Korea University Korea University 2017-2018 Spring Exchange Report OR Sin Yee Sindy | MARK & OM Monthly Activity Log February I arrived Seoul during the period of 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, which is 21st FeBruary to Be exact. An orientation seminar was held on the next day, i.e. 22th FeB, which is organized By Korea University Buddy Association (KUBA), introducing us the university campus, Korean Buddies, class registration procedure, Alien registration ca rd application process etc. Another orientation session was held By Korea University Business School (KUBS), which helps us to understand more on its history, culture Background, syllabus as well as locations of Business related lecture halls. A welcoming party is held at 술집(Korean Bar) right after the session, where KU Business students taught us popular Korean drinking games. I did not travel and play much in FeBruary as I was mainly settling things in goshitel (my accommodation). March On 3rd-4th of March, I went to an MT (similar to orientation camps in Hong Kong) in Ui- Dong 우이동계곡 held By KUBS Buddies, where I got a chance to make friends with exchange students that came from all around the world. We played lots of interesting Korean group games and tried Jajjangmyeon (炸醬麵) for the first time. School as well as add-drop period soon started on the 5th, and the first week of school was fine since everything is more or less the same as HKUST, e.g. Korean professors first started By introducing syllabus and then proceeded to teaching in the first lecture. I joined my KUBA Korean Buddies for lunch every Tuesday and dinner every Thursday, hence we soon Became good friends and hang out together often. They Brought me to lots of famous spots in Seoul such as N Seoul Tower, Lotte World and even taught us the cheering practices as well as slogans in Korea University. At the end of March, I went to Jeonju (全州) with my HKUST friends and foreigners living in the same goshitel. We lived in Hanuk (韓 屋 - Korean traidition houses), travelled the Hanuk villages, tried the famous Jeonju BiBimBab (拌飯 – mixed rice) and wore HanBok (韓服 – Korean ancient dresses) there. It is a gorgeous city with nice views, rich cultural contents and friendly people, which makes it a must-go place during exchange. 1 April From 30th March to 1st April, I went to Busan with my UST friends in order to join Jinhae cherry Blossom festival 2018. It is my first time to see cherry Blossom and it turned out to Be gorgeous. There is no douBt that everyone can take fabulous shoots while walking on the streets, as cherry Blossoms are everywhere! The only thing that I dislike is the crowdedness – therefore avoiding to go on weekends would Be a wise choice. On the other way round, Gamcheon cultural village (감천문화마을-甘川文化村) is not as pretty as I thought it was. Houses are painted in various colors, But they were not as awesome as it was shown in pictures (filter is needed if you want to take a good picture haha). Moreover, seafood in Busan is way tastier and fresher than that in Seoul, which is very worth to try. In the middle of April, it was the midterm week of spring semester. Midterms were held in class and each lasts for 1 hour and 15 minuets, which means they were really packed. In my case, I had 3 midterms consecutively on Monday as I usually take 3 lectures on every Mon, Wed cycles. (Hence well planning of timetable is needed.) After the midterms, I went to visit GyeongBokgung and Changdeokgung Palace with my KUBA friends due to the nice weather. By the late April, Seoul’s temperature is neither too low nor high, which makes it a perfect timing to visit outdoor tourist spots. As a history lover, I really enjoyed the tour as my Korean friends explained the historical Backgrounds in great details. May After visiting most of the tourists spots in past months, I started to explore local events at the Beginning of May. First, I went to “The Show” and “Music Bank”, which are two famous k-pop music programs where Korean groups perform weekly. I get to see the live performance of various famous Bands such as Shinee, Pristin V, G-IDLE etc. Lining up is not needed as I Buy a ticket for “The Show” (~65000 won) and I am a fan cluB memBer which allows me to get into “Music Bank” right away. Second, I went to Bukhansan (北漢山) for hiking with nine of the KUBA Buddies. It was quite tough as the height of mountain top － Baekundae(白雲台) is 836.5m, which takes us around 6 hours to finish the entire hike. The view on top is very stunning and Beautiful, hence I sincerely recommend outdoor enthusiasts to pay here a visit. 2 May is in fact the month of University Festivals (대동제-大學祝祭), which means all universities in Seoul will invite k-pop singers to perform, demonstrate their school chants / dance, gather to stay up and drink etc. I went to three of them, namely that of Konkuk University (建大), Hanyang University (漢陽大) and Korea University (高麗大), which I get to see Twice, Blackpink, Highlight, Momoland, Zion-T, Mamamoo, Hyolyn from Sistar, PSY, Winner, Chungha etc. The festival in Korea University is called Ipselenti, which lasts from 1pm to 10pm. KU students gathered in the university sports ground, all dressed in red (colour of KU), put on special make up, sing and dance together throughout the day. The atmosphere was incrediBly crazy yet fun, given that 30 thousand people cheering simultaneously in the same venue. All in all, Ipselenti is really the Best event to Boost your sense of Belonging and experience the viBes of Korean youth. Trust me, it’s the most unforgettable event throughout the whole semester. On 17th May, me and my HKUST friends also did join the International Student Festival and were responsiBle for Hong Kong Booth. We provided traditional Chinese Tang Yuan with Peanuts (糖不甩) and Hong Kong style waffles (格仔餅) served with iced lemon tea in our Booth. Moreover, we offered a Chinese Calligraphy name-writing service which successfully attracted lots of foreigners. It is a tiring But rewarding experience indeed. June On 1st of June, I went to Seoul Children’s Grand Park with KUBA friends in order to watch various animals. The numBer of animal species living there is way higher than what I had expected, which makes it worth to visit. Also I went to Incheon city for 2 days Before final exams and visited China Town, Songwol-dong Fairytale Village etc. The city has lots of nice cafes as well as restaurants, thus it is an ideal place for a short yet relaxing escape from Seoul. Final exams were held in the middle of June, and again, the exam schedule is set according to the lecture timetable. Hence, I finished 5 exams within 26 hours, three on Monday evening and two on Tuesday morning. It is truly exhausting so well planning of timetable is highly recommended. After final period, KUBA immediately held a farewell party on 21st June as lots of exchange students were leaving on the very next day. Farewell video was played and lots of us couldn’t help But shed tears, it was indeed my honor to have them accompanying me throughout the whole semester. Lastly, I stayed in Korea University till late July since I applied for free Korean language courses and finally arrived HK on 21st of July. 3 General Exchange Information。 1) Visa Procedures a. D-2 Visa For Hong Kong citizens, you have to get a visa once you wish to stay in Korea for more than 90 days. For exchange students, it is a must for you to go Korea EmBassy and apply for D-2 Visa Before you left. Here is a list regarding the D-2 visa application for your Better preparation: Certificate of Admission issued By the university in Korea Exchange Program confirmation letter issued By mother university Agreement on exchange program Between two universities Latest academic report/transcript Financial status proof Personal account: make sure there is more than 25,000 HKD in latest 3 months Parents account: documents proving the relations Between you and your parent is needed (parent’s ID card and your Birth certificate) Student card ID card Passport Coloured passport photo (35x45mm) Visa Application form B. Alien Registration Card Details will Be announced during KUBA’s orientation ceremony held in FeBruary. 2) Orientation Activities As mentioned in my FeBruary Log, there are mainly two orientations that Business students have to attend, which are held By KUBA and KUBS respectively. Health and medical treatment introduction, course registration details, Alien Registration procedures and Bank account opening will all Be mentioned in KUBA’s orientation. Also, you will get to meet your KUBA group and Korean Buddies at the same time. For the KUBS orientation, Business school will mainly introduce their up-coming events and KUBS cultures. In my opinion, the orientation of KUBA is much useful than that of KUBS. For your reference, here is this semester’s orientation schedule of KUBA: 4 3) International Services & Activities For any international affairs, you can visit the GloBal Service Centre whenever you need help. They are responsiBle for student card making, Bank account making, language Buddy program matching, course registration, transcript confirmation etc. GSC will mainly communicate with exchange students By using email, so make sure you don’t miss any of them! 4) Accommodations a.

