CURSO ONLINE "ESCRITORAS COREANAS DESDE LA ANTIGÜEDAD A LA ACTUALIDAD", CASA ASIA


Curso online Casa Asia

“Escritoras coreanas desde la antigüedad a la actualidad”


A través de este curso haremos un recorrido histórico de la mano de las escritoras coreanas más representativas de cada periodo para finalizar con las tendencias literarias más actuales. Con frecuencia, la labor de las escritoras se ha visto marginada en la historia de la literatura debido al peso del patriarcado en un ámbito tradicionalmente dominado por hombres. Teniendo en cuenta esto y también el gran peso de las escritoras en las tendencias literarias actuales surcoreanas consideramos pertinente presentar este curso en el que se dará a conocer y profundizará en la representación literaria coreana desde una mirada femenina que enfatice la problemática que enfrentaron las escritoras en distintos periodos y al mismo tiempo trabaje sobre sus obras más relevantes.


Programa:
  • 1ª Sesión: Escritoras de la dinastía Joseon
Durante la dinastía Joseon, la sociedad de carácter patriarcal relegaba a las mujeres al ámbito doméstico. Sin embargo, existen excepciones de mujeres, especialmente de la aristocracia, que dejaron valiosos testimonios literarios que constituyen una ventana a sus vidas durante esta época. En esta sesión ejemplos de la poesía escrita por las kisaeng, así como formas poéticas como la Kasa de alcoba escritas por mujeres de la aristocracia que trataban temáticas femeninas.
  • 2ª Sesión: Las sinyeosong y el surgimiento de la literatura moderna
Se dedicará esta segunda sesión a analizar el concepto de «nueva mujer» o sinyeosong y a las escritoras que emergieron en esta época turbulenta marcada por el fin de la dinastía, la modernización de Corea y la ocupación Japonesa. Estudiaremos diferentes autoras, su relación con las corrientes feministas de otros países y las dificultades que suponía desempeñar su actividad en una sociedad aún muy conservadora.
  • 3ª Sesión: Posguerra e industrialización
El gran trauma de la Guerra de Corea (1950-1953) que terminó en armisticio y la posterior industrialización rápida de Corea del Sur, en ocasiones denominada “milagro del río Han”, marcaron las literatura de este periodo. A través de esta sesión analizaremos a autoras clásicas del canon literario surcoreano y las visiones que nos ofrecen de esta época autoras como Park Wansoh, Park Kyeongni o O Jeonghui desde una mirada diferente a la de sus homónimos masculinos.
  • 4ª Sesión: El resurgir de las escritoras a partir de la década de los 80
La década de los 80 se perfila como un momento de gran importancia para las escritoras surcoreanas. La mayor igualdad de oportunidades en materia educativa hace que más mujeres puedan acceder a la educación universitaria y las condiciones sociales del país asientan una base de lectores para sus obras dando lugar a un aumento cuantitativo y cualitativo de literatura escrita por mujeres. Analizaremos algunos grandes éxitos cosechados por autoras de esta generación como Shin Kyeongsuk y Gong Ji Young, así como otros ejemplos menos conocidos.
  • 5ª sesión: Literatura contemporánea y tendencias actuales
Finalizaremos nuestro recorrido dedicando una sesión a las tendencias literarias más actuales, en especial, a la gran repercusión que están teniendo obras de escritoras que se enmarcan en géneros tradicionalmente considerados menores como la ciencia ficción y la fantasía en la sociedad contemporánea.

CFP: "DEMOCRACY, YOUTH RESISTANCE, AND ACTIVISM IN SOUTHEAST AND EAST ASIA" CONFERENCE


"Democracy, Youth Resistance, and Activism in Southeast and East Asia" 

Conference, New York City, Pace University


Date: Nov. 10, 2023

Place: Pace University, New York, NY

Pace University and the New York Southeast Asia Network (NYSEAN) are looking for people to participate in a conference the following questions: How is the political landscape in Asia changing based on demands and activities from groups in society? While international observers have lamented the global retreat of democratic governance and civic institutions, Asia stands out as a site of considerable political activism. One notable example is the resilience of the Milk Tea Alliance, a social media human rights platform that netizens from Thailand, Myanmar, Hong Kong and Taiwan which was launched to mobilize grassroots support against autocratic regimes since the widespread protests in 2019, and this alliance has emerged as a youth-led prodemocracy alternative to anti-democratic forces. 2023-24 will also bring elections and other significant developments across Southeast and East Asia and this conference will provide a space to investigate the changing political landscape.

