From mdale3 at usfca.edu Wed Dec 1 14:27:24 2021 From: mdale3 at usfca.edu (Melissa Dale) Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 11:27:24 -0800 Subject: [KS] Online Lecture: Sticky Activism: Online Misogyny And Feminist Movements In South Korea Message-ID: The University of San Francisco Center for Asia Pacific Studies welcomes Jinsook Kim for a discussion on the ways in which digital media have become a key battlefield in the intense cultural and political conflict between feminists and misogynists that has been playing out in South Korea since 2013. Dr. Kim will show how new modes of feminist activism on and offline have contested the pervasive misogyny in the country by increasing public interest in gender issues and extending the reach of feminism. Focusing on the concept of ?sticky activism,? Dr. Kim argues that these efforts have contributed to the formation of feminist counterpublics that have served to articulate gendered discontent with misogynistic culture and society and to challenge deep-seated gender violence in the country.

Advanced Ph.D. candidates and recent Ph.D. graduates whose research pertains to Korea can apply to this non-teaching research residency. Application deadline is February 11th, 2022. The LB Korean Studies Research Scholars research program within the East Asia Program and the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell University aims to cultivate new collaborations that advance scholarship, knowledge dissemination, teaching, outreach, and engagement with general publics for a deeper understanding of Korea in the contemporary world. The program is open to scholars whose research and teaching focuses on Korea, especially with a comparative, global, and/or interdisciplinary perspective. LB Korean Studies Research Scholars can have backgrounds in any discipline, as well as conduct interdisciplinary research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In addition to more traditional Korean studies fields, we envision Korea-focused work in areas such as STEM, public health, urban planning, architecture, and others. Selection will be based on the potential of the candidate?s research to cultivate dialogue and nurture collaboration across academic disciplines, as well as integrate, synthesize, and build upon existing disciplinary contributions to Korean studies research, broadly conceived. Scholars will work within the East Asia Program and the Einaudi Center for International Studies as well as engaging with mentors and peers across Cornell. Role Scholars will join a dynamic interdisciplinary center that brings together deep scholarly expertise with broad interdisciplinary global concerns. Scholars will benefit from training and mentoring in academic publishing and public scholarship as they contribute to the East Asia Program?s vision to advance the interdisciplinary study of Korea. They will organize programming (such as pedagogical and research events and/or colloquia), coordinate with faculty and students, identify and liaise with global and community partners, and support the communications team to disseminate the initiative?s research and events. Scholars will spend roughly 50% of their time on their research, and 50% of their time on the LB KSRS initiative. Position available: * Post-doctoral visiting scholar, or * Pre-doctoral visiting scholar The LB Korean Studies Research Scholar may be either a post-doctoral visiting scholar (within 5 years of their Ph.D. conferral) or a Ph.D. candidate at an advanced stage of their doctorate (completing their dissertation).

The goal of the issue is to produce interdisciplinary and transhistorical studies to better understand how (non-normative) gender, sexuality, and queerness in Asia are mediated, felt, practiced, and controlled across/in everyday life and institutions in Korea and beyond. In doing so, this issue aims to promote intersectional studies that show how gender and sexuality are structured and transformed by sociohistorical formations of race, class, and the authoritarian, neoliberal, and developmental states in Asia. As queer and Asia(as geopolitical metaphor) are similar in being indeterminate and ambiguous without fixed references, their realigned relationship can offer critical lenses through which to complement queer theories and Asian studies. While queer of color scholars and queer leftists in the early 2000s have argued for the intervention of queer theories in globalization, imperialism, and neoliberal capitalism to counter self-referential logics of US centrism, such engagements have yet to be fully enacted (Eng, Halberstam, & Munoz 2005; Duggan 2003). In this context, queer theories need Asian studies to challenge and overcome Euro-American centrism and reification of Asia as an object of study through inter-Asian referencing while Asian studies need queer theories to move beyond Asia as area studies and the complicity with the nation-state (Chiang & Wong 2017). In this context, queer Asian studies could analyze the connection between the global reconfiguration of sexuality and so-called Asian values such as Confucianism and developmentalism. Similarly, in his Introduction to /Korea Journal/?s Special Issue on Queer Korea, Todd Henry (2018) articulates queer Korean studies as critique to address how queer studies enhance the critical understanding of Korea, including not only its gender and sexual norms and their variances but also its illiberal institutions, citizenship, and nation-state. Against this backdrop, this special issue continues such efforts to engage in ongoing discussions on, as Asian queer scholars have raised, how queer matters for Asia and how Asia matters for queer (Chiang & Wong 2017). This issue welcomes both (1) theoretical essays aimed at critical reflection and construction on queer and Korea (and Asia) and (2) empirical research papers that will contribute to the approach to queer Korea and queer Asian studies as critique. Topics include but are not limited to: biopolitics on non-conforming gender and sexual practices during the pandemic How gender and sexual norms are essential to Asian modernity Feminist and LGBTQ movements Queer cultural production Non-normative gender and sexual practices in/across Asia Media representation of LGBTQ people and non-conforming gender and sexuality Digital media and gender and sexual practices Postcolonial approach to queer Asia Queer citizenship Queer approaches to nation and the state Racism intersecting with gender variance and sexuality The tensions and relationship between feminism and queer politics in Asia If you are interested in submitting a paper, please send a manuscript (8000 words) to special edition guest editor Dr. Woori Han (woorihan at upenn.edu) and to journal?s office (ijkhinfo at gmail.com ) by *_February 10_**_^th _**_2022. _*Please see the instructions for authors at (https://ijkh.khistory.org/authors/authors.php).

