The other replaces a Tokyo-versus-Government-General model of Japanese colonial rule with an account of competing imperial institutions and strategies. </span></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent">Two articles question dominant frameworks of value and expertise: one links premodern copy-makers and craftsmen with the 1990s Art Tech Group through a model of art that joins creation, skill, material practice, and collective knowledge. The other shows how Dorothea Sich's work in 1970s rural South Korea challenged Western-centered development by emphasizing medical pluralism and local health practices. </span></div><div><br></div><div>The issue also examines the New Right, whose late-1980s origins reveal a failed attempt to break convincingly with the old conservative establishment, and the role of Vietnamese religious practices in Vietnam War fiction by B\u1ea3o Ninh, Tim O'Brien, and Hwang Sok-yong, who use them to expose war's violence, mourn its victims, and challenge the ideologies that justify it.<div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div style="line-height:150%;padding:0px;margin:0px"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:10pt"><span style="color:rgb(10,10,10);font-family:"Google Sans Variable",ui-sans-serif,system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Ubuntu,Cantarell,"Noto Sans",sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol","Noto Color Emoji";font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent"><br></span></div>All articles are published under a CC-BY-ND license and are freely available to read, download, and share, with proper attribution to the authors and Korea Journal.