This conference seeks scholars and activists working on these themes in various forms; from student protests to religious conservatism; from organized political parties to spontaneous forms of resistance; from underground struggle to exiled lobbying. How can we understand the diversity of actors, groups, and voices? And, how do these acts fit within the larger realm of political contestation? How are groups on the ground and in exile (from Myanmar, Thailand, and Hong Kong) trying to push back against draconian oppression, and how are groups trying to carve out spaces for reform and rights advocacy?

This conference will bring together a wide range of scholars, students, and practitioners such as artists and activists who are interested in these themes in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.

The conference proceedings may result in a published volume with Pace University Press.

If you are interested in participating, please send a 250-500 word abstract or description of your work, along with a brief bio to both Prof. Amy Freedman (afreedman@pace.edu) and Prof. Joseph Lee (jlee@pace.edu). Priority will be given to those who submit proposals by May 15th. We have limited funds which may be used to help defray travel costs. Graduate students and those working at underfunded institutions will be prioritized for support. Please indicate in your biography if you are seeking travel support to participate in the conference.

CFP: "GENRES AND LANGUAGE IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: TRENDS AND NEW DIRECTIONS" INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

“Genres and language in Digital Communication: Trends and New Directions”

International Conference



This joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7). Both associations promote the use of languages for specific purposes and professional communication. The main goal of this joint conference is to create a meeting point for scholars (researchers and practitioners) and allow them to discuss and exchange their views on the conference theme with participants from different world regions and do so from multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives.

In a networked era, we are witnessing rapidly changing, web-mediated communication practices involving a variety of communicative purposes, audiences, modes and media. Emerging trends in disciplinary knowledge communication such as the Open Science paradigm attest to this fact. Academic and professional communication today thus poses important theoretical, methodological and pedagogical challenges that need addressing. Some of the questions that we aim to address are: What is the role of LSP teaching and research in an increasingly interconnected world? What methods and frameworks are suitable to investigate multilingual and multimodal communication online? How can practitioners support emerging digital communication needs in the professions? How can they best prepare future graduates and professionals to disseminate their work in digital environments?, and how can LSP research and practice help them develop the necessary literacies (academic, plurilingual and digital literacies)?


Strands of research

We welcome submissions on all aspects of LSP communication in relation to the AELFE thematic panels, but contributions addressing the specific theme of the conference are particularly encouraged.

Specifically, we invite proposals in broader areas such as discourse and communication, genre analysis, genres and registers, genres and multimodality, translation studies, multilingualism, languaging and translanguaging, cross-cultural and intercultural discourses, academic literacy development, acquisition of professional competence in the workplace, digital literacies, technologies for education, quality assurance in LSP teaching/learning, pedagogies for professional development and LSP teacher professional development.

Other topics in LSP and Professional Communication are also welcome.


Submission of abstracts

All abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the scientific committee, and proposals related to the AELFE panels will be evaluated by the panel coordinators. This will be followed by a notification of acceptance or request for revision.

The required format for submissions is an abstract of 300 words (excluding references), preferably in Word format. For references please follow the APA Citation Style (7TH edition). Abstracts should include a brief outline of the research/project context and clearly indicate the objectives, method(s) and results. They should be written in the language in which the presentation will be delivered.

  • Language policy: the conference languages are English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
  • Presentation Policy: given that the organising committee believes that conferences should provide opportunities for professional exchange, i.e., giving and receiving feedback, and meeting colleagues with similar interests, we encourage discussions following each paper presentation and also require that papers should be presented only by their authors. Non-author substitute presenters will not be allowed to present papers.
To aim at diversity, we accept only one paper presentation per author.


