The symposium brings together a small number of panels for in-depth discussion of research on topics that are both relevant and in need of more exposure. This year the topic of the symposium is "<u>The Contemporary Relevance of Document Culture: Knowledge, Media, Power</u>." Documents are not just a historical legacy that reflects past ideas or mentalities; they also give rise continuously to new interpretations, and sometimes even interact with historical memories and serve to reshape them. The purpose of this symposium is therefore to question the contemporary implications of the documentary heritage of Korea. Historical changes in the meaning of recording or producing documents; the manifold social tensions that exist between recording and remembering; the diversity and connotations of various new media for recording history; problems and controversies surrounding the interpretation of historical records; the specificity of the Korean documentary heritage in its global context; these are just some of the subthemes that could be explored.</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><br></p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'>Practical information:</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><u>Dates</u>: 25~26 August 2015</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><u>Venue</u>: The Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies (Seoul National University)</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><u>Application deadline</u>: February 20, 2015</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><u>Language</u>: Korean or English</p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'><br></p><p style='margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; border-image: none; font-family: "굴림"; font-size: 10pt; cursor: text;'>We would like to invite especially organized panels connected to the conference theme; individiual paper submissions relevant to the conference theme will also be considered, but panel proposals are preferred.
