Abramson, Chair Stevan Harrell Kenneth P. Yocom Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning University of Washington Abstract Community Resilience of the Korean New Village Movement, 1970-1979: Historical Interpretation and Resilience Assessment Chung Ho Kim This dissertation investigates the Korean New Village Movement (Saemaul Undong, New Rural Community Movement, or the KNVM) driven by the strong top-down leadership of President Park, Chung-hee in the 1970s. As a reaction to rapid Korean urbanization, the KNVM supported rural villages, transformed long-standing human settlements rapidly, and created social- ecological sudden changes of population and resource management. In this context, I investigate community resilience of rural villages supported by the KNVM in the 1970s to rapid urbanization through a framework of social-ecological resilience. This dissertation is structured in five parts with corresponding objectives: 1) to present a comprehensive research framework to interpret and assess the KNVM’s community resilience to rapid urbanization; 2) to identify the KNVM’s rationale, historical progress, and transformation of built environments, by comparing and contrasting the KNVM’s national-scale plans with village- scale projects based on sample villages; 3) to interpret the KNVM’s transformation in terms of human settlements, contextualizing it with Korean traditional houses and villages; 4) and 5) to assess the community resilience of rural villages supported by the KNVM to rapid urbanization in two dimensions of demography and ecology, addressing the cross-scale and cross-sectoral interaction of the KNVM to population change and resource management change. In conclusion, I discuss the following main findings: 1) The KNVM was an urban development in the rural sector rather than a rural development. The KNVM’s rapid and large- scale transformation created functional change of rural villages in terms of human settlements, which was to value service and infrastructure of rural villages rather than shelter. As a result, the KNVM caused rural villages to fall into high urban dependence and lose existing self-sufficiency. 2) The KNVM’s social-ecological resilience assessments show inconsistent results depending on temporal and spatial dimensions. More specifically, the KNVM was responsible for the short-term population mitigation of rapid urbanization, but the long-term urban-rural population polarization in terms of demographic resilience. Meanwhile, the KNVM contributed to the national-scale and local-scale reforestation, but the global-scale consequence of high foreign dependence of resource and energy in terms of ecological resilience.

  • Wartime Forestry and the “Low Temperature Lifestyle” in Late Colonial Korea, 1937–1945
    The Journal of Asian Studies Vol. 77, No. 2 (May) 2018: 333–350. © The Association for Asian Studies, Inc., 2018 doi:10.1017/S0021911817001371 Wartime Forestry and the “Low Temperature Lifestyle” in Late Colonial Korea, 1937–1945 DAVID FEDMAN This article examines the emergence in colonial Korea of a command economy for forestry products following the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45). It does so, first, by tracing the policy mechanisms through which the colonial state commandeered forest products, especially timber, firewood, and charcoal. Second, through an analysis of the wartime promotion of a “low temperature lifestyle,” it offers a thumbnail sketch of the lived experiences and corporeal consequences of state-led efforts to rationalize fuel consumption. Considered together, these lines of analysis offer insight into not only the ecological implications of war on the Korean landscape, but also the bodily privations that defined everyday life under total war—what might be called the “slow violence” of caloric control. Keywords: colonialism, energy, forestry, fuel, Japan, Korea, ondol, war HE OUTBREAK OF THE Second Sino-Japanese War in July 1937 precipitated a breakneck Tmobilization of Korea’s resources—military, industrial, and sylvan. Confronted with a newfound demand for war material, the Government-General of Korea (Chōsen Sōtokufu, hereafter GGK) ramped up the production of timber, charcoal, and a host of chemical components. To facilitate this push, the Major Industries Control Law was extended from the metropole to Korea, thereby tightening the colonial state’s grip on key war industries. A slate of laws thereafter restructured Korea’s heavy industrial base so as to meet the requirements of its so-called “national defense economy.” The colonial state likewise intensified its ideological efforts to enlist Korean subjects into service of the war effort.