As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films.

  • Conceptually Androgynous
    Umeå Center for Gender Studies Conceptually androgynous The production and commodification of gender in Korean pop music Petter Almqvist-Ingersoll Master Thesis in Gender Studies Spring 2019 Thesis supervisor: Johanna Overud, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Stemming from a recent surge in articles related to Korean masculinities, and based in a feminist and queer Marxist theoretical framework, this paper asks how gender, with a specific focus on what is referred to as soft masculinity, is constructed through K-pop performances, as well as what power structures are in play. By reading studies on pan-Asian masculinities and gender performativity - taking into account such factors as talnori and kkonminam, and investigating conceptual terms flower boy, aegyo, and girl crush - it forms a baseline for a qualitative research project. By conducting qualitative interviews with Swedish K-pop fans and performing semiotic analysis of K-pop music videos, the thesis finds that although K-pop masculinities are perceived as feminine to a foreign audience, they are still heavily rooted in a heteronormative framework. Furthermore, in investigating the production of gender performativity in K-pop, it finds that neoliberal commercialism holds an assertive grip over these productions and are thus able to dictate ‘conceptualizations’ of gender and project identities that are specifically tailored to attract certain audiences. Lastly, the study shows that these practices are sold under an umbrella of ‘loyalty’ in which fans are incentivized to consume in order to show support for their idols – in which the concept of desire plays a significant role.

