capitalism, while exploring its contribution to the debates on Marxist theories. Leading Marxist scholars in Korea will comprehend the characteristics of Korean capitalism in terms of its industrial and financial forms, the commodification of labour power,
social formation, state politics, and the debate on periodization among others. Each of their research illuminates why the Marxist perspectives are vital to understanding thorny and enduring debates on Korean society and history and in what ways these studies
of Korean capitalism contribute decisively to advancing Marxist theories. Taking a new approach to Korean studies, this conference matches presenters with discussants who conduct research on places outside Korea but share theoretical interests to facilitate
discussions across area studies and disciplines. </span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
