Chaebol is a term (in Korean) for South Korean business conglomerate(s) that operates multiple corporations in diverse industries with tight ownership and management control by a fam- ily (Kang, M. 1996). Chaebol’s indiscreet borrowings from interna- tional lenders in the 1990s were mainly held responsible for the national financial crisis of 1997–1998 (Kong, T. 2000). 2. Social policy was for the first time formalized into the organiza- tional structure of the government during the Roh Moo-Hyun presidency as Roh had been harshly criticized for neglecting social policy concerns during the early phase of his term.

  • The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature
    1 The History of Division in the Conception of National Literature Seong-su Kim (Sungkyunkwan University) 1. The purpose of this article is to analyze the how the conception of the term Minjok Moonhak (national literature) has been perceived differently in South and North Korea. In other words, this article will examine how the modern concept of ‘Moonhak,’ Korean equivalent for ‘literature,’ which was shared by both Koreas during the colonial period, is now perceived differently due to ideological differences under the ‘socialist vs. liberal democracy’ system on the Korean Peninsula after division. The discussion of the division of the conception of national literature is conversely based on the premise that both Koreas have historically shared the same concept. Notwithstanding the system of division, which has lasted for more than 70 years, the speech community composed of spoken (Korean/Joseon- eo) or written (Hangul/Joseon-mun) language 1 is still viable; each language does not require interpretation and translation. This is fortunate, given that there is a high possibility that the Korean Peninsula will be reunited someday. When discussing the national literature of South and North Korea, academic discussion will be impossible if one side is consistently regarded as orthodox and disparages the other. If each country does not recognize the value of the writers and works of its counterpart because the two Koreas are caught up in the realms of ideology, Korean cultural heritage that encompasses both North and South Korea will be greatly reduced. From the perspective of Conceptual History [Begriffsgeschichte], which historically analyzes certain concepts and terms, ‘Korean literature and Joseon literature’ are not synonyms for ‘national literature,’ but are rather antonyms.

  • The Next Growth Strategy for Hallyu 79
    Lee & Kim / The Next Growth Strategy for Hallyu 79 THE NEXT GROWTH STRATEGY FOR HALLYU A Comparative Analysis of Global Entertainment Firms Yeon W. Lee Seoul School of Integrated Science and Technology [email protected] Kyuchan Kim Korea Culture and Tourism Institute [email protected] Abstract Previous policy approaches on Hallyu have been focused on the role of government engagement, particularly in fostering diversity and equal business opportunities for small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs). However, a more strategic approach to the cultural industries should be implemented by carefully examining the role of the private sector, particularly the role of large enterprises (LEs). his is important because LEs have an overarching and fundamentally diferentiated role in increasing the size of industry through their expansive value-creating activities and diversiied business areas. his study focuses on the complementary roles of SMEs and LEs in facilitating the growth of Hallyu by bringing in the perspective of value chain diversiication and the modiied value chain framework for the ilm industry. By conducting a comparative analysis of the global entertainment irms in the US, China, and Japan, this study reveals how LEs in the global market enter and explore new industries within culture and continue to enhance their competitiveness. By forming a business ecosystem through linking their value-creating activities as the platform of network, this study looks into the synergistic role among enterprises of diferent size and scale and suggests that Korea’s policy for Hallyu should reorient toward a new growth strategy that encourages the integrative network of irms where the value activities of LEs serve as the platform for convergence.

Rain or shine, however, the preparations for AKSE activities continue. On 21 August, 2008 the Fifth Korean Studies Convention for Graduate Students in Europe will begin, this year to be held in Leiden. Originally this was not an AKSE activity, the graduate students themselves taking charge of the entire organisation together with local teachers. This will not radically change, but AKSE will every year at the end of July include a request for funding of the convention of the following year to the Korea Foundation in its request for other activities and when necessary encourage graduate students to organise a convention. This will facilitate the work of the graduate students who are organising next year’s conference and promote continuity. Preparations are also under way for the 2009 AKSE Biennial Conference in Leiden.

  • Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu
    Volume 15 | Issue 14 | Number 4 | Article ID 5056 | Jul 15, 2017 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Notes Toward an Archaeology of Hallyu Mark Morris Abstract The first consciousness that a new Korean cultural wave –hallyu-- was in motion began to take shape in different forms and at different times in the rest of East Asia. It was the craze for Korean TV drama that represented a sudden apparition of something new from South Korea. Before long, however, this wave grew bigger and far more complex than anyone might have predicted, including Korean pop music and films, animation, online games, smartphones, fashion, cosmetics, etc. There have been resistances to this inundation notably in Japan, a country where several earlier mini-hallyu now seem long forgotten. Keywords Hallyu, tv drama, Korean pop, manga, film I want our nation to be the most beautiful in the world. By this I do not mean the most powerful nation. The only thing that I desire Kim Ku, 1876–1949 in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture. This is because the power of culture both makes us happy and gives happiness to Kim Ku (1876-1949), in this rightly famous call others. to culture published not too long before his violent death, went on to articulate a vision of a Kim Ku, Baekbeom ilji (1947) Korea in which Koreans would not only be free for the first time in a long while to be Korean, Introduction but would as well project their culture out into the world. As he put it: ‘I wish our country to be not one that imitates others, but rather the source, goal, and model of this new and advanced culture.