    5th NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS SUMMIT July 18-20, 2019 EXHIBITORS Venue Four Points by Sheraton Los Angeles International Airport 9750 Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA Keynote Talks Normal and Abnormal Spatial, Temporal, and Category Learning and Memory Consolidation: Multiple Roles of the Hippocampus Stephen Grossberg Center for Adaptive Systems, Graduate Program in Cognitive and Neural Systems, Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering Boston University, Boston, MA Abstract This talk provides a self-contained summary of neural models of normal and abnormal learning and memory consolidation in which the hippocampus plays an important role. As heuristically described in the Multiple Trace Theory of Moscovitch and Nadel, the role of the hippocampus in some learning processes is time-limited, but in others more enduring. This theme raises the question of why and how several different kinds of learning processes all include hippocampal resources. The talk will describe neural models of cognitive, adaptively-timed cognitive-emotional, and spatial navigational processes that all involve the hippocampus in learning and memory consolidation processes, but which differ in the extent of hippocampal involvement as memory consolidation proceeds. It hereby provides mechanistic explanations of the differences that have been experimentally reported about hippocampal involvement. Many psychological and neurobiological data are explained in a unified way by these models, including data about clinical disorders like medial temporal amnesia and problems with allocentric navigation. Biography Stephen Grossberg is a principal founder and current research leader in computational neuroscience, computational cognitive science, and biologically-inspired technology. He introduced foundational nonlinear differential equations for short-term memory (STM), medium-term memory (MTM), and long-term memory (LTM).

  • Mad Cow Militancy: Neoliberal Hegemony and Social Resistance in South Korea
    Political Geography xxx (2010) 1e11 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Political Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/polgeo Mad cow militancy: Neoliberal hegemony and social resistance in South Korea Seung-Ook Lee a,*, Sook-Jin Kim b, Joel Wainwright a a Department of Geography, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1361, USA b Department of Geography, Konkuk University, Seoul 143-701, South Korea abstract Keywords: Massive protests shook South Korea through the summer of 2008. This political eruption which exhibited South Korea many novel and unexpected elements cannot be explained by pointing to basic political conditions in Candlelight protests South Korea (strong labor unions, democratization, and so forth). Neither does the putative reason for Neoliberalism them e to protest the new President’s decision to reopen South Korea’s beef market to the U.S. e Hegemony Geography of social movements adequately explain the social dynamics at play. In this paper, we examine the political geography of the ‘candlelight protests’ (as they came to be known), focusing in particular on their novel aspects: the subjectivities of the protesters, fierce ideological struggles, and differentiated geography. We argue that the deepening of neoliberal restructuring by the new conservative regime formed the underlying causes of these intense conflicts. In other words, the new protests should be seen as a response to the reinforced contradictions engendered by neoliberalization and a new alignment of social groups against the pre- vailing hegemonic conditions in South Korea. In this view, the huge demonstrations revealed vulnera- bilities in conservative hegemony but failed to produce a different hegemony.

  • Technological Catch-Up and the Role of Universities: South Korea’S Innovation-Based Growth Explained Through the Corporate Helix Model Myung-Hwan Cho

This study offers a pair-wise cross-case analysis of the transitioning of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) to become entrepreneurial universities through the Corporate Helix model. POSTECH and SKKU demonstrated divergent routes but convergent outcomes in technological catch-up during the double helix formation stage. Through the relationship triad POSTECH shares with the Industry and Government after being established by Pohang Steel Company, it has been committed to launching Korea into the forefront of innovative science and technology in the twenty-first century. As a result of its acquisition and intensive investment from Samsung for almost over two decades, SKKU has become one of the top schools in South Korea while interacting closely with the industry and government to cultivate the efficacy of South Korea’s national innovation system. The Corporate Helix model takes into account the university which lacks the resources and capability to become entrepreneurial and to participate in a nation’s technological catch-up to innovation-based growth. The cases of POSTECH and SKKU offer key propositions that a university can be established or acquired by the industry and through this partnership undergo transformation to become entrepreneurial.