Important dates

  • Deadline for abstracts: January 15th, 2023
  • Notification of acceptance: January 30th, 2023
  • Registration starts: January 30th, 2023
  • Deadline for early bird registration: March 30th, 2023
  • Registration ends: June 20th, 2023


CFP: WOMEN'S STUDIES QUATERLY (WSQ)





Special issue spring 2024 “Pandemonium”


This special issue of Women’s Studies Quarterly invites reflection on the status, health, precarity, and promise of the discipline of women’s, gender, sexuality, and feminist studies in light of our current state of pandemonium.

By “pandemonium,” we point not only to those tragedies, inequalities, and disruptions to the university and higher education stemming directly from the Covid-19 pandemic but also to the crisis-roiled political context fomenting a barrage of assaults on feminist studies as a discipline in the United States and elsewhere that have been accelerating for several years prior to the pandemic and have only intensified since its outbreak.

We seek submissions from a diverse group of feminist- studies scholars, researchers, teachers, administrators, practi- tioners, intellectuals, artists, advocates, and leaders, drawing on their research as well as personal experiences, that reveal and analyze the effects of a kaleidoscopic set of conflicts, crises, and pressures affecting their lives, scholarship, work, teach- ing, careers, institutions, and political organizing, particularly those that are a sign of or hold consequences for the health and survival of the discipline of feminist studies as a whole.

The key elements of “pandemonium” we refer to, beyond those most directly pandemic-related, hinge on decades of neoliberal policy making pushing privatization and commercialization of education. Such policies, in the face of genuine economic crises stemming from the pandemic, as well as “natural” disasters and population dislocations caused by warfare and accelerating climate change, have been used to justify the implementation of so-called austerity measures that have hit nontechnical and especially advocacy fields such as feminist studies the hardest. At the same time, concerted right-wing and authoritarian movements have put feminists as well as women, queer, trans and nonbinary folk, immi- grants, refugees, and people of color in their crosshairs. The United States is seeing unprecedented attacks on liberal demo- cratic institutions, escalating “culture wars,” the dismantling of women’s rights and reproductive justice (e.g., the Dobbs decision), as well as increased anti-trans hysteria and anti-intellectual vitriol specifically targeting feminist and anti-racist educators and scholars. Across the globe—in Afghanistan, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, France, Haiti, Hungary, Nicara- gua, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey, Uganda, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere—emergent anti-feminist, nativist, and white-supremacist political parties as well as established autocratic and authoritarian regimes have instituted blatantly misogynistic, anti-queer, anti-trans, racist, and anti-immi- grant legislation, often accompanied by governmental and extra-governmental policies explicitly intended to marginalize, erase, suppress, or extinguish feminist studies as a legitimate academic discipline and teaching field.

Pandemonium creates space for feminist-studies practi- tioners to consider the tumultuous circumstances we find ourselves in, to document and reflect on recent experiences, and to draw conclusions about the current state—and possible future—of our field. In that spirit, we offer this special issue as a site not only for identifying and assessing existential threats and proliferating crises but also as an opportunity to recognize promising strategies and praxes of resistance that may illuminate new pathways through the pandemonium of our moment, hopefully leading to a stronger future for our discipline.

Submissions should address ways our discipline--its individual practioners and organizational institututions—have been affected by, or have encountered adversity and experienced struggle in the face of:
  • The Global Pandemic and a panoply of consequences flowing from it
  • Right-wing (white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti- queer/trans, misogynist, etc.) movements
  • Right-wing corporate media and social media
  • Authoritarianism, illiberalism, and threats democratic institutions
  • War, invasion, civil strife, and refugeeism
  • Neoliberalism, corporatism, and commercialization
  • Climate-change disasters, environmental degradation, and climate-change denial
  • Impoverishment and the “austerity” measures and policies arising from the above
We are keenly interested in contributions that document and evaluate the ways that our discipline and its practitioners exer-cise and exhibit resistance, revolutionary praxis, and refusal to the above in the form of:
  • Scholarly, pedagogical, and administrative strategizing
  • Organizational-, institutional- and alliance-building (both inter- as well as intra-disciplinary)
  • Public engagement, political activism, and direct action (both on- and off-campus)
  • Escape hatches, off-ramps, and alternative social- cultural protest forms and modalities
We welcome contributions that recognize and share artistic and creative endeavors, performances, and cultural interventions offering insight and inspiration regarding the core themes of this issue. Especially encouraged to submit are women; people of color; Black; Indigenous; gender-variant, LGBTQIA+; disabled people; and those whose work is located outside the United States or who collaborate cross-nationally.

