[KS] Publication Announcement: Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2

[Korea, Journal]

Dear list members,



We are delighted to announce the publication of the Summer 2014 issue (vol.
54, no. 2) of the *Korea Journal*, which contains seven peer-reviewed
articles covering various topics in the field of Korean Studies and two
book reviews.



In the first article, authors Seol and Seo examine the emergence of
minority groups in the backdrop of globalization and democratization in
Korea, and how ethnic/social minorities in Korean society have been
hierarchically ranked according to the binary logic of inclusion/exclusion.



The second article by Kang analyses the Korean attitude toward Southeast
Asia during Japanese colonial rule, and terms it as “another form of
Orientalism” to show the similarities and contrasts between those of Japan
and the West.



The third article by Jongmyung Kim examines the meaning of Queen Munjeong’s
pro-Buddhist activities and politics “from behind the bamboo curtain” (*suryeom
cheongjeong*) during her reign.



In the fourth article, Yun-hee Kim locates elements of *alba*, a Western
literary style, in both Korean and Chinese classical literature, and
identifies the unique characteristics of Korean classical poetry.



The fifth article, written by Lim, analyzes the significance of Yu
Gil-jun’s *Seoyu gyeonmun* (Observations on a Journey to the West) in the
development of the mixed writing style, *gukhanmun*, and critically reviews
its controversial relationship with Fukuzawa’s *Seiyo jijo* (Conditions in
the West).



Lee and Workman examines determinants of young Korean consumers’ brand
consciousness on luxury goods, to show a relationship between personal
values, demographics, and brand consciousness.



Lastly, Moenig, Cho, and Kwak reviews Taekwondo textbooks published between
1945 and 1970, to suggest that the martial art could have originated from
Japanese karate.



This issue of the *Korea Journal* includes a book review of Hyuk-Rae
Kim’s *State-centric
to Contested Social Governance in Korea: Shifting Power*, in which the
author analyzes social changes that enabled the civil sector to become a
major player in the policy-making process in Korean society. Also included
is a book review of Lee Seung-Hwan’s *Hoengseol-gwa suseol: seongni
nonjaeng-e daehan eoneo bunseokjeok haemyeong* (Horizontal and Vertical
Frames: Linguistic Analytic Elucidation of Neo-Confucian Debates), where
the author suggests a linguistic analytic approach to Joseon Neo-Confucian
moral metaphysics debate, and its implication to twenty-first century
Korea.
