Existing scholarship on the period has focused on its political and economic dimensions, and given rise to such influential concepts as “developmental dictatorship” (<i>kaebal tokchae</i>)<i> </i>and “mass dictatorship” (<i>taejung tokchae</i>).</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><font size="4"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">Moving beyond the era’s political economy, the conference on “Cultures of <i>Yushin</i>”<i> </i>seeks to explore the remarkably rich and varied cultural production of the <i>Yushin</i> period in its dynamic, and often ambivalent, relationship to state power. Cultural production is broadly conceived to include literature, film, television, theater, music, art, architecture, animation, comics, advertising,</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">fashion, and sports. We welcome innovative research that complicates familiar terms of opposition between coercion and consent, collaboration and resistance, and high art and popular culture.</span></font></p>

Previous conferences in the series have examined the phenomenon of <i>Hallyu </i>in the age of social media, transgressive practices in Korean society, and the politics of sports. Kicking off a two-day event devoted to the decade of the 1970s, the conference will be followed by an international workshop on the legacies of major public intellectuals of the 1970s, including Ham Sŏk-hŏn, Paik Nak-chung, Ri Yŏng-hŭi, Kang Man-gil, Shin Il-yŏng, and An Pyŏng-mu. The workshop will be led by historians, literary critics, and sociologists from the United States, Japan, and Korea.</font></span></p>