PRIORITY SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 1, 2023
  • Scholarly articles should be submitted to web. Send complete articles, not abstracts. Remove all identifying authorial information from the file uploaded to Submittable. We will give priority consideration to submissions received by March 1, 2023. Scholarly submissions must not exceed 6,000 words (including un-embedded notes and works cited) and must comply with formatting guidelines. For questions, email the guest issue editors at WSQEditorial@gmail.com.
  • Artistic works (whose content relates clearly to the issue theme) such as creative prose (fiction, essay, memoir, and translation submissions between 2,000 and 2,500 words), poetry, and other forms of visual art or documentation of performative artistry should be submitted to web. Before submitting, please review previous issues of WSQ to see what type of creative submissions we prefer. Note that creative submissions may be held for six months or longer. We do not accept work that has been previously published. (Simultaneous submissions are acceptable if the editors are notified immediately of acceptance elsewhere.) For questions related to creative prose submissions, email WSQCreativeProse@gmail.com. For questions related to poetry submissions, email the WSQ’s poetry editor at WSQpoetry@gmail.com. For questions regarding other forms of artistic or creative work, email the visual arts editor at WSQvisualart@gmail.com.

ÚLTIMAS PUBLICACIONES ACADÉMICAS 2022 (II)

 



Nuevamente, en esta segunda mitad del año, realizamos una revisión de algunas de las últimas investigaciones de académicos internacionales que han sido publicadas en formato libro y ya disponibles para su venta. Un listado centrado en diversas áreas dentro de los campos de las Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, puestos ya a disposición de todos por las diferentes editoriales que facilitamos a continuación:


DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION, de Hyun Jung Lee

Sale a la venta el trabajo de la Prof.  Hyun Jung Lee, de la Universidad de Erlangen-Núremberg a través de la editorial Springer, en el que analiza la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH) y el Tribunal Constitucional de Corea. A lo largo de sus nueve capítulos, realiza un exhaustivo análisis legislativo de ambas instituciones con el fin de mostrar cómo se puede implementar la prohibición de la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual en Corea del Sur con la referencia de la jurisprudencia de otras jurisdicciones, incluida principalmente la del TEDH. Finalmente, el libro presenta un estudio de caso sobre la situación legal del matrimonio del mismo sexo en Corea. Dado el contexto actual en el que las voces de las minorías sexuales cada vez van teniendo más voz y buscan su paridad en la sociedad, esta publicación resultará interesante para los lectores tanto de Corea como de Europa.


THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NORTH KOREA, de Min-Hua Chiang (ed.)

La editorial Lynne Rienner Publishers lanza la publicación editada por la Prof. Min-Hua Chiang, economista de teorías macroeconómicas fundamentales e interacciones geopolíticas de la Universidad Nacional de Singapur. A lo largo de sus tres secciones: Dinámica Interna, Dinámica Regional y Dinámica Global, los diversos autores que aportan su conocimiento al libro analizan en profundidad las políticas económicas de los sucesivos gobernantes Kim, con el fin de lograr responder a por qué la economía de Corea del Norte se ha quedado atrás en comparación con otras economías de muchos países vecinos de Asia oriental. Asimismo, trazan una serie de teorías sobre cuáles son las perspectivas de desarrollo del país y cómo sus relaciones externas afectan a su economía interna, resultando en una descripción sistemática del desarrollo económico de Corea del Norte y la amplia gama de factores nacionales, regionales y globales en juego.



