[KS] Eastern Ways, Western Machines

[ifenkl at aol.com]

"Eastern Ways, Western Means" sounds more poetic. If you take the "machine" gi to
refer generally to technology, then look at the root "techno," meaning "skill" or "art," I think you have 
a nice etymological transfer.

Dear members,

I've been trying to locate an English scholarship on 'dong-do-seo-gi' for some time. A quick google search on  'Eastern Ways, Western Machines' doesn't yield much results so I wonder if there is a more common English translation for the phrase. My main interest is how this adage has survived, taken away from the original context born out in the 19th century Joseon, and has been used to explain Korea's various globalization strategies and cultural policies. 

Thank you