  • From the Universal to the National the Question of Language and Writing in Twentieth-Century Korea*
    Journal of World Literature 1 (2016) 245–258 brill.com/jwl From the Universal to the National The Question of Language and Writing in Twentieth-Century Korea* Lim HyungTaek Sungkyunkwan University [email protected] Abstract With the advent of western modernity towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Chinese scriptworld deconstructed. This was the greatest transformation to take place in this region in all of its recorded history, for that history began in Chinese script. China, Japan, Vietnam, and Korea all used the Chinese script but used it in different ways. The universal system was developed uniquely in each case in interaction with the vernacular. This paper will examine the ways in which Korea adopted and negotiated with the Universal script and how Chinese writing developed with respect to Korean speech. It will conclude with some observations on the tensions brought to bear on the Chinese scriptworld by nationalization and westernization. Keywords Chinese Scriptworld – nationalization – Westernization – Korean National Language * Translated by Sowon S. Park. Translator’s note: This translation is a slightly shortened version of the Korean original, which is a revised and expanded version of the paper presented by the author at the 2015 East Asian Critical Journal Conference held at Lingnan University in Hong Kong on 30–31 May on the theme of “Colonialism in Asia (殖民亞洲)”. While the essay refers to texts most of which have not been translated into English, readers need not be familiar with the literature cited in the essay for them to follow the argument. In undertaking the translation of this essay, every attempt was made to preserve the author’s tone and style wherever possible.

As a key tenet of knowledge management, collaboration is an effective method of transferring 'know how' among individuals and therefore critical to creating and sustaining a competitive advantage. It involves negotiation, a conflict resolution strategy, which uses both assertiveness and cooperation to seek solutions advantageous to all parties. Collaboration is also linked with creativity.

Introduction From the point of nationalism, Korean scholars have asserted that the modern judicial system was adopted through the Gabo Reform, which was implemented to modernize the administration and the judiciary in the late nineteenth century. While this reform had time and political limitations, it is believed that Korean bureaucrats participated in a self-judiciary reform. The scholars asserted that Japan’s Residency General (which was the governing organization established before Japanese annexation of Korea as a protectorate) and Japan’s resulting occupation of Korea deprived Korea of the opportunity to establish western judiciary modernization.

  • The Advent of the First Indoor Stage in Korean Theatre: Impacts, Consequences and Implications Jungman Park, Hankuk University
    The Advent of the First Indoor Stage in Korean Theatre: Impacts, Consequences and Implications Jungman Park, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Republic of Korea The Asian Conference on Cultural Studies 2016 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract It is widely agreed that the modern Korean theatre began with the opening of the Hyeopyulsa, the first western-style theatre building, in December 1902. The reason for calling this theatre ‘modern’ is multifold, but the primary stress should be put on the fact that it introduced indoor stage, which was the first case in the history of Korean theatre. Outdoor performance in found places was one of the paradigmatic elements in traditional Korean performance and play forms, including Pansori (one- man singing-drama) and Talchum (mask dance). In this respect, the establishment of the indoor stage in the Hyeopyulsa was a sea change, predicting a shift in paradigm and environment that would divide Korean theatre thereafter from the previous. This modern stage needed a new play from to present, which resulted in the appearance of Changgeuk, well known as Korean opera to the West. This new play form is often regarded as ‘new theatre movement’ in that it attempted to extend the theatricality immanent in Pansori in positive way. At the same time, the modern gadgets of stage and play form foreshadowed a series of infringements on Korean theatre tradition. Revisiting the historical moment in the beginning of the twentieth century, this paper examines the impacts, consequences, and implications the advent of the modern stage had on Korean theatre. Keywords: Korean theatre, Hyeopyulsa, modernity, Westernized stage, Changgeuk, Pansori iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction It is widely agreed that the modern Korean theatre began with the opening of the first indoor-stage theatre, Hyeopyulsa(協律社), in December 1902.

  • The Written Voice of Korea — Suomi
    15.10.2018 The written voice of Korea — Suomi (https://www.kieliverkosto.fi/fi) The written voice of Korea The theme of language and nationalism may be approached via various routes. Among these, I choose Hangul, the invented alphabet of Korea, which, I believe, Koreans can by no means separate from the language. To the Korean people, Hangul is the very Korean language and vice versa. They tend to identify the Korean language and its alphabet as a unity, like the body and the soul. It is not rare for Korean-language teachers abroad to be misaddressed as Hangul teachers. I presume that the unity in the Korean mind has been concretely formed through the turmoil of late modern history, although Hangul has been influencing Korean society since the 1440s. To look at ‘language and nationalism’ in Korea, this article begins with the birth of Hangul. Julkaistu: 11. lokakuuta 2018 | Kirjoittanut: Jeong-Young Kim Picture 1.

