[KS] militarization and cultural impact on Korea

Wed Nov 18 21:30:03 EST 2009

You might find my book Power, Interest and Identity in Military Alliances (New York and London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007) useful. If you are interested in how the US military presence has affected Koreans' discourses about their identity, North Korea's and American's, you may want to jump into Chapter Four. If you are more interested in the rise of military industrial complex and its ties with the US, Chapter Three will be of interest. Best of luck with your research.

Dear colleagues,

I am writing a paper on "Militarization of the Korean peninsula, the cultural impact of the US presence in Korea and the transformation of the territory". This paper is part of a project on "Contemporary Violences" in Anthropology. Therefore, I would be looking for some informations, books, articles on the subject, or something related to it.

Thank you very much,

Anne Morin

One book at which to look would be Brazinki's "Nation Building in South
Korea", which contains a lot of information presented within a useful
interpretive frame about the creation of modern military institutions in
South Korea between 1945 and the early 1980s.

It depends on your theoretical approach (poststructuralist?) but I would recommend to examine the Minjung movement and how they have confronted and reacted on the enormous cultural impact of the US (Americanization) since the division of the peninsula, how it has changed Korean people's mindset and which role the concept of modernity and post-colonialism (Korean people's colonized consciousness) played.  Look for example for Namhee Lee, Choi Cuhungmoo or with a different approach Shin Gi-Wook.

Good luck, Tobias

Dear Anne,

In addition to Tobias's excellent suggestions, I would also recommend
three other important works, two academic studies and, in my view, the
best novel on Korea written in English: Seungsook Moon's  Militarized
Modernity and Gendered Citizenship in South Korea (Duke University
Press, 2005); Katharine Moon's Sex Among Allies: Military Prostitution
in U.S.-South Korea Relations (Columbia University Press, 1997); and
Heinz Insu Fenkl's novel/auto-ethnography, Memories of My Ghost
Brother (originally published in 1997 and now available from Bo-Leaf,
2005).

Wishing you the best with your research,

Ted Hughes