Kim Jong Un?s words from 2020 will have a familiarity to analysts of North Korean and East Asian environmental/agricultural history. Calls from North Korea?s leadership since 1945 to make its national terrains verdant are matched in frequency by analysis which asserts their barren and degraded nature. Japanese colonial horror at the unproductive red soils of Korea?s uplands recounted by Fedman (2020) are joined by remote sensing analysis recording the impact of ecological near collapse in North Korea in the 1990s. Similarly they're familiar to interactions between Geographers of Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and colonial Korea as they sought to make soils of terrains newly captured by the Japanese Empire knowable and productive in the 1930s and 40s. However hard the task of its maintenance, soil, earth and humus, have always been vital and vibrant matters to East Asian developmental politics. The transformation of Manchuria/Manchukuo and Mengjiang/Inner Mongolia and their soils from barren wastes to productive terrains in a modern ambitious Empire was vital for the academic communities of Japan, its colonies and allies. Deep, rich, productive, energetic earth has long been seen by Pyongyang as a necessary marker of developmental legitimacy in North Korea, and soil and its reclamation/enrichment are frequent topics of research and state media output. This talk considers the political geographies of soil in East Asia, with the speaker's past writing on East Asian and Korea environmental/ecological history in mind, as well as groundbreaking work from Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro (2014) on soil?s place in leftist, revolutionary and de-colonial politics. Having traced the research journeys of colonial era academics in the 1930s and 1940s, it examines the unmaking of colonial soils in the early years of Korean statehoods, the chemicalisation of North Korea?s earth in the 1960s-1970s. Finally, I explore the contemporary terrains of humus in North Korea and Pyongyang?s efforts to make new earth(s). This event is hosted by the Research Centre for the Environmental Humanities. About the speaker Robert Winstanley-Chesters is a geographer, Lecturer at York St John University, Visiting Fellow at Bath Spa University, and at the University of Leeds and a Member of Wolfson College, Oxford, as well as the Managing Editor of the European Journal of Korean Studies.

This is the fourth session of the webinar series 2021-2022 of the ERC project team, "Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598". In this session Prof. Katayama Mabi, Tokyo University of the Arts, will share her thoughts on the transformation of Chos?n and Hizen wares in the aftermath of the Imjin War. BACKGROUND The ?Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598? project is a five year, European Research Council Starting Grant project (2018-2023) run by ICREA professor Rebekah Clements at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The project seeks to understand the legacy of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, also known as the Imjin War and Toyotomi Hideyoshi?s invasions of Korea. Aftermath will be the first large scale investigation to combine Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sources in order to understand, not the war itself, but something which is arguably even more important: the aftermath and its implications for early modern East Asia. Our research focuses on three themes; Social change / Environment and economy / Diffusion of Technology.

"The Transformation of Chos?n and Hizen Wares as a Result of the Imjin War? (in Japanese) Katayama Mabi (Professor, Tokyo University of the Arts) * December 15, 2021, 3:00 PM (Barcelona, CET) via ZOOM. * The lecture will NOT be recorded. * An abstract in English will be provided and the question time will be held in both English and Japanese. * If you would like to attend the webinars, please contact barend.noordam at uab.cat. * If you already registered for previous seminars, there is no need to register again. This is the fourth session of the webinar series 2021-2022 of the ERC project team, "Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598". In this session Prof. Katayama Mabi, Tokyo University of the Arts, will share her thoughts on the transformation of Chos?n and Hizen wares in the aftermath of the Imjin War. BACKGROUND The ?Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598? project is a five year, European Research Council Starting Grant project (2018-2023) run by ICREA professor Rebekah Clements at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The project seeks to understand the legacy of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, also known as the Imjin War and Toyotomi Hideyoshi?s invasions of Korea. Aftermath will be the first large scale investigation to combine Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sources in order to understand, not the war itself, but something which is arguably even more important: the aftermath and its implications for early modern East Asia. Our research focuses on three themes; Social change / Environment and economy / Diffusion of Technology.

