<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">This
presentation concerns the place of sound and music in a historic moment of
change in East Asian history, namely, a century from the mid-nineteenth to
mid-twentieth, initiated by the radical transition from the millennium-old
Sinocentric world order based on the Confucian notions of tribute and hierarchy
to the Eurocentric world order built on the international terms of
nation-states and colonies, and increasingly complicated by the emergence of
Japanese colonialism claiming to forge an alternative imperial order. This
inauguration of colonial modernity as a key problematic in the region was profoundly
marked by what Yamauchi has coined the phonographic turn: ideologies and
technologies of sonic writing played a central role in fracturing, while being
mediated by, the hierarchical assembly of political communities called the
Sinosphere that had long been coordinated through the literate authority and
legitimacy of logographic Chinese characters, and in advancing instead new
visions of political order idealized in the aural and musical terms of
re-sounding the voice of the people. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">The first
part of his talk will elaborate on an analytical framework so as to illuminate,
at a theoretical level, how the phonographic regime of the modern West
initiated a politics of sonic immediacy through its two major modalities, as
encoded textually in phonemic writing and musical notation and mechanically in
sound recording, respectively, thereby giving voice to some of the local
differences that had hardly been represented under the regional literate
regime, while at the same time installing new forms of cultural hierarchy and
homogeneity that subsumed the otherwise diversified voices under the logics of
colonialism, nationalism, and capitalism. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">In the
second part, drawing on material from his comparative-correlational research
into Korea and Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule, Yamauchi will present an
empirical case study to discuss the complicated ways in which an imperial
recording sphere emergent in early twentieth century East Asia functioned as a
major agent of the phonographic regime to simultaneously articulate musical
connection and disconnection—more simply, (dis)connection—in and beyond the
territories of imperial Japan through its empire- and region-wide
manifestations.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:14pt">As is now widely known, in 1937 Josef Stalin deported
close to 200,000 ethnic Koreans from the Russian Far East to Central Asia. The
main goal of this panel will be to discuss Soviet Korean history beyond the
1937 deportation and, indeed, beyond the Soviet Union. To this end, two of the
world’s leading experts on the former Soviet Union’s Korean minority will
compare the divergent trajectories of the Koreans of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
since the 1991 collapse. In both places perestroika and the Soviet collapse
opened new routes for reclaiming Korean identity, as well as new contacts with
both North and South Korea. Since then, however, the Central Asian republics
have embarked on radically different nation-building projects, which in turn
have led to different minority policies and different racialization processes.
In both republics, the question facing the Korean minority is adaptation or
emigration; and, if emigration, to foreign countries or to South Korea? In
short, the panel will reveal the diversity of this branch of the Korean
diaspora, thereby highlighting the contingency of what it means to be Korean
and, more broadly, an ethnic minority today. <br>

<b>Papers:</b><br>
<br>
<b>Divergent Processes Among Koreans in the Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS) After the Soviet Collapse<br>
German Kim, Kazakhstan National al-Farabi University</b><br>
<br>
This paper focuses on the former Soviet Union’s different political and
socioeconomic trajectories, and the different effects this has had on CIS
Koreans. Arguing that the Soviet collapse has opened a new stage in the history
of CIS Koreans, the paper traces the divergent processes that have appeared within
the once uniform environment of “Soviet Koreans” or “Koryo Saram”. These
processes have revealed themselves in several spheres, including demographics,
social structures, and identity-formation. <br>
<br>
<b>Post-Soviet Koreans: Revival and Survival<br>
Valeriy Khan, Institute of History, National Academy of Sciences, Uzbekistan</b><br>
<br>
After the collapse of the USSR, the concepts “revival” and “survival” express
the most important challenges for post-Soviet Koreans. This paper focuses on
the meanings of these concepts, their interpretations and specificities as
applied to Koryo Saram. In this connection, the paper considers various factors
that influence models of behavior and life-strategies for Koreans across the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), including strategies for “revival”
and “survival”. The paper also provides multiple perspectives on the different
possible future trajectories for CIS Koreans. <br>
