  • Cold War Cultures in Korea by Travis Workman
    Cold War Cultures in Korea Instructor: Travis Workman Campuses: U of Minnesota, Ohio State U, and Pennsylvania State U Course website: http://coldwarculturesinkorea.com In this course we will analyze the Cold War (1945-1989) not only as an era in geopolitics, but also as a historical period marked by specific cultural and artistic forms. We focus on the Korean peninsula, looking closely at the literary and film cultures of both South Korea and North Korea. We discuss how the global conflict between U.S.- centered and Soviet-centered societies affected the politics, culture, and geography of Korea between 1945 and 1989, treating the division of Korea as an exemplary case extending from the origins of the Cold War to the present. We span the Cold War divide to compare the culture and politics of the South and the North through various cultural forms, including anti-communist and socialist realist films, biography and autobiography, fiction, and political discourse. We also discuss the legacy of the Cold War in contemporary culture and in the continued existence of two states on the Korean peninsula. The primary purpose is to be able to analyze post-1945 Korean cultures in both their locality and as significant aspects of the global Cold War era. Topics will include the politics of melodrama, cinema and the body, visualizing historical memory, culture under dictatorship, and issues of gender. TEXTS For Korean texts and films, the writer or director’s family name appears first. Please use the family name in your essays and check with me if you are unsure.

Nevertheless, both nations construct inverse ideologies with the common tools of the pen and lens and both produce highly coded,

  • L'énonciation Épistolaire Dans Les Cinémas Contemporains De Fiction
    MONOGRÁFICO Área Abierta. Revista de comunicación audiovisual y publicitaria ISSN: 2530-7592 / ISSNe: 1578-8393 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/arab.63968 L’énonciation épistolaire dans les cinémas contemporains de fiction en Asie : essai typologique Antoine Coppola1 Reçu : 07 mai 2019 / Accepté : 30 juin 2019 Résumé. En Asie, l’histoire socio-linguistique a parfois fait fleurir les énoncés épistolaires à l’écran et, parfois, les a fait flétrir. Les mélodrames ont développé les lettres-destin oralisés comme des charnières de la narration dramatique. Même un cinéma sous régime communiste comme celui de la Corée du Nord entretien ce modèle, mais en le détournant au profit de son épistolier et leader suprême. À partir des années 1990, des cinéastes comme Shunji Iwai ou Jeong Jae-eun ont écranisé les missives en leur attribuant un pouvoir de véridiction en conflit : social/persona. Wong Kar-wai a étendu l’énonciation épistolaire à l’ensemble de la structure narrative des voix off de ses films comme autant d’intériorités mémorielles. Enfin, la transition vers les espaces de communication numériques et virtuels, a amené des cinéastes comme Hideo Nakata ou Jia Zhangke à souligner la distance hantologique, spectrale dans le sens de Derrida ; distance liée au pouvoir de grands communicateurs invisibles devenus des tiers incontournables au cœur de tous les échanges. Mots-clefs : hantologie ; intériorité ; véridiction ; spectacle ; inter-subjectivité ; persona [es] Le enunciación epistolar en los cines de ficción contemporáneos de Asia: ensayo tipológico Resumen. La historia sociolingüística de Asia en unas ocasiones ha hecho florecer los enunciados epis- tolares en la pantalla y en otras los ha hecho marchitar.

  • Movies in Nk.Key
    Making movies in North Korea eric Lafforgue Kim Jong Il was a huge fan of cinema and so the people of North Korea have become avid moviegoers. The deceased Dear Leader has a certain respect for this medium, allegedly calling it the “most powerful for educating the masses”. He went as far as to write an essay called “Theory of Cinematic Art” in which he explains that “it is cinema's duty to turn people into true communists”. For him, film was “a means of eradicating capitalist elements”. It is in fact an effective means of diffusing propaganda, especially towards the youth. That is why there is a state-run movie studio in Pyongyang. Kim Jong Il was said to have thousands of films in his personal library and to have 7 theaters built exclusively for him in Pyongyang. Apart from the main studio (Korean Film Studio), other studios have been built in the periphery of the capital. Kim Jong Il apparently shot a movie about the founder of North Korea, his father Kim Il-Sung, and proclaimed himself a “genius of cinema”! He even had famous South Korean director, Shin Sang-Ok, and his wife kidnapped in 1978 by the North Korean secret service. He then ordered the famous director from South Korea to make movies for him, providing him with all the money he needed to produce them. He directed more than 20 movies, many of them propaganda. The director was then jailed for having tried to escape. They couple finally managed to successfully flee in 1986. The following year, the Pyongyang Film Festival of Non-Aligned and Other Developing Countries began.

