As tends to happen on most long journeys, I often felt confused, disoriented, and at a loss. More than once, I was confronted with writer’s block. As a non-native speaker, I have struggled with academic English skills from start to finish. Nonetheless, these difficulties do not overshadow the happy, pleasant and inspiring moments I enjoyed during my PhD research. Unable to get anything done under stress, I can say that every page of this dissertation is the result of my pleasure, joy and enthusiasm. So many people did not hesitate to help and support me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Prof. B.C.A. Walraven. Without his extraordinary patience and guidance, I would not have finished this work. He gave me the time to grow and the freedom to learn through trial and error. His careful and attentive proofreading contributed to the improvement of this dissertation. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. R.E. Breuker for his warm encouragement. He lent a helping hand to me in times of distress. I particularly appreciate his efforts in dealing with the administrative paperwork in the final stages. I thank Dr. K. De Ceuster for generously sharing knowledge and references on Korean colonial history with me. I am grateful to Prof. em. K.M. Wells at ANU who showed a constant interest in my research and offered productive criticism along the way. I would like to extend my thanks to the professors and lecturers in Chinese and Japanese studies at Leiden University, who allowed me to be part of their lectures and seminars on modern Chinese intellectual history, modern Japanese history and religions in Asia. This experience enabled me to look at my topic from a wider perspective. I am grateful to all my colleagues, co- workers and peers in the Arsenaal and Huizinga buildings, who provided me with a friendly and cheerful working atmosphere and gave me a sense of belonging in Leiden University. I owe a debt of gratitude to the PhD students, junior and senior scholars in Korean Studies in Europe, whose academic companionship I had the pleasure of enjoying during all these years. They directly and indirectly motivated me to push on and complete this research. I offer special thanks to my dear friends. Despite the long distance, they stood by me, cheered me up, and laughed with me. Although I was negligent in keeping in touch, distracted as I was by my dissertation, they showed great understanding and friendship. My deepest thanks go to my parents and other family members. They did not dare to call or visit me for fear of disturbing me. Their unconditional love has made me stronger. I dedicate this dissertation to Jeroen, my husband, who never faltered in motivating me by offering the sweetest carrots and the most threatening sticks and who kept saying “I am proud of you” even when I myself lost self- confidence. 5 Chapter 1 is a slightly revised version of my article “A doubtful national hero: Han Yongun's Buddhist nationalism revisited,” Korean Histories 3.1 (2012): 35-52.

Breuker (Leiden: Research School CNWS, 2007), pp.204-219. 6 Introduction This study on a group of Buddhist writers active in colonial Korea (1910-1945) is part of a broader attempt to look into the complex process of interaction between religion and literature in producing history during the colonial period. When studying colonial history, it is a salient feature of the period that religion and literature took a prominent role. One may remember that the monumental March First Movement in 1919 was led mainly by Ch’ŏndogyo (an indigenous religion), Christian and Buddhist religious leaders. Cultural nationalism in the 1920s was under the guidance of devout Protestant Christians such as Yun Ch’iho and An Ch’angho. Authors were actively engaged in many fields as journalists, priests, schoolteachers, scholars of history or law, and leaders of nationalist and socialist movements. Religious and literary figures were influential social actors who had close contact with the public as well as the colonial authorities and were concerned with social, cultural, and political events and affairs, large or small. It is also no coincidence that many wartime collaborators at the end of the colonial period were either religious figures or literary writers. The existing dominant scholarship particularly in Korea on the role and meaning of religion and literature for a long time has been conditioned by a nationalist historical perspective, which limits relevant research to the single theme of national resistance against the Japanese colonial power. The description of colonial period literature often begins with the major premise that it was a period of economic hardship and mental distress due to Japanese exploitation and repression. The Korean nation (Han minjok) fought against colonialism and demonstrated their national strength in various fields of economy, society, and culture. The motive that dominated the literary consciousness of authors in this period was nothing else but the wish to express their anger with the pen. Facing the national ordeals, writers are assumed to have shown a spirit of resistance or non-conformist attitudes, and made an effort to protect the nation and boost the national spirit of the people.1 What tends to be emphasized in the general history of Korea concerning religion is confrontation with the Japanese government and religious service to the Korean nation (minjok or kyŏre). Korean Buddhists tried to guard their tradition from the penetration of Japanese Buddhism and governmental control. Such efforts to protect religion were nothing different from the anti-Japanese movement. 2 Korean Christian churches brought 1 Yi Myŏngjae 李明宰, Singminji shidae Han’guk munhak 植民地時代의 韓國文學 (Seoul: Chung’ang taehakkyo ch’ulp’anbu, 1991); Kim Yunsik and Kim Hyŏn 김윤식 김현, Han’guk munhaksa 한국문학 사 (Seoul: Minŭmsa, 1973/2000); Cho Tong’il 조동일, Hanguk munhak t’ongsa 5 한국문학통사 5 (Seoul: Chisik sanŏpsa, 2005). 2 Kim Kyŏngjip 金敬執, Han’guk kŭndae Pulgyosa 한국근대불교사 (Seoul: Kyŏngsŏwŏn, 1998/2000); Chŏng Kwangho 정광호, Ilbon ch’imnakshigi-ŭi Hanil Pulgyo kwanggyesa 일본침략시기의 한일불교관 7 modernization to Korea and made a major contribution to political anti- Japanese struggles. Christians labored to save the Korean people in the midst of hardship and despair and shared joy and sorrow with them.3 New religions such as Ch’ŏndogyo are often regarded as the defenders of the national spirit against foreign encroachment of Japan and the West.

