[KS] September 2018 Issue of "Cross-Currents" Available Online

Dear Korean Studies Discussion List:

The 28th quarterly issue of our open-access e‑journal *Cross-Currents: East
Asian History and Culture Review*
<https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-28> is now online.

https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-28

The theme of this issue—“Writing Revolution in Northeast Asia”—was chosen
by guest editor *Steven S. Lee*(UC Berkeley) with the purpose of
“revisiting Russian and Soviet visions of revolution and their fraught,
indelible imprint on China, Japan, and Korea” primarily through a focus on
literary circulation. Together, the contributors—*Heekyoung Cho* (U
Washington), *Jeehyun Choi* (UC Berkeley), *Katerina Clark* (Yale), *Sunyoung
Park*(USC), and *Vladimir Tikhonov* (U Oslo)—unearth what Lee describes in
his introduction as a “latent, variegated internationalism behind
established authors and concepts—not to drape the interwar years with
nostalgia or regret, but to articulate long-lost spatial and historical
constellations geared towards reimagining the present.” In his afterword to
the issue, *Edward Tyerman* (UC Berkeley) highlights the ways in which the
collection brings together two regions—Russia/Eurasia and East
Asia—traditionally held apart by the spatial divisions of area studies,
thereby offering “productive insights into how these two spaces and their
interactions might de-center hegemonic models of global space, global
history, and world literature in the early twentieth century.”

The issue also includes reviews of six recent publications on East Asia and
a photo essay by *Judd C. Kinzley*(U Wisconsin) titled, “The Relics of
Empire: Resource Extraction and the Making of Modern Xinjiang.”
