discovering its manifestations in all the three main teachings. It is an exploratory work of original sources, with some references to available studies of Western scholars. It concludes by saying that filial piety found its prominent place in most of the teachings and certainly made a great impact on nowadays' East Asian cultures. Preface Filial piety is an everlasting value which first emerged in Confucius' teachings, was extended to loyalty to the ruler and, in a broader sense, referred to the relationship between the inferior and the superior. Confucianism was adopted in Korea and Japan, and so did filial piety. Later the concept started to be explored by Western scholars and compared to Christian obedience, then it became the main object of academic conferences all over the world, and now this highly appreciated Confucian value is examined mostly as a cultural heritage in Far East immigrant societies and is related to the problems of aging society.

  • Education in a Private Academy 9 Education in a Private
    education in a private academy 9 Chapter two eduCation in a private Academy after world war one erupted, my family moved to tianjin, and at age eight, by Chinese reckoning, i began studying with a tutor. this continued for some ten years until i left for Beijing (then known as Beiping) in 1930 to enter university. i was quite young in the years immediately following the may Fourth movement of 1919 and had for some time been studying with private tutors. i think these facts are not unrelated to my father’s thinking about education at the time. Father seemed to have invested no faith in the new-style schools of that period. he did, though, place my brothers only four or five years younger than i in middle school, and the youngest of my siblings entered nursery school before proceeding on to elementary and middle school as well. in what were dubbed “older families” (jiujia 舊家) in the 1920s, students were provided with a grounding in old-style Chinese learning and the an- cient classics before advancing to “western-style schools” (yangxuetang 洋 學堂). thus, many such families valued private tutoring highly. For ex- ample, my colleagues in the history department of peking university, Shao Xunzheng 邵循正 (1909–1973, a historian of mongolia and modern China) and Zhang Zhilian 張芝聯 (1918–2008, a historian of France) had private tutors in place of elementary and middle school, and thereafter they both jumped directly into high school. my case, however, was more extreme in that i did not even attend high school, and when it was time to enter uni- versity, i was confronted by a number of difficulties.

  • The Chinese Classic of Family Reverence: a Philosophical Translation of the Xiaojing
    《中國文化研究所學報》 Journal of Chinese Studies No. 50 - January 2010 Book Reviews 335 The Chinese Classic of Family Reverence: A Philosophical Translation of the Xiaojing. By Henry Rosemont, Jr., and Roger T. Ames. Honolulu, HI: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2009. Pp. xv + 132. $46.00 cloth, $22.00 paper. The fruitful partnership between Henry Rosemont, Jr., and Roger T. Ames which earlier yielded The Analects of Confucius: A Philosophical Translation1 has delivered another fine translation and study of a major Confucian classic—namely, the Xiaojing 孝經, rendered here as the “Classic of Family Reverence” but perhaps more commonly known to English readers as the “Classic of Filial Piety.” The translation will be welcomed by students of Chinese literature. The study of xiao that accompanies it should provoke much discussion and debate. Traditionally ascribed to Confucius or his disciple Zengzi 曾子 (Zeng Shen 曾參), the Xiaojing was hugely influential in pre-modern China and the Confucian world at large. As the authors point out, Sima Qian’s 司馬遷 Shiji 史記 (Records of the Historian) reports that “Confucius regarded Zeng Shen as a person able to truly penetrate the way of family reverence, and accordingly passed on his teachings to him. Zeng Shen compiled the Classic of Family Reverence . .” (pp. 11–12). Ban Gu’s 班固 Hanshu 漢書 (History of the Han Dynasty) in its classification of literature lists the Xiaojing under the classical “Six Arts” (liuyi 六藝) and adds, “The Xiaojing is [a record of what] Confucius explained 2 to Zengzi concerning the way of xiao” (孝經者，孔子為曾子陳孝道也). The word jing (classic) in its title should not be taken to mean that it was accorded canonical status from the start.

  • "Confucian" Classics, by Michael Nylan Endnotes
    Copyright 2001 Yale University The Five "Confucian" Classics, by Michael Nylan Endnotes Page ¶ Chapter 1— Introduction to the Five Classics 1 1 "…the Chinese system"—In Korea, a national university dedicated to classical education in Chinese was established in AD 372 in Koguryô, one of the Three Kingdoms absorbed into Unified Silla, but it was not until the fourteenth century that the Yi dynasty designated Zhu Xi's teachings as Korea's official state ideology (for 500 years). In Japan, elements of Chinese-style classicism were first promoted by the fourth and fifth shoguns of Tokugawa (from 1651), and fully systematized only in Meiji. See Kurozumi Makoto (1994). In Vietnam, Van Mieu, a university on the Chinese model, with classes conducted in Mandarin Chinese, was in operation after AD 1070. For more information on Vietnam, see Alexander Woodside (1971). For Zhu Xi (1130-1200), see below in the introduction and Key Terms. 2 1 "…well worth revisiting"—Thomas Wilson (Hamilton College, private communication) reminds us that the modernists disputed the view that the world is iinherently moral; the postmodernists, that the world is intelligible. For the phrase "real science of men," see Charles Calia (1998), p. 139. 2 1 "…squander their riches"—Of course, Zhu Xi once scoffed at this ardent desire, which he ascribed to the Han classical masters, to fully comprehend thhe Supreme Sage: "Short of recalling Confucius's soul (hun) so that he can explain in person, I do not know what is to be done" about interpreting the past.

What is xiao? The word has been translated since the Jesuits in the 1500's as “filial piety,” but I do not use the term here because it denotes a subjective state, i.e. a state of mind, a state of worshipful piety, rather than an objective state, i.e. a way of conduct, indeed a whole way of living one’s life, as prescribed by the sages. Instead of “filial piety”, I think the phrase “being good to parents” captures more the essence of xiao. There remains, however, the problem that xiao, as set forth in this definitive work, is not confined to being good to one’s parents but also includes being good to one’s ancestors. Thus the phrase “being good to parents and ancestors” may be more appropriate. Since that is a bit long-winded and clumsy, I have decided to just use the transliteration, “xiao”.