  • Lesbians in Japan and South Korea
    Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling EAST 4590 – Master’s Thesis in East Asian Studies African and Asian Studies 60 credits – spring 2012 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Master’s thesis, Elise Fylling © Elise Fylling 2012 Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling Academic supervisor: Vladimir Tikhonov http://www.duo.uio.no Printed by: Webergs Printshop Summary Lesbians in Japan and South Korea have long been ignored in both academic, and in social context. The assumption that there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea dominates a large population in these societies, because lesbians do not identify as such in the public domain. Instead they often live double lives showing one side of themselves to the public and another in private. Although there exist no formal laws against homosexuality, a social barrier in relation to coming out to one’s family, friends or co-workers is highly present. Shame, embarrassment and fear of being rejected as deviant or abnormal makes it difficult to step outside of the bonds put on by society’s hetero-normative structures. What is it like to be lesbian in contemporary Japan and South Korea? In my dissertation I look closely at the Japanese and South Korean society’s attitudes towards young lesbians, examining their experiences concerning identity, invisibility, family relations, the question of marriage and how they see themselves in society. I also touch upon how they meet others in spite of their invisibility as well as giving some insight to the way they chose to live their life.

That morning, Damian rolled to the starting line high in the Arbuckle hills to compete in his first marathon, courtesy of the Oklahoma City Landrunners and the Oh!! What a Ride!!! program. Damian, a Sulphur Public Schools student, was born with cerebral palsy and microcephaly, a disorder that causes the brain to shrink over time. Because of his conditions, Damian cannot walk and the majority of his communication is non-verbal. However, The Daily Ardmoreite suggests that it is his “zeal that he displays every day” that made Damian the perfect candidate as the first person to tackle the marathon with Oh!! What a Ride!!!

  • The Bible and Empire in the Divided Korean Peninsula in Search for a Theological Imagination for Just Peace
    University of Dublin Trinity College The Bible and Empire in the Divided Korean Peninsula In Search for a Theological Imagination for Just Peace A Dissertation Submitted For the Degree of DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY By Youngseop Lim Irish School of Ecumenics February 2021 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed: _____________________________________ Date: _______________________________________ iii Summary The major objective of this thesis is to examine the relationship between biblical interpretation and imperialism in the context of the Korean conflict. This study takes its starting point in the questions of what caused the Korean conflict, and what role the Bible has played in the divided Korean church and society. In order to find answers to these questions, this study is carried out in several steps. The first step is to explore just peace and imperial peace in the Bible as a conceptual framework. The second step seeks to reconstruct the history of Korean Christianity, the relationship between church and state, and the impact of American church and politics from postcolonial perspective. As the third step, this study focuses on the homiletical discourses of Korean megachurches in terms of their relation to the dominant ideologies, such as anticommunism, national security, pro-Americanism, and economic prosperity.
