[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 204, Issue 1

[Sojin Yang]

Dear Koreanstudies,


Greetings.

This is Gayougn Yang who got Ph. D. in Korean Literature in Korea
University with a thesis on a comparative study between the narrative and
style of modern novels and folktales. I’m teaching writing at Kongju
National University and National University of Transportation.

 As I'm writing a work on Peter Lee's *History of Korean Literature* I
would like to ask you if you could do a little survey.

I need to check how common it is used in universities.



1. Were there lectures which cover Peter Lee's *History of Korean
Literature *in your department and which were they?

If not

2. Is there a lecture which includes Peter Lee's *History of Korean
Literature *in the list of a reference?

3. Were there no lectures which covered Peter Lee's *History of Korean
Literature*?

Or

4. Till when there was a lecture which covered Peter Lee's *History of
Korean Literature *in the lecture?





I really appreciate your attention.

If you want to add more information on Peter Lee's *History of Korean
Literature *it would be so grateful. I look forward to seeing you in a
great academic occasion.



Sincerely yours,

Gayoung Yang

> *Call for Papers*
>
>
>
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The “Performing Translation” special issue of *Situations: Cultural
> Studies in the Asian Context* brings together two keywords that have
> helped shape discourse on transnational cultural studies in the
> twenty-first century: performance and translation. Both concepts understand
> culture as fluid, shifting, and constantly on the move. Both are predicated
> on cultural encounter and exchange. Both performance and translation are
> iterative acts that challenge the notion of an original.
>
>
> This issue recognizes the prominence of translation in Asian histories—for
> example, the founding of the *Bansho Shirabesho *in Edo Japan to
> translate foreign texts or the legacy of English-language colonial
> education in India. In the past, translation has sparked discourse on
> problematic Western paradigms of modernity, knowledge, and Empire in Asia,
> as well as, paradoxically, reflection on an essentialized “East,” filtered
> through layers of Orientalist knowledge and various ethno-nationalisms. At
> the same time, translation also creates spaces of resistance from both
> domestic and foreign power, transforming hierarchical binaries of colonizer
> and colonized, center and margin, original and copy.
>
>
>
> In response to Lawrence Venuti’s critique of the translator’s historical
> invisibility, this issue frames translations as performative acts. Sandra
> Bermann notes a performative turn in translation studies that emphasizes
> “the cultural and political *acts* and *effects* of translation” and “the
> *doing* of translation: the doing of languages and texts; but also the
> doing of translators, readers, and audiences” (288). Because of its
> adaptive nature, translation has the potential to create transnational
> positionalities—for example, in Beng Huat Chua’s work on the formation of
> East Asian Pop Culture through the subtitling and dubbing of imported
> television dramas. The rich field of diasporic art and literature, often
> multilingual, also highlights translation’s ability to produce the
> transnational identity of its speaker. Furthermore, there is the notion of
> performability, or “stage-worthiness,” in theatre translation—in other
> words, whether a given translation fits the linguistic and cultural
> conventions of the target language. Thus, highlighting performance helps
> counter still-prevalent expectations that a translation should be faithful
> to its source.
>
>
>
> Translation theorists note that the Latin etymology of the word *translation
> *(to “carry across”) implies dimensions of space and time—another point
> of contact with performance. This issue also considers translation as
> embodied practice, situated in the material conditions of the translator
> with regards to class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and ability. In
> the preface to her translation of Mahasweta Devi’s stories, Gayatri
> Chakravorty Spivak highlights the embodied spatiality and motility of
> translation, noting that her work “faces in two directions, encounters two
> readerships with a strong exchange in various enclaves” (268). Spivak is
> speaking of India and the United States; translation by nature crosses
> borders and thus sheds light on issues of nationalism and transnationality.
> Emily Apter has proposed the term “translation zone” to “imagine a broad
> intellectual topography that is neither the property of a single nation,
> nor an amorphous condition associated with postnationalism, but rather a
> zone of critical engagement that connects the ‘l’ and the ‘n’ of
> transLation and transNation” (5). Spanning hundreds of languages, Asia is
> rife with such translation zones, structured around multiple lingual
> nexuses such as Chinese, Hindi, and English.
>
> How may we understand translation as cultural practice in Asia? How has
> (mis)translation shaped international relations in and beyond Asia, as well
> as among different ethnic and language groups within nations? How may we
> account for the prominence of translation in new fields of cultural
> production in Asia, from networked industries in mass media, musical
> theatre, and tourism to subcultures formed by migrant workers and
> advancements in machine translation technology? In what sense is this
> international journal published in English by a South Korean University
> always already a translation?

> Subject: [KS] Help with the survey on compliments and compliment responses
>
> Dear Korean Studies Scholars,
>
>
> My name is Ekaterina Malik and I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of
> Asian, Middle Eastern, and Turkish studies at Stockholm University. I am
> currently writing my thesis regarding the acquisition of compliments and
> compliment responses by Swedish learners of Korean as a foreign language.
> In order to establish the baseline, I need data from Korean native speakers
> who are students. The survey consists of 12 face-to-face situations of
> giving/receiving compliments, where the respondents should react just if
> these situations happened in real life. The respondents should be students
> because the situations in the survey are designed for the studying context,
> and my main research subjects (Swedish learners of Korean) are students as
> well. Therefore I am kindly asking for your help in distributing the survey
> among Korean students in your universities or any Korean students you have
> the access to.
> This is the link to the survey  https://survey.su.se/Survey/33979
> <https://survey.su.se/Survey/34763>
> I would sincerely appreciate any help.
> With kindest regards,

> Dear Editors,

> I would like to draw the members attention to the following:
>
> The Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University has
> opened two postdoctoral research fellowships. We welcome applications from
> scholars with an Asian or Korean Studies background, and proposals which
> focus singularly on Korea, or that look at Korea in the context of the
> region (we also welcome proposals on Japan, or China).
>
> The description refers to 'contemporary society', which covers a wide
> range of research topics, from Cultural Studies to International Relations.
