THE MEMORIALIZATION OF HISTORICAL MEMORIES IN EAST ASIA by Bo Ram Yi B.A. May 2009, James Madison University MPA August 2011, Old Dominion University A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Old Dominion University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY INTERNATIONAL STUDIES OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY August 2017 Approved by: Regina Karp (Director) David Earnest (Member) Peter Schulman (Member) ABSTRACT THE MEMORIALIZATION OF HISTORICAL MEMORIES IN EAST ASIA Bo Ram Yi Old Dominion University, 2017 Director: Dr. Regina Karp East Asia is embroiled in one of the most titillating historical memory wars in present- day politics. A highly complex and intricate matter, conflict over history is the underpinning strain behind political and social relations between China, South Korea and Japan. Mired by the past, tension often rises from conflict over the Yasakuni Shrine visits, comfort women and the textbook matter. This dissertation will examine how China, South Korea and Japan maintain their historical memory narratives. Through a case study method, each state is analyzed through five factors: commemoration, rhetoric, education, compensation and punishment. Overall, China and South Korea have maintained relatively stable historical memory narratives while Japan has exhibited a rather volatile one. Further, historical memory is significant to political leaders and will likely be part of trilateral relations for the foreseeable future. In spite of it all, minor advancements have been made in the overall historical memory war. iii Copyright, 2017, by Bo Ram Yi, All Rights Reserved. iv In memory of Harmonee, who always espoused the importance of education. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the support of numerous individuals.

  • South Korea Section 3
    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • 3 Nami MAKINO.Indd
    29 The Place which Sustains the Imagination of a “Nation” : The Seoul National Cemetery Nami MAKINO Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Introduction The Seoul National Cemetery, called Hyeonchungwong in Korean, which is the fi rst national cemetery in South Korea, is located in the middle of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. This cemetery (which has symmetrical position with the Ministry of National Defense separated the Hangang River) was established in 1955 as a national military cemetery for glorifying the fallen soldiers who had been died in Korean War, which had been fought between South and North Korea in 1950-1953. Ten years later, it was elevated to the status of national cemetery in 1965. The site of this cemetery is 1,430,000m2 (343 acres) and there 171,450 persons are enshrined as patriot martyrs. Approximately 104,000 soldiers whose bodies were not found are enshrined with memorial tablets in the Memorial Hall and 7000 unknown soldiers whose bodies were found are buried in the grave area of the cemetery. National military cemeteries were born at fi rst in Europe where citizens began to have more important roles as volunteers than mercenaries who hired out as fi ghters in the wars. The First World War, which was the fi rst modern war in the world, brought the dead of unprecedented 13,000,000. Because the most of the dead of this war consisted of volunteers and soldiers who were conscripted from every corner of a country by force, that is, they were citizens and members of a “nation”, so their suffering should be healed and their death should be regarded as meaningful death in order to justify the war.

  • The Commemoration of Gwanju
    The Commemoration of Gwangju: Who is the Enemy of the State? Hang KIM (University of Tokyo) There can be nothing more instructive towards loyalty and justice than will be the memory, while it lasts, of that war. – Thomas Hobbes 1. Through Burying, Distinguish the Enemy from the Friend The modern nation states have sustained their lives through the reproduction of the historical memories originated in various wars in order to secure their nations. In that sense, a national cemetery has functioned as an institution that converts a death compelled by the state into a sacrifice dedicated for the nation. At the heart of this logic lies the distinction between them and us, that is, the enemy and the friend. For instance, the Yasukuni Shrine, which will be analyzed by Professor Tetsuya Takahashi tomorrow, has shaped the historical memory of modern Japan. It was established for the commemoration of the fallen soldiers for the Meiji reformation government in civil war occurred in 1867. This commemoration enabled the Meiji state to define the troops of Bakuhu or the former government of Japan as nation’s enemy. Since then, the latter has been excluded from the narrative of Japan’s historical memory. Thus, the primordial function of the Yasukuni Shrine for the state is to distinguish the enemy from the friend with incessantly reproducing the historical memory of Japan as a nation. Then, what if the friend and the enemy are simultaneously commemorated by the very same nation state? The contemporary history of South Korea tells us that such a paradoxical situation may exist.

