specific contributions of sports in modern Korea during its transformation from
colonial to the Cold War systems. After sports were introduced to Korea as
modern inventions in its modernizing processes, they were actively and widely practised
not only as a tool of governing and disciplining people but also as an arena of
competition and resistance. The aim of this panel is to explore both the continuity
and rupture of Korean society from the imperial/colonial to the Cold War
regimes through the lens of sports, which we refer to as a sporting regime in
Korea. </font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="굴림" size="3">

regime is examined in both dimensions of governmentality and structures of
feeling that the colonial and Cold War systems strived to build through sports.
The ways in which a sporting regime was constructed could be traced in the
examination of sports institutions, organization, events, key figures and their
philosophy, as well as representation, discourses, and reportages of sports. A
sporting regime contributes to propagating norms such as discipline,
perseverance, obedience, and sacrifice, as well as to providing rationales for
unification through power/violence, priority to national interests, and survival
of the fittest (Social Darwinism). </font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="굴림" size="3">

of the imperial/colonial and Cold War regimes not only in Korea but also in its
neighbouring societies. Furthermore, the task of theorizing a sporting regime
helps us to highlight the imperative and necessity of institutionalizing sports
as a legitimate field in Korean and East Asian studies. </font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="굴림" size="3">
