to research that heavily relies on other sources than the conventional written
historical sources and highlights the role these unconventional sources play in
the formation of historical visions of groups, communities and both
non-professional and professional historians. </span><br style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"></font><p style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></font></p>
<p style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span lang="EN-US">History is
alive on the Korean peninsula. Contentious historical issues mobilize crowds,
infuse political debates and rally netizens in fierce internet discussions. In
popular media representations of history are recurrent features. In a society
with a tradition of tracing legitimacy in historical precedent, social players
always have felt a need to engage history for the sake of their cause. From
professional historians to journalists, from novelists to activists, from
politicians to religious leaders, from students to artists, all are
(re-)producers of historiographies in and of Korea. </span></font></p>
<p style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span lang="EN-US">Methodologically
sound and empirically solid histories produced by professional historians based
on "authoritative" sources coexist in such a landscape with more
informal, intuitive, often fluid and highly contextual understandings of
history, creating alternative Korean histories.</span></font></p>

of historiographical production, where different players interact and influence
each other, creating a web of variations and diversions from
"standard/authoritative" national history. </span></font></p>

editors of <i>Korean Histories</i> invite
submissions based on original research responding to the theme of
historiography as social practice in Korea in the broadest sense
possible, regardless of period, subject or angle. We welcome interdisciplinary
or comparative submissions, and particularly submissions that rely on
unconventional sources (such as music, art, religious concepts, movies, the
internet, blogs, advertisements or literary texts), which –copyright laws
permitting- may be published alongside the article in digital format. </span></font></p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">