Durante este trimestre, la prestigiosa editorial Routledge publica, entre otras novedades, la investigación llevada a cabo por la Prof. Chuyun Oh de la Universidad del Estado de San Diego. Este libro recoge cinco años de trabajo de campo etnográfico compuesto por una serie de entrevistas, coreografías y participación-observación con 40 bailarines de K-pop aficionados y profesionales en Nueva York, California y Seúl. Partiendo desde la década de 1980 hasta la actualidad, la autora rastrea la evolución del baile K-pop y explica su característica distintiva llamada “coreografía de puntos gestuales”. De la misma manera, toma las covers de baile k-pop realizados por los fans y afirma que se trata de una actuación intercultural ya que al imitar e idolatrar el baile K-pop, los fans eventualmente se “fandomizan” a sí mismos y a sus cuerpos. Este intensivo estudio etnográfico resulta un valioso recurso tanto para estudiantes como académicos de Estudios Coreanos y de Estudios de Interpretación y Danza.



Paul S. Cha, profesor de Estudios Coreanos en la Universidad de Hong Kong, publica para la editorial University of Hawaii Press, este libro que recoge el comienzo de las misiones de protestantismo en la Corea de 1884 hasta la expulsión de los misioneros de la península de mano del Gobierno colonial japonés en 1942.  En este ejemplar se analiza la identidad y pertenencia que dieron forma a dicho protestantismo dentro de la península poniendo en tela de juicio la historia convencional del protestantismo coreano en cuanto a su relación con el Estado-nación surcoreana. Además, el autor estudia la lucha por el control de instituciones sociales como colegios y hospitales y cómo estas desafiaron el poder del estado y los patrones sociales ya establecidos. Numerosos expertos a nivel internacional identifican a Corea del Sur como un ejemplo de difusión del cristianismo fuera de Euroamérica en los siglos XIX y XX, lo que convierte el novedoso punto de vista de esta investigación un indispensable para todos los interesados en la evolución del cristianismo en la península.



En una de las primeras aproximaciones filosóficas al estudio del nacionalismo étnico coreano, Hannah Amaris Roh, (Prof. visitante en la Universidad de British Columbia) rastrea el impacto del cristianismo en la formación de la identidad nacional coreana, esbozando los orígenes metafísicos del concepto del “sujeto soberano”. Esta monografía publicada por la editorial Routledge, adopta un enfoque meta histórico para abordar las cuestiones morales de la historiografía coreana durante el período colonial y postcolonial. Gracias a la filosofía de la deconstrucción de Jacques Derrida y su marco de la “hauntología”, esta monografía descifra las consecuencias étnicas del nacionalismo, explorando cómo la metafísica occidental ha perseguido el imaginario de libertad de la Corea colonial. Al deconstruir las pretensiones metafísicas de los misioneros protestantes de principios de siglo y de los intelectuales coreanos de la época moderna, el libro pone de manifiesto la relevancia del método filosófico de Derrida en el estudio de la historia moderna de Corea.



La editorial Cornell University Press nos presenta el último trabajo del profesor Hagen Koo de la Universidad de Hawaii, donde se nos presenta un análisis de lo sucedido con la clase media surcoreana en la era de la rápida globalización para demostrar así, como esta situación ha creado una serie de cambios significativos en el carácter social de Corea. La clase media en la mayoría de las economías avanzadas se describen como “exprimidas” y “reducidas”. Esto se debe a que la globalización ha insertado un “eje de polarización” en la clase media, separando a una pequeña minoría que se beneficia de esta situación global mientras que otras sufren. Esta diferenciación interna genera una dinámica desafiante dentro de la sociedad coreana, ya que los nuevos ricos buscan distinguirse del resto de la clase media, para establecer una nueva posición de clase privilegiada. Esta obra explora cómo se manifiestan estas tensiones en distintos ámbitos: el consumo y el estilo de vida, la diferenciación residencial y la educación.