Fifty-five percent of those were acquire through donations, which have helped to enrich the collection while overcoming the constraints of a limited acquisition budget. 1 / 8 The modern and contemporary art works donated by the family of the late Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee is the largest in terms of its size. It is also very significant in that it has enabled the artworks to be enjoyed by a wider public by adding enormous qualitative and quantitative advancements to the MMCA's collection.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE U.S. AND KOREAN FILM INDUSTRIES: HISTORY, STRUCTURE, AND FINANCE A Thesis in Media Studies by Patrick D. Baxter © 2008 Patrick D. Baxter Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2008 This thesis of Patrick D. Baxter was reviewed and approved* by the following: Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of the Department of Telecommunications Thesis Adviser Amit Schejter Assistant Professor of the Department of Telecommunications C. Michael Elavsky Assistant Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies John S. Nichols Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This project is a comparative case-study of the U.S. and Korean (South Korea) film industries along historical, structural, and financial dimensions. The genesis of this thesis came through an overall fascination with the film industry globally as nations compete and cooperate with each other, as well as contend with the dominance of the U.S. film industry. It uses the industrial organization model focusing primarily on "market structure." Further, it applies A.J. Scott’s bipartite (major, independent) and tripartite (major, subsidiary, independent) models of the U.S. film industry. The analysis is mainly descriptive being informed by historical development. To elaborate on market structure, samples of studio/mainstream and independent films were collected in both the U.S. and Korean film industries. The samples were analyzed along production company affiliation, distribution affiliation, sources of funding, and other elements.

  • South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation
    The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation By Jisung Catherine Kim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair Professor Mark Sandberg Professor Elaine Kim Fall 2013 The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation © 2013 by Jisung Catherine Kim Abstract The Intimacy of Distance: South Korean Cinema and the Conditions of Capitalist Individuation by Jisung Catherine Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair In The Intimacy of Distance, I reconceive the historical experience of capitalism’s globalization through the vantage point of South Korean cinema. According to world leaders’ discursive construction of South Korea, South Korea is a site of “progress” that proves the superiority of the free market capitalist system for “developing” the so-called “Third World.” Challenging this contention, my dissertation demonstrates how recent South Korean cinema made between 1998 and the first decade of the twenty-first century rearticulates South Korea as a site of economic disaster, ongoing historical trauma and what I call impassible “transmodernity” (compulsory capitalist restructuring alongside, and in conflict with, deep-seated tradition). Made during the first years after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the films under consideration here visualize the various dystopian social and economic changes attendant upon epidemic capitalist restructuring: social alienation, familial fragmentation, and widening economic division.

  • Existence Beyond Condition This Text Is Excerpted from a Forthcoming
    Existence Beyond Condition This text is excerpted from a forthcoming anthology of newly translated writings by Kishio Suga, edited by Andrew Maerkle and published by Skira Editore and Blum & Poe. Introduction by Andrew Maerkle In 1970 Bijutsu Techō dedicated the featured content of its February issue to the voices of emerging artists. Subjects included Susumu Koshimizu, Lee Ufan, Katsuhiko Narita, Nobuo Sekine, Katsuro Yoshida, and Suga, who all appeared together in a roundtable discussion. 1 The year prior, in 1969, these artists had made their mark at major exhibitions, such as the 9th Contemporary Art Exhibition of Japan at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the annual Trends in Contemporary Art exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto. Not participating in either, Suga was the lone exception, although his solo exhibition in October 1969 at Tamura Gallery, where he presented the work Parallel Strata, caught the eye of influential critics such as Toshiaki Minemura. Indeed, Suga was on the cusp of his breakthrough. Later in 1970, he would be included in Trends in Contemporary Art in Kyoto, as well as another important annual survey, the Artists Today exhibition organized by the Yokohama Civic Art Gallery, and August 1970: Aspects of New Japanese Art at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Additionally, he won the grand prize at the 5th Japan Art Festival exhibition, which traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in New York under the title Contemporary Japanese Art. It was a sign of things to come, then, that Suga was chosen to contribute one of two long essays that led the roundtable, the other being Lee Ufan’s “In Search of Encounter.”2 Full of dense rhetoric, “Existence beyond Condition” is one of Suga’s most challenging texts to unpack.
