<i>Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia (PAHA)</i>a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Ateneo de Manila Universityinvites submissions for a special issue on contemporary Korea organized around the theme of remainder and disposability.</div>

Theodor Adorno (1966, 1970) famously theorized the remainder as that which resists complete subsumption into dominant social systems, serving as the truth content of art and a basis for ethico-political dissent. More recently, in the context of neoliberal
Philippines, Neferti X. M. Tadiar (2022) reconceptualized the remainder as other practices of life-making that harbor tangential, fugitive, and recalcitrant creative social capacities. While capitalism depends on the disposability of such lives, their
vitality crucially exceeds the vitality of productive labor on which capitalism relies. Remaindering, then, is an effect of marginalization and erasure by hegemonic processes, as well as an opening for new possibilities.</div>

This special issue welcomes contributions from across the Korean humanities that expand upon and innovate on these formulations. Beyond Marxian-humanist frameworks, the problem of remaindering and disposability can also resonate with inquiries in areas such
as media archaeology, ecocriticism, posthumanism, and disability studies. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following questions:</div>