  • The Role of Biblical Narratives in the Anti-Japanese Movement of the Korean Church: Focused on the March 1St Independence Movement of 1919
    KOREA PRESBYTERIAN JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY Vol. 51 No. 4 The Role of Biblical Narratives in the Anti-Japanese Movement of the Korean Church: Focused on the March 1st Independence Movement of 1919 BYUN Chang Uk, Ph.D. Professor, Missiology Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary, South Korea I. Introduction II. The Socio-Political Milieu of the Anti-Japanese Movement III. The Mission Policy of Neutrality IV. Role of Biblical Narratives in the Anti-Japanese Movement V. Concluding Remarks Korea Presbyterian Journal of Theology Vol. 51 No. 4 (2019. 11), 117-135 DOI: 10.15757/kpjt.2019.51.4.006 118 KOREA PRESBYTERIAN JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY Vol. 51 No. 4 Abstract This study provides a way to examine the role of biblical narratives in the independence movement of the Korean church during the Japanese occupation. From the outset, the Korean Christians under the leadership of western (mostly American) missionaries were educated not to participate in the socio-political situation. Despite the missionaries’ urges, these Christians staged the anti-Japanese movement for the sake of national independence. The Koreans applied the Bible stories directly to their context. For example, Korean Christians regarded Exodus as a powerful biblical account and equated Moses’ struggle against Pharaoh with that of their own against the Japanese. The Old Testament stories describing the deliverance of Israel engendered national consciousness and were taken to heart as promising the deliverance of Korea. This kind of liberating ethos is well expressed in the Tokripdan Tonggomun (Notification Statement of the Korean Independent League) of 1919. Christianity was the hope that gave the Koreans the strength to with- stand Japanese hegemony.

  • Moral Development and the March First Movement
    S/N Korean Humanities, Volume 5 Issue 1 (March 2019) https://doi.org/10.17783/IHU.2019.5.1.15 pp.15~46∣ISSN 2384-0668 / E-ISSN 2384-0692 ⓒ 2019 IHU S/N Korean Humanities Volume5 Issue1 Moral Development and the March First Movement Hope Elizabeth May1) Central Michigan University/Kyung Hee University Abstract This paper offers a discussion of the March First Movement of 1919 (MFM) through the lens of moral development. Central to the discussion is the moral development of the most well-known personality associated with the MFM, Yu Kwan-sun (1902-1920). After discussing Yu’s own moral development, I connect this discussion to another important but less well-known figure associated with the MFM, Lee Sŭnghun (1864-1930). As a chief organizer of the MFM, Lee Sŭnghun made it possible for Yu Kwan-sun to both display and further develop her virtues and moral energies during the MFM. A discussion of Lee Sŭnghun also enables us to appreciate the thread of moral energy that was spinning prior the MFM, and which blossomed into the MFM in large part due to his efforts. I close by briefly discussing another participant in the MFM, Louise Yim (Im Yŏngsin) (1899-1977). Like Yu Kwan-sun, Yim was imprisoned and tortured for her participation in the MFM. Unlike Yu, however, Yim survived and dedicated her adult life to the independence of her country and the education of its citizens. A deeper consideration of the individuals involved in the MFM can connect us in the present to their virtues and moral energies.

  • A Comparison of Student Activists
    A COMPARISON OF STUDENT ACTIVISTS GRADE: Middle and High School AUTHOR: John Ciferni SUBJECT: World History TIME REQUIRED: Three class periods (50 minutes) OBJECTIVES: 1. To understand the role economic, political, social and cultural changes Korea experienced under Japanese occupation between 1910-1945. 2. Students will be able to explore the themes of nationalism and activism and understand how these two concepts can lead to freedom and oppression. 3. Compare and contrast the role of female activist Yu Gwan Sun of the March 1st, 1919 movement to that of Chai Ling, a student leader during the Tiananmen Square protests. 4. Apply knowledge of student activism in Korea to other areas in the world in determining where activism can both combat and cause oppression. MATERIAL REQUIRED: Handout 1: Korea under Japanese Rule Four different colored highlighters Handout 2: March First Movement Venn diagram to compare Yu Gwan Sun to Chai Ling Handout 3: Yu Gwan-Sun Article Handout 4: Interview with Chai Ling at Tiananmen Square Handout 5: Chai Ling, former Tiananmen leader, has become a Christian. BACKGROUND or INTRODUCTION: A major focal point of many global history courses is the recurring theme of liberty vs. authority. One of the major components of this theme is the concept of activism. How often do your students ask you “Why do we need to know history?” My guess is that this happens all too often. When students learn the relevance of activism and what students have accomplished in order evoke political and social change, many may become empowered to inspire change in their local communities.