El particular fenómeno del cristianismo en Corea se caracteriza por su rápido crecimiento y la singular interpretación de esta religión entre los coreanos de todo el mundo. En esta publicación para Oxford University Press, el Prof. Won W. Lee de la Universidad de Calvin nos presenta cómo este fenómeno está íntimamente ligado a la forma en que los coreanos se apropiaron de la Biblia en su entorno religioso-cultural y sociopolítico a partir del siglo XVIII, ofreciendo una visión general de cómo han utilizado el libro sagrado, las distintas comunidades religiosas de Corea y su diáspora a lo largo de dos siglos. En este volumen, destacados estudiosos de diversa índole teológica presentan un pensamiento representativo de las interculturaciones creativas de la Biblia en Corea. Algunos se alinean de forma conservadora con la ortodoxia occidental recibida y otros, se centran en los acentos distintivos del cristianismo coreano o las tradiciones religiosas, pero en conjunto, el volumen presenta un exquisito tapiz de interpretación bíblica coreana. 


MEDIATING THE SOUTH KOREAN OTHER, de David. C. Oh (ed.) 

El profesor David C. Oh de la Ramapo College of New Jersey, ha recopilado la opinión de académicos destacados y emergentes del muticulturalismo en la cultura mediática coreana gracias a la editorial de Michigan Publishing. Este libro ofrece un nuevo marco para comprender las diferencias étnicas y raciales en Corea del Sur, relacionado con el multiculturalismo coreano. Oh, hace alusión a como este multiculturalismo de Corea se formó en el contexto de las aspiraciones globales neoliberales, un legado del poscolonialismo con Japón y una relación neocolonial subordinada con los E.E.U.U. Se destaca especialmente la amplitud del concepto de la palabra coreana injongchabyeol, a menudo traducida como racismo, refiriéndose a la discriminación basada en cualquier tipo de “categoría humana”. La obra abre un nuevo marco para comprender la diferencia de maneras de ser que son localmente significativas en una sociedad y un sistema de medios en los que las diferencias raciales o incluso étnicas no son las más destacadas.



Dentro de los estudios culturales de Asia Oriental, la autora Chungmoo Choi de la University of California de Irvine nos presenta esta publicación que trata el afecto y la ética en la sanación del trauma histórico de Corea con textos fílmicos y literarios en la editorial Routledge. El libro aborda la cuestión de cuánta verdad sobre un pasado violento conducirá a la curación, el perdón, el olvido y la superación del resentimiento. Se presentan interpretaciones como “Oldboy” de Park Chan-wook, “Mother” de Bong Joon-ho y textos literarios de las escritoras Han Kang y Ch'oe Yun. También se ofrece una investigación nueva y extensa sobre la historia oculta de miles de huérfanos norcoreanos tras la guerra, cuando fueron enviados a países de Europa del Este para su cuidado. Lidiando con los males de la historia, las películas y novelas analizadas encuentran sus temas fundamentales en la compasión, la hospitalidad, la humildad y la solidaridad de los heridos.


THE TWO KOREAS AND THEIR GLOBAL ENGAGEMENTS, de Andrew David Jackson (ed.)

Andrew David Jackson, especialista en estudios coreanos en la Monash University de Melbourne nos presenta una obra publicada por la editorial Palgrave Macmillan. El libro sobresale entre los estudios ya existentes, centrándose en el impacto de las influencias internacionales en la sociedad, la cultura y el idioma de Corea del Norte y Corea del Sur. Desde la campaña segyehwa del presidente Kim Young Sam, Corea del Sur se ha convertido en un modelo de globalización exitosa. En cambio, Corea del Norte es generalmente considerado como uno de los países menos integrados globalmente. No se tiene en cuenta la realidad de las dos Coreas y sus compromisos globales. El primer ensayo destaca en sus primeros capítulos algunos contrastes significativos y puntos en común entre las experiencias de la historia de compromiso de las dos Coreas con el mundo más allá de la península. Más adelante en la obra se exploran tanto la influencia histórica a más largo plazo de los contactos internacionales de Corea, como las características culturales, lingüísticas y culturales específicas de Corea.

