Use Ashis Nandy's Intimate Enemy for this paper.<BR>
It's a great text to analyze Korean colonial occupation.<BR>
I can find material on nearly every page to analyze the juxapposing Korean context/condition--perhaps less because Japan and Korea are neighbors than because .<BR>All colonialisms are not the same.<BR>
<BR>
State, Violence, Law<BR>
Title: Nandy, Colonial Korea, and National Memory <BR>
(cite Jager)<BR>
<BR>
In ROK history classrooms and in public consciousness,<BR>
<BR>
We may think that more digging into the particularities of colonial records and conditions will yeild greater clarity of colonial life<BR>
Where the 35 years of colonial occupation are concered, It is a popular miisconception that more digging will yeild better results<BR>
We are all aware of the (following artuments)<BR>
<BR>
All of us have heard/know<BR>
the familiar refrain <BR>
that sees Japan's colonial occupation of Korea as bent on the extraction of reseources and the annihilation of things Korean.<BR>
<BR>
Despite significant evidence to the contrary. Why hold onto that? What does it serve?<BR>
<BR>
The other India and the other Britain. is there the possibility of the other Japan.<BR>
<BR>
Colonial modernity argument: that the colonial occupation was not all bad; that Korea got something out of it in the way of techonological development, social emancipation, cultural expression through music and other cultural forms), even if that something was not liberty and independence.<BR>
<BR>
Growing out of the need to escape or be rid of the legacy of japanese conolinization, Koreas have not looked closely enough at comparative colonialisms (Meyers and Peatie come to mind). In short, Korean colonization is under theorized. Nandy should inject a fair dose of comparative fodder.<BR>
<BR>
Nandy, like Fanon,...<BR>
<BR>
Mount a sustained argument. <BR>
Write it like Chidester piece. Send for publication while or as I am presenting it.<BR>
<BR>
No amount of digging will provide/reveal <BR>
<BR>
As if, for this to have happened, the Japanese must have held a gun to the heads of colonial submects<BR>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">28-29 June 2013, Leiden</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">With the aim of promoting comparative research in Korean and Japanese history and enhancing the dialogue between historians of Korea and Japan in Europe, the European Forum on Korean-Japanese History was established on 18 March 2012. The Forum is an independent body supported by the National Institute for Korean History. Its initial objective is to organize biennial workshops bringing together historians of Japan and Korea to exchange views on subjects of mutual relevance and interest. </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">The European Forum functions as a platform where the tangled histories of Korea and Japan are critically debated, common framing concepts are questioned, source materials are reread and untapped archival materials mobilized. As the professional field is still largely defined by national labels – we are historians of Korea and/or Japan – the European Forum probes how these labels as ordering principles that subliminally reproduce contemporary antagonisms in both research and teaching can be overcome. For too long a historiography based on the nation-state has prevented relevant dialogues from occurring. Now, theoretical and methodological developments in historiography allow the writing of history beyond the nation-state and open up new fields of research on multidirectional transnational flows of ideas, goods and people; subalternity, historical agency and the multiplicity of perspectives. </SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">The conceptual triangle State-Violence-Law is on purpose wide open. We seek contributions in English of original research from scholars around the globe dealing with any or all of these concepts from a perspective of institutional, political, social, cultural, international, transnational or comparative history. Papers that introduce hitherto untapped archival resources and/or challenging reinterpretations of established readings are particularly solicited. Unimpressed by the reification of the modern, we explicitly welcome contributions irrespective of period, hoping to strike a balance between “modernists” and “premodernists”.</SPAN></P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Abstracts (max. 750 words and a short bio) can be sent to the workshop organizer, Koen De Ceuster (</SPAN><A href="mailto:k.de.ceuster@hum.leidenuniv.nl"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">k.de.ceuster@hum.leidenuniv.nl</SPAN></A><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">) before 30 July 2012.
