[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 116, Issue 16: Hyun Kyong Chang's query

Sat Feb 16 17:19:23 EST 2013

Dear Hyun Kyong:
It seems that for the first piece you may be looking for an article I
published in the* Journal of Asian Studies:*
*   *"Carving Out Space: Civil Society and the Women's Movement in South
Korea"  61:2(May 2002): 473-500. This article discusses the film in the
context of analyzing the postcolonial condition and the revival of
"tradition."

For the second piece about preening, you seem to look for chapter 2
Nationalism and Construction of Gender in Korea  written by Chungmoo Choi
 in *Dangerous Women: Gender & Korean Nationalism* (Routledge 1997). This
book chapter also has discussion of the film in a somewhat different
context as well.

Best,

> ?We petition the Yale administration to establish a Korean studies program
> built on a Korean concentration within the East Asian Studies major,? said

> The petition says that Korean studies is an indispensable asset considering

>
> Currently, the American university offers Chinese and Japanese studies
> programs only under its East Asian Studies major.
>
> The petition said that it is a ?shame? that Yale neglects such a relevant
> academic field because other prestigious U.S. colleges, such as Harvard,
> Columbia and Berkeley, are provide Korean studies programs with abundant
> academic resources.
>
> However, the college administration is reluctant to offer an academic
> program on the country due to financial reasons.

> Yale Daily News reported earlier this month that despite the importance of