CFP: “GLOBAL CONTENT PROVIDER: KOREAN FILM AND TV DRAMA AS INDUSTRY AND ENTERTAINMENT”, 2022 SITUATIONS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE


“Global Content Provider: Korean Film and TV Drama as Industry and Entertainment”,

2022 Situations International Conference

21-22 October 2022, Jeju, South Korea


Right now, a lot of eyes are focused on Korea. In 2020, Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite became the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Soon after, its director called for film audiences to overcome the “one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles.” Two years later, Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Squid Game (2021) became the top Netflix show in 90 countries, garnering over 111 million fans. Although these two massive hits might appear to have come out of the blue, the ascent of Korean drama to worldwide acclaim did not happen overnight. For decades, televisual K-dramas have been popular in major sites in Asia, ranging from Japan to Saudi Arabia; since the end of the 1990s, Korean films become featured more regularly at some of the major international film festivals. Korean films that won prizes at Cannes and Venice, including Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy (2003), Lee Chang-dong’s Secret Sunshine (2007) and Kim Ki-duk’s Piéta (2012) not only won over cinephiles but worked in tandem with popular dramas like Lee Byung-hoon’s Daejanggeum (2003) to spark interest in Korean culture as a whole.

Against the backdrop of the critical success and popular acclaim of Korean films and drama, this interdisciplinary conference invites papers that explore the range of themes and topics connected to the South Korean film and TV industry. We are interested in papers that explore both the infrastructure of the Korean entertainment industry and in the Korean dramatic forms dependent on screenplay and telescript. The following topics are listed as mere suggestions; in practice, we welcome a full range of papers, including papers that offer perspectives that differ, and even differ sharply, from the dominant liberal or progressive consensus in cultural studies:


Invited Speakers:


"To Play or Not to Play: Gamers as Speculative Critics in Recent Korean Netflix Shows"



“Beyond Anti-Communism and National Propaganda: Reevaluating South Korea’s State Film Censorship of the Cold War Era”



“Who to Save? Moral Dilemma and Uncertainty in Korean Contemporary Horror, The Priests (2015), The Cursed (2020) and Hellbound (2021)”



"Words of Sense and Memory in the K-Drama”


Possible Topics:
  • The Korean Film Festival: BIFF and its Others
  • Streaming Services in Korea: Netflix and Its Others
  • Melodrama and Other Genres in K-Drama
  • The Art of Translation: K-Drama and Global Content Provision
  • Alternative Histories in Korean TV and Film
  • Sexuality and its Discontents in K-Drama
  • Traditional Femininity and Independent Women in K-Drama
  • Under Siege: Men, Masculinity and Masculinist Concerns in K-Drama
  • National Ethnocentric Interests and Global Migrant Agendas
  • LGBTQ Korean Films/Dramas
  • Image versus Reality in K-Cinema
  • Depictions of Religion in Korean Popular Culture
  • Virtual History and Speculative Futures of the Korean Peninsula
  • Feminism and the “Me Too” Movement in Korean Culture
  • Ilbe, the Alt-right, and Beyond
  • Asian Values on Screen: Liberalism and Tradition, Progressivism and Religion
  • Screen Translation of Korean Films/Dramas/Webtoons
Early inquiries with 200-word abstracts are appreciated. By 20 August 2022, we would invite you to submit your 4,000-word Chicago-format conference presentation with its abstract and keywords. Each invited participant will then be expected to turn his or her conference presentation into a finished 6,000-word paper for possible inclusion in a future issue of the SCOPUS-indexed journal, Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context.

Submissions should follow the Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.), using only endnotes. For further details about the citation protocols, refer to our journal website.

We will pay the hotel accommodation for those participants whose final papers we accept. There are no registration fees. Should the coronavirus situation remain critical, we will consider changing the conference format to a hybrid or virtual one. All correspondence should be sent to situations@yonsei.ac.kr and addressed to the Managing Editor, Dr Rhee Suk Koo and the two Editors, Dr Terence Murphy and Dr Peter Paik.
