2019 SUMMER STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM GW INSTITUTE FOR KOREAN STUDIES


2019 Summer Study Abroad Program
June 23 – July 6, 2019

Dates & program details are subjected to change as program finalizes in May 2019

What is the political, cultural and economic meaning of the 38th parallel to Koreans living in the South and the North? How did it become such an impenetrable border when it was intended to be a temporary line back in 1945? How did the border affect Koreans before and after the Korean War? How did this division affect economic growth and how is the economic situation different in both countries? How do they differ in their culture? If reunification were to occur, do you think it would be possible for North Koreans to successfully integrate to the South Korean society?

The aim of the summer study abroad program is to invite students interested in studying Korea to visit various professional sites in South Korea. We will use the border as a lens into exploring four main themes: Korean identities, division, reunification, and economic difference between the two Koreas through readings, discussions, on-site lectures, and site visits. The program participants will trace the transnational processes of modernization, imperialism, colonization, the Cold War, decolonization, and neoliberalism that have shaped and continue to shape Korean identity and culture.

CFP: "NATIONAL IDENTITIES AND THE YOUTH IN EAST ASIA: POPULAR CULTURE, POLITICAL MOBILISATION, AND DIGITAL SPACES" WORKSHOP




National Identities and the Youth in East Asia: 
Popular Culture, Political Mobilisation, and Digital Spaces
Workshop at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, 2-3 May 2019

As East Asian societies seek to come to term with demographic, economic, political and technological transitions in recent decades, the younger generation – the so-called Millennials born after 1980 –  have been both impacted by and assuming an increasingly active role in shaping these transformations. Despite being frequently depicted as a politically apathetic generation and with only limited access to traditional levers of state and cultural power, the youth in East Asia have been able to negotiate their political identities through a variety of channels outside official institutions such as popular culture, social and political activisms, and online communications. Digital spaces have become a particularly significant venue for the technologically sophisticated youth to engage in explicit or disguised forms of mobilisations and self-expressions as a strategy to, for instance, resist authoritarian control or to cope with social isolation. On the other hand, from the umbrella movement in Hong Kong and the sunflower movement in Taiwan to emerging feminist activisms in mainland China despite heightened oppressions, the youth are also increasingly involved in claiming the physical public space and in some cases utilising digital networks as a tool for real-world mobilisations.
