  • Joseon Literati's Righteous Principles
    STUDIA ORIENTALNE 2021, nr 2 (20) ISSN 2299-1999 https://doi.org/10.15804/so2021209 Haesung Lee1 Joseon Literati’s Righteous Principles (Yiriron) as a Moral Practice in the Political Realities – Its Meaning and Limitation in a Historical Context Introduction:Dohak – the Joseon Neo-Confucianism Neo-Confucianism flourished as a central ideology and absolute social order during the Joseon dynasty (朝鮮 1392–1910). “Neo-Confucianism” is a gen- eral term commonly applied to the revival of the various strands of Confucian philosophy during the Chinese Sòng dynasty (宋 960–1280 C.E.), re-exam- ined and reconstructed by Zhu Xi (朱熹, 1130–1200 AD.) It provided Koreans with philosophical speculation, moral and social norms, and a most strongly functional lifestyle. However, the terms of Joseon Neo-Confucianism con- note some specific characteristics, compared to classic Confucianism and the Chinese version of “Neo-Confucianism”2. The term of Dohak (道學 Chin. Dàoxué) – Dao (Way) Learning – already existed in classical Confucian context. However, in Korea, it is generally called Dohak (道學), which concerns Neo-Confucianism of the Joseon dynasty in a holistic scale. Thus, a proper understanding of the term Dohak is essential to comprehend the essence and particular characteristics of Korean Neo-Con- fucianism. Among the similar terms which refer to Neo-Confucianism, such as Jujahak (朱子學 Chin. Zhūzǐxué: Zhu Xi’s Science) and Jeongjuhak (程朱學 1 University of Wrocław, Poland, ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5185-3586, e-mail: [email protected]. 2 The Korean Neo-Confucianism 1) was condensed rather into an anthropological, centripetal, and inward way such as the “Four-Seven” theory and Human Nature; 2) pursued to seek religious an ethical legitimacy under the name of Confucian teaching, even beyond logical rationality; 3) put much more emphasis on Righteousness and Fidelity in a macroscale; 4) clarified the Righteousness as a theoretic speculation on moral propriety.

  • The Dmz Tour Course Guidebook
    THE DMZ TOUR COURSE GUIDEBOOK From the DMZ to the PLZ (Peace and Life Zone) According to the Korean Armistice Agreement of 1953, the cease-fire line was established from the mouth of Imjingang River in the west to Goseong, Gangwon-do in the east. The DMZ refers to a demilitarized zone where no military army or weaponry is permitted, 2km away from the truce line on each side of the border. • Establishment of the demilitarized zone along the 248km-long (on land) and 200km-long (in the west sea) ceasefire line • In terms of land area, it accounts for 0.5% (907km2) of the total land area of the Korean Peninsula The PLZ refers to the border area including the DMZ. Yeoncheon- gun (Gyeonggi-do), Paju-si, Gimpo-si, Ongjin-gun and Ganghwa-gun (Incheon-si), Cheorwon-gun (Gangwon-do), Hwacheon-gun, Yanggu- gun, Inje-gun and Goseong-gun all belong to the PLZ. It is expected that tourist attractions, preservation of the ecosystem and national unification will be realized here in the PLZ under the theme of “Peace and Life.” The Road to Peace and Life THE DMZ TOUR COURSE GUIDEBOOK The DMZ Tour Course Section 7 Section 6 Section 5 Section 4 Section 3 Section 2 Section 1 DMZ DMZ DMZ Goseong Civilian Controlled Line Civilian Controlled Line Cheorwon DMZ Yanggu Yeoncheon Hwacheon Inje Civilian Controlled Line Paju DMZ Ganghwa Gimpo Prologue 06 Section 1 A trail from the East Sea to the mountain peak in the west 12 Goseong•Inje 100km Goseong Unification Observatory → Hwajinpo Lake → Jinburyeong Peak → Hyangrobong Peak → Manhae Village → Peace & Life Hill Section 2 A place where traces of war and present-day life coexist 24 Yanggu 60km War Memoria → The 4th Infiltration Tunnel → Eulji Observatory → Mt.

  • Japanese Residents in Korea and the Modernization of Chosŏn
    International Journal of Korean History(Vol.10, Dec. 2006) 95 Japanese Residents in Korea and the Modernization of Chosŏn* –A Preliminary analysis based on the case of the conflicts related to the Panggongnyŏng (防穀令, Grain Export Prohibition Order)– Yamada Ryosuke∗∗ Introduction The debate over the issue of ‘colonial modernity’, in which Korean academics have occupied the central role, has in recent years become increasingly active. As a detailed analysis of all the aspects of this debate is beyond the scope of this study, the focus herein is on a recently published book which was produced as a result of a joint research project between Korea and Japan. This particular work assumes a unique standpoint on the issue of ‘colonial modernity’ in that unlike the existing positive view of ‘modernization in colony’, it, therefore, attempts to raise awareness of the problematic issues incorporated in such ‘modernity’.1 The new standpoint on colonial modernity introduced in the above- mentioned book represents an attempt to relativize the heretofore positively evaluated ‘modernity’ or ‘modernization’, which in turn has been based on an assessment of ‘modernization in colony’ rooted in the * The author would like to express his gratitude to The Japan-Korea Cultural Foundation.

In the Infinite Challenge show, the personae release pent-up energy through endless challenges, sustain positive attitudes towards life by wiping away tears through laughter, have fun with playful deception games or word play, act like childish fools (pabo) and pranksters (kŏndal) who indulge their unbound desires, and interact with participatory audiences in an open structure. Coupled with previous research confirming that traditional communication styles shape modes of expression in contemporary media content, we believe this study can provide empirical evidence to substantiate the creative potential of local traditional narrative in indigenizing global media programs. Keywords: media narrative, reality TV show, global-local nexus, sinmyŏng, Korean traditional performances Infinite Challenge (Muhan tojŏn) is a popular reality TV show that has aired every Saturday evening in South Korea since 2005.

  • Cultural Policy and National Culture Discourse in the 1960S and 1970S
    Cultural Policy and National Culture Discourse in the 1960s and 1970s Oh Myungseok* (In lieu of an abstract) Bak Jeonghui (Park Chunghee) came to power in the Republic of Korea through a military coup on May 16, 1961, after a short-lived period of democracy brought by the April Revolution of the previous year. Park’s regime can be characterized as one of developmental dictatorship. It made economic development the national priority, while cementing an authoritarian political system known as the Yusin (Renewal) regime. This study aims to determine the nature of cultural policy during this period. It does not address the entire character of Korean culture in the 1960s and 1970s; rather, by focusing on government cultural policy, it tries to reveal the ideology of national culture that the state attempted to form. Among the important agents of cultural production, i.e. market, civil society, and the state, I focus on the state. Of course, these agents did not act in mutual isolation. They influenced and were influenced by each other, and it is right to regard the state’s cultural policy as often conflicting with market’s pop culture and the people’s (or, subaltern) culture movement supported by civil activists, or to see these agents as interpenetrative. These questions, however, are not discussed in earnest here. 1.
