In January
2017 and in August 2018, Korea Verband hosted conferences on "Conveying
Shared History in Division" and on "Polarization through Enemy
Images" within Germany and Korea. The results of both sessions will now be
published as an anthology in German and Korean, in order to document the
results in the long term. The publication is expected to be published by June
2019. Along with the documentation, we would like to include diverse form of
writings regarding the topic of the book. Interested parties are invited to
submit proposals for additional individual contributions by 9 December 2018.
Background
Both in
South Korea and in Germany, the question of how the Korean and German division
history should be taught in schools is an ongoing debate accompanying important
educational policy issues. What is considered important today in Germany during
and after the unification process can open up interesting prospects for Korea
in the present day. On the other hand, the current debate on the design of the
subject of "reunification" in South Korean schools can give new
impetus to the presentation of the divided history in Germany.
The
specialist publication "Conveying Shared History in Division - Comparing
School Education in Germany and Korea" is intended to examine school
lessons on the history of their own division in both countries. It should also
be analyzed to what extent enemy images were carried into the classroom and
that a polarization of society opposed or prevented reunification. The
contributions deal in particular with the teaching contents and methods,
textbooks, the historical narratives of the respective countries and the
historical work. Contributions about other divided countries and their
experiences could also be included in the publication.
Contributions
Experts
from different backgrounds will contribute to the anthology: from scholars in
education and history, to teachers and practitioners of civil society, to
people with personal experience of division. In addition, specialized papers,
but also essays and other types of text, such as interviews are welcomed.
The
contributions should be written in German, English or Korean. German and
English texts should have a length of 30,000 characters (including spaces),
shorter and longer texts are also possible. Korean texts should consist of
13,500 syllables. We ask for statements of contributions by 9 December 2018 to
Sina Schindler (sina.schindler@koreaverband.de). Contributions to the book must
be submitted by 31 January 2019.