    Trapped in the Quest for Realism: Mistaken Equality in Namchang Chunhyangga Cho Sung-Won Abstract Critics have argued that Namchang Chunhyangga reflects Sin Jae-hyo’s quest for realism, as he attempts to correct the “realistically impossible” cross-class marriage between Chun-hyang and Mong-ryong by “promot- ing” Chun-hyang’s social status from a gisaeng to a seonyeo (illegiti- mate daughter of a yangban). The actual presentation of Chun-hyang’s social status in the text, however, sheds doubts on Sin’s alleged quest for realism. Not only is Chun-hyang’s resistance to the malicious magis- trate in Namchang not rationalized by the fact that she is a seonyeo, but she never wins legitimacy as the hero’s wife or honored for her loy- alty. This paradoxical treatment of Chun-hyang’s social status not only destroys the principle of imyeon (verisimilitude) that Sin Jae-hyo val- ued so much, but undermines the popular spirit of freedom and human equality. In conclusion, the transformation of Chun-hyang from gisaeng to seonyeo does not indicate class promotion but the confirma- tion of class hierarchy. Keywords: Sin Jae-hyo, Namchang Chunhyangga, seonyeo, Chun- hyang, class hierarchy, middle-class consciousness * This study was supported by Seoul Women’s University Research Grant.

  • Anti-Cholera Activities of the Police in Early Colonial Korea
    01Park Yunjae_OK 2011.1.24 3:45 PM 페이지151 (주)anyprinting(pmac) Sanitizing Korea: Anti-Cholera Activities of the Police in Early Colonial Korea Park Yunjae The Gabo Reform cabinet in 1894 instituted the sanitary police system. With no cure or vaccine for epidemics available and few Western-trained doctors, the task of implementing disinfection and quarantine had to be taken up by the police. However, the sanitary police active in late Joseon Korea worked under civilian supervision. After the Protectorate Treaty of 1905, Japan changed the sanitary police system in Korea, reinforcing the role and the responsibility of the police. Unlike the Korean government, the colonial authority saw police enforcement as the mainstay of administrative implementation. The police-centered sanitizing system was fully established in 1911 when the full responsibility for sanitation work was transferred to the police. Whenever cholera raged through Korea, one of the first measures the Japanese colonial government took was to inspect sea vessels and trains. It was the police who were sent to examine the vessels and crews and also to see to the implementation of quarantine. Vaccination was regarded as the most effective preventive measure and the police controlled all aspects of vaccination campaigns. The most critical mission the police were assigned to carry out was house inspection. The police-centered anti-cholera activities seemed to work. With the exception of the years 1919, 1920 and 1926, colonial Korea did not see as many casualties from cholera as Japan did during the same period. However, the anti-cholera activities carried out by the police often encountered a hostile response from the people.

  • Dress and Ideology During the Late 19
    International Journal of Costume and Fashion Vol. 11 No. 1, Jun 2011, pp. 15-33 th Dress and Ideology during the late 19 and Dress and Ideology during th 1) the late 19th and early 20 centuries Korea, 1876~1945 early 20th centuries Korea, Min-Jung Lee+ ․ Min-Ja Kim* 1876~1945 Costume Designer, KBS Arts Vision, Seoul, Korea+ Professor, Research Institute of Human Ecology, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea* (Received December 14, 2010; Revised January 21, 2011; Accepted February 23, 2011) Abstract The late 19th and early 20th centuries of Korea were the times when the Confucianism (性理 學) ideology was shaken heavily under the influences of modernism and capitalism by Western and Japanese military and political-economic forces. Under such circumstances, alteration of clothing was much influenced by ideologies than changes in social structure or technological advance. In this study, an ideology was defined as "the force which drives people into a particular social order". Ideologies were postulated as an ongoing process of socialization with dialectic features rather than being a static state. Comparative analyses on conflict structures and different clothing patterns symbolizing the ideolo- gies of the Ruling (支配) and the Opposition (對抗) were conducted. Investigating dresses as representa- tions of ideologies is to reconsider the notion of dichotomous confrontation between the conservatives (守 舊派) and the progressives (開化派) and a recognition of Koreans’ passively accepting modernity during the Japanese occupation. This may also have contributed to enlightening Koreans about modernization. Here are the results. First, the theoretical review found that ideologies were represented by not only symbols of discourse, but also dresses, and that dresses embodied both physical and conceptual systems presenting differences between ideologies and their natures, Second, during the late 19th century Korea, conflict between conservatives' Hanbok (韓服) and progressives' Western suits (洋服) was found.
