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: MULTICULTURALISM, LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION IN EAST ASIA


Multiculturalism, Literature and Translation in East Asia



Edited volume for book series: Routledge Studies in East Asian Translation

Editor: Tzu-yu Lin (University College London tzu-yu.lin@ucl.ac.uk)

This volume invites papers exploring a broad spectrum of theoretical, methodological and empirical questions about multilingualism, literary translation and meaning making in East Asia. As claimed by Martin Maiden, Chiara Cappellaro and Aditi Lahiri (2020: 69), “we are more multilingual than we think”. Katrin Kohl and Wen-chin Ouyang (2020) also assert that all human beings are in some way multilingual, and we should see multilingualism as the norm in social interactions. Defined in contrast to “monolingualism”, multilingualism usually refers to the acquisition and use of languages at a high level of fluency, though it is sometimes used flexibly with the term “plurilingual”, which puts less emphasis on the level of fluency attained (Kohl and Ouyang 2020: 4). If we define “languages” more broadly – to include registers, dialects, accents and ways of speaking – we find that multilingualism is normal in our daily lives, and switching between “languages” is an ability built into human’s DNA (ibid.:5). We should, therefore, respect multilingualism and promote language diversity in our societies. Yet, translators, as bi/multilingual authors and communicators, often give credence to the traditional monolingual premise and believe that “the meaning” of a source/original text can be carried across into a new target language. As Matthew Reynolds et al. (2020) argued, new meanings and new words will always be devised creatively during the process of translation, and therefore, considering translation as prism allows us to see the divergences and alternative standards of languages. For Ouyang (2020: 110-113), multiculturalism allows languages to interact with each other, and through the translation of “language-in-dialogue”, new worldviews, motifs, cultures, languages and literatures can thus travel around the world.

In East Asia, especially in the Chinese scriptworld, the relationship between written form and oral language differs from those in countries that use phonograms. The definition of multilingualism can be different from that in the European countries. This volume invites submissions that explore bi/multilingual models of literary translation in different linguistic strand settings in East Asia. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
  • Multilingualism and world literature
  • Multilingualism and postcolonial/diasporic literature
  • Bi/multilingualism and translation
  • Translation and world literature
  • Multilingualism and the minority
  • Translating dialects and/or non-standard languages
  • Translatability and untranslatability

CFP: MIGRATION METHODOLOGIES: CHALLENGES, INNOVATIONS AND CONCEPTUAL IMPLICATIONS FOR ASIAN MIGRATIONS


Migration Methodologies:

Challenges, Innovations and Conceptual Implications for Asian Migrations


Migration flows of unprecedented volume and complexity within, as well as in and out of Asia have become one of the main drivers of contemporary social change in the region. Major travel restrictions and curtailments in recent months brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have further raised severe concerns over the potential impacts and implications of ongoing curbs. In these contexts, approaches to studying international migration have highlighted the institutions, infrastructures, processes, practices, consequences and experiences of migration while attending to its multi-directional, multi-sited, multi-causal and open-ended nature. New spatialities and temporalities – from transnational families, mobile cities, diaspora-and-development, global care chains, contact zones, spaces of encounter, travel bubbles/corridors/sandbox to multinational migrations – have animated migration research as material borders and socially constructed boundary lines are transgressed, rigidified or redrawn in the face of multiple-, hyper- and transnational migrations and mobilities.

In view of the increasing conceptual breadth and theoretical sophistication of international migration scholarship, it follows that our research practices need to evolve to embrace the quickened pace of mobilities and the heightened sense of transience, simultaneity and otherness experienced by the migrant (and non-migrant) subject within interlocking lifeworlds. As Collins and Huang (2012, p.270) observe, contemporary migration scholarship “draws on a wide range of research methodologies, reflecting the multi-disciplinary character of the field, the diverse sites and subjects of migration, and the varied concepts and theories that underpin this area of study”. These methodologies have broadened to include computational, quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method approaches and techniques as exemplified by the use of longitudinal surveys, sequence analysis, social networks analysis; mental mapping, multi-sited ethnographies, go-along ethnography, visual ethnography, life-story interviews, paired/unpaired interviews, participatory methods and data visualization techniques (Büscher, Urry, and Witchger, 2010; Amelina and Faist, 2012; Meeus, 2012; Martiniello, 2017; Fauser, 2018; Ryan and D’Angelo, 2018).

Despite “all this methodological development, innovation and cross-fertilisation” within the scholarship on migration, the discipline has – to date – failed to fully explore, interrogate, review and compare the merit and design of such methods (Collins and Huang, 2012, p.270). The authors continue to argue that there has also been limited “reflection on the ethical and conceptual implications of these choices” (Collins and Huang, 2010, p.270). This workshop responds to their observation by providing a collaborative forum to bring together migration scholars with diverse methodological interests and expertise.

