Christianity in Korea has been intertwined with shifting political conditions, such as Western imperialism, Japanese colonialism, modern nation-state building, democracy movements and neoliberalism. It has also had a significant impact upon class formation, gender relations and everyday life practices. Furthermore, South Korea has become a prominent player in global Christianity, a leader in sending missionaries overseas. How should we understand the ubiquitous presence of Christianity in “secular” modern Korea? Recent scholarship suggests that</span><span lang=EN-AU style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'> </span><span lang=EN-AU style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#222222'>the boundary between the sacred/religious and the secular/material has never been clear-cut; rather, it has been and remains fluid and constitutive. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#222222'>We invite proposals that shed new light on the dynamic, sometimes conflicting and sometimes synergistic relationships that exist between the sacred and the secular in Korea. We are particularly interested in analyses that tease out the subtle but pervasive influence of Christianity within the sociopolitical, economic, cultural and affective domains. Taking Korea as a case study, we aim to offer significant insights into the intersection of the religious with the secular, material and social. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span lang=EN-AU style='font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#222222'>The workshop is being organized by the Center for Korean Research (CKR) of Columbia University with generous support from the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2016-OLU-2250006).