  • KCNA FILE NO. 18 the Proposed Agreement, This KCNA Story Serves As a Reminder to Both North and South Koreans of the History Between Themselves and Japan
    SINO-NK.COM KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY FILE NO. 18 1 July 2012 –14 July 2012 Analysis: Of the 21 stories published about China by KCNA for this two- week period, 14 relating in a specific way the relationship between China and the DPRK. As with KCNA File No. 17, this latest batch of stories seems focused on ensuring both North Korean and foreign readers are reminded of the strength of the traditional alliance with China, the reliable safety net. In addition to the usual delegations, coverage was granted to Mt. Chilbo as a tourist destination for Chinese citizens, and stories about commemoration of DPRK leaders by Chinese citizens. Undoubtedly the important topic covered was the celebrations surrounding the 51st anniversary of the signing of the DPRK-China treaty. Four stories were published devoted solely to the coverage of this important event, which among other things detailed remarks by Liu Hongcai, the Chinese ambassador to North Korea, at a banquet. In remarks by Choe Chang Sik, the North Korean official stated that “It was the last instructions of General Secretary Kim Jong Il […] to boost the DPRK-China friendly and cooperative relations.” It seems that this anniversary could not have come at a better time for the DPRK as it continues to find itself in disputes where the presence of China as an ally has greatly been to North Korea’s benefit. Finally, a three stories were published about the rave reviews the DPRK’s opera “The Flower Girl” is receiving from theatregoers in China. This unusual amount of coverage for an ostensibly non-political story might have been utilized by KCNA and the DPRK leadership to demonstrate the increasing cultural exchange between the two allies.

  • Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou
    Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Yurou Zhong All rights reserved ABSTRACT Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Yurou Zhong This dissertation examines the modern Chinese script crisis in twentieth-century China. It situates the Chinese script crisis within the modern phenomenon of phonocentrism – the systematic privileging of speech over writing. It depicts the Chinese experience as an integral part of a worldwide crisis of non-alphabetic scripts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It places the crisis of Chinese characters at the center of the making of modern Chinese language, literature, and culture. It investigates how the script crisis and the ensuing script revolution intersect with significant historical processes such as the Chinese engagement in the two World Wars, national and international education movements, the Communist revolution, and national salvation. Since the late nineteenth century, the Chinese writing system began to be targeted as the roadblock to literacy, science and democracy. Chinese and foreign scholars took the abolition of Chinese script to be the condition of modernity. A script revolution was launched as the Chinese response to the script crisis. This dissertation traces the beginning of the crisis to 1916, when Chao Yuen Ren published his English article “The Problem of the Chinese Language,” sweeping away all theoretical oppositions to alphabetizing the Chinese script. This was followed by two major movements dedicated to the task of eradicating Chinese characters: First, the Chinese Romanization Movement spearheaded by a group of Chinese and international scholars which was quickly endorsed by the Guomingdang (GMD) Nationalist government in the 1920s; Second, the dissident Chinese Latinization Movement initiated in the Soviet Union and championed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 1930s.

  • Diagnosis and Assessment of North Korea's Sociocultural Sector in 2012
    International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 20, No. 2, 2011, 91–120 Diagnosis and Assessment of North Korea’s Sociocultural Sector in 2012 Young Sun Jeon In 2011, with the death of Kim Jong-il, North Korea faced the exigent task of establishing a stable successor regime around Kim Jong-un. At the same time, the regime was presented with the tasks of rapidly settling the Kim Jong-un regime, minimizing the problems that may arise during the accelerated, short-term power succession process due to Kim Jong-un’s untested ability, and presenting citizens with a vision of the power succession and sense of its validity. Politically, the Kim Jong-un regime’s power succession should not be a problem, as North Korea is a society based on the collective transfer of power. The revolutionary generation who participated in founding the socialist Chosun nation and their descendants had their own stake in politics and passed power down through the generations. Kim Jong- un comes from the storied family line of Baekdu Mountain and Mangyongdae, and thus he has the highest stake in power. Members of the revolutionary generation who have not made any noteworthy mistakes are guaranteed spots in the succession regime. Since instability in the Kim Jong-un regime translates directly to collective anxiety, the revolutionary generation will participate in ensuring a stable power succession. The tasks for Kim Jong-un is to persuade North Koreans of his vision for the future and change their quality of life. In the short term, the new regime will promote the idea of the leader’s eternal life by ruling in the name of Kim Jong-il’s precepts and emphasizing “the sole bloodline” passed down from Kim Il Sung via Kim Jong-il.