We invite papers that focus on innovative methodological approaches while drawing on substantive findings relevant to “Asian migrations” (broadly defined to refer to migration flows within, as well as in and out of Asia) in order to grapple with the challenges and possibilities in conducting migration research. Contextually grounded papers that pursue one or more of the following questions are particularly welcome:
  • How do we research new migration-led spatialities and temporalities in (im)mobile times across interconnected worlds and/or during a pandemic?
  • How do we work with multi-directionality, multi-causality and provisionality in contemporary migrations? How do we map multinational migrations over time and space?
  • What kinds of methodological routes can be pursued to go beyond the single case in migration research and to seriously contemplate multi-sited research, develop comparative transnational frameworks, increase awareness of the connectivities across scales and units of analysis, and instill wariness of methodological nationalism?
  • How do we equip ourselves for the task of boundary-crossing, a task which goes hand in hand with supporting a socially progressive migration agenda?
  • How do we devise research practices that would contribute towards dismantling institutionalized practices which reproduce racisms, nationalisms and social privilege, and pave the way for a more inclusive approach in our work as migration researchers?
  • How has the “new (pandemic-)normal” featuring lockdowns, immobilities and restricted human interactions altered our ways of conducting research and reshaped existing conceptualizations of migration?

Submission of Proposals:

Paper proposals should include a title, an abstract (300 words maximum) and a brief personal biography of 150 words for submission. Please use the paper proposal form and send it in doc/docx format to Ms Rohini Anant at rohini.a@nus.edu.sg by 15 September 2021.

Please also include a statement confirming that your paper has not been published previously, it is not committed elsewhere, and that you are willing to revise your paper for potential inclusion in a special issue submission (in collaboration with the workshop organizers and other participants).

Successful applicants will be notified by end of September. Panel presenters will be required to submit drafts of papers (4,000-7,000) words by 20 December 2021. These drafts will be circulated to fellow panelists and organizers in advance.

CFP: "COSMOPOLITANISM AND WORLD CITIZENSHIP" INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE


 "Cosmopolitanism and World Citizenship" 
International ConferenceLondon


“I am a citizen of the cosmos” Cynic Diogenes replied in the fourth century BCE when he was asked about his origins. What does it mean to be a global citizen today? Highly complex, multilayered and always contemporary, the concept of cosmopolitanism offers fertile ground and uncharted waters for scholarly interpretations. For millennia, philosophers have theorized on the meaning of global citizenship in an effort to identify who are the “kosmopolites”, the real citizens of “the Small World, the Great” in the words of Nobel laureate Odysseus Elytis.

CFP: 2019 SITUATIONS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ETHNICITY, RACE AND RACISM IN ASIA


2019 Situations International Conference Ethnicity, Race and Racism in Asia


When: Thursday 24 October-Saturday 26 October 2019

In recent years, the questions of ethnicity, race and racism have come to assume an increasing prominence in scholarly as well as social discussions in Asia. In response to the turbulent global economy, the fracturing of international barriers, and a renewed surge in flows of migrants and displaced persons worldwide, national populist movements have suddenly become a potent and growing political force. Longstanding liberal values such as pluralism, tolerance, and multicultural coexistence have come under challenge, as fears of economic crisis and cultural conflict have given strength to extremist stances across the political spectrum. Finally, the fact that historical barriers have come down between different population groups has resulted in some cases in the intensification of conflicts between them over other explosive fault-lines, such as differences of religious belief that too can take on a racial or ethnic dimension.

The current rise of populist anger across the West portends a potential revival of the nation- state, which has often had a relatively homogeneous population as its foundation. Alternatively, the fragmentation of social and political systems may indicate a return to older institutional arrangements that could be surprisingly peaceful and tolerant compared to modern multi-ethnic or multi-cultural states because they were more willing to recognize hard cultural differences. What kind of relationship between the old and the new are we likely to see as the nations and cultures of Asia attempt to adjust to new social and economic realities?

In the Asia of today, what does ethnic diversity and pluralism mean? What kind of impact has globalization had on the relations between different ethnic groups in multi-ethnic states such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia? What kinds of conflicts—as well as new modes of coexistence—are being generated by the flow of peoples in accordance with the demand for labor and patterns of investment? How are more ethnically homogeneous nations such as Japan, China, South Korea, and Japan affected by this dynamic? Are there already signs of impending change in these latter, more socially homogeneous, societies?

In exploring this topic, the 2019 Situations conference welcomes papers on such subjects as:
  • The history of race and ethnicity as Asian ideas
  • Non-Western models of pluralism and diversity
  • Refugee flows and crises around the globe
  • Racial divides and religious differences
  • Diaspora and identity
  • Race, equality, and democracy
  • The future of cosmopolitanism • Race and models of beauty
  • Race, culture, and the high-trust society
  • Multiculturalism, pluralism, and empire
  • Race, ethnicity, and biomedical technologies
  • Belonging and exclusion
  • Flows of labor and capital
  • Challenges to multiculturalism

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.