Joshua Young) Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 21:11:52 +0000 Subject: [KS] Pls post: Cornell EAP accepting applications for a post-doctoral or pre-doctoral research fellow in Korean studies In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I am writing with a bit more explanation as there have been several inquiries following on professor Wang?s KS list note that perhaps the stipend amount is posted in error, with the implication being that this fellowship is too low for a postdoc position. It?s good to have this academic labor discussion out in the open. Kudos to this list. The details advertised, including the stipend amount, are correct. This position is not a postdoc, but mostly a predoc visiting fellow with the option to include people who have completed their PhDs. It is a Ph.D. candidate exchange fellowship, without the exchange. The stipend is Cornell?s research graduate student standard. We?re hoping to make the residency worthwhile with mentorship in academic publishing, public scholarship, and grant writing, which are professional skills that many graduate students do not get during their course work and dissertation research. The duties amount to inviting several guest speakers over the year and participating in reading groups and other activities in the international studies center here at Cornell. The fellow will not be expected to be doing the administrative work of the initiative, but rather to contribute some programming such as inviting speakers that comes out of their research. The initiative is directed by a committee of faculty here at Cornell, including the director of the East Asia Program and myself. There will be considerable staff support from us for the programming, and the fellow will be able to devote most of their time to their research. This fellowship is debuting in the 2022-2023 academic year, and will repeat annually into the foreseeable future. In these lean times for the academic job market, we hope this provides a bridge for some and will be mutually beneficial in connecting Cornell to exciting work by young scholars. Part of the project is to network with young scholars and learn what work is going on in Korean studies considered broadly. I do hope a broad range of young scholars will apply if the fellowship fits with their career. Do not hesitate to contact me with questions.

Call For Papers: The Hallyu Project, A Post45 Contemporaries Cluster Submit abstracts and bios to Yin Yuan (yy8 at stmarys-ca.edu) by March 1, 2022. CFP website: https://thehallyuproject-p45.com/ Post45 Contemporaries website: https://post45.org/contemporaries/ *** *THE HALLYU PROJECT: A Post45 Contemporaries Cluster* Squid Game?s global impact barely needs introduction. The first ever television series to top Netflix daily charts in every single country where the streaming service is available. Netflix?s most-watched series as of October 2021, a distinction previously held by the American period drama Bridgerton. What is more impressive is that the South Korean show achieved this in a non-English language, proving that Parasite?s cultural breakthrough in 2019 was not simply an anomaly. Perhaps English-speaking viewers have finally, to quote Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, overcome ?the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles.? But why now? *The Hallyu Project cluster invites contributors to think about how, why, and whither Korean popular culture is resonating worldwide at this moment in time. What distinctive structures of feeling do Korean cultural products offer in a world that must increasingly reckon with neoliberal precarity, physical displacements, and global systems of exploitation? How has the production and reception of Korean pop culture opened up questions of racial capitalism, super-exploitation, neocolonialism, cultural hybridity, media trans-nationalization, and fandom culture?* Squid Game shines a light on these issues, but it is far from the only Korean show to do so. Reflective of what has been termed South Korea?s ?compressed modernity,? in which explosive post-war economic growth also led to tremendous social upheaval, Korean television and film tend to underscore the ways in which individual lives are caught within broader socioeconomic, gender, national, and imperial contexts. Tracing all the way back to the Golden Age of South Korean Cinema (1955-72), these narratives have long been invested in exploring how, as Kathleen McHugh writes, ?personal frustration becomes the basis for interpersonal identification that is at once familial, social, and political.? What new understandings emerge when we locate Squid Game within this long history of performing the personal as the political? How is that politics complicated by the ambivalent status of the Hallyu commodity, a commodity produced both to express domestic concerns and for exporting to a global audience? Is Hallyu necessarily self-conscious? How are Hallyu products differently received by Koreans, the Korean diaspora, countries outside of Korea, seasoned Hallyu fans, and other international viewers? What implications does this hold for our understanding of Hallyu and online fandom? Suggested lines of inquiry for cluster contributions include, but are not limited to: -The unstable meanings of Hallyu: What is it, who owns it, who is it for, what ends does it serve? -Cultural analyses of Korean media content: Analyze Korean tv shows, music, film, variety programs, and other relevant narrative/audiovisual modes within a domestic and/or transnational context. What makes them distinctive? -Hallyu?s (neo)colonial roots and/or (post)colonial implications -Cross-cultural comparisons: Compare Korean and non-Korean popular media. As an example: What distinguishes Squid Game from other cultural offerings within the ?battle royale? genre, such as America?s Hunger Games and Japan?s Alice in Borderland? -The self-consciousness of Hallyu products: their mutual references and porous boundaries. As an example: How does Squid Game?s themes, motifs, and eye-popping sets connect and/or consciously allude to other Korean cultural exports, including variety game shows, K-pop, and other internationally popular tv shows? -Digital Hallyu: The influence of streaming and social media platforms on Korean popular culture -Hallyu fandom: Fan practices and their potentially transformative power -Hallyu's uneven reception across different communities and cultures: Koreans, the Korean diaspora, the Global South, the Global North, seasoned fans, novice viewers, etc. *** What is a Post45 Contemporaries ?cluster?? Post45 Contemporaries provides a forum for writers to converse with one another more directly and informally than in traditional academic publications. These curated conversations, or ?clusters,? range from sets of relatively autonomous short essays on a common theme to extended epistolary exchanges. Please visit the Post45 Contemporaries website (linked at top of this post) for examples of what clusters look and sound like. *** What should a contribution sound like? Intellectually stimulating, but conversational; rigorous, but accessible. Designed to spark thought and debate, at dinner tables and in undergraduate classrooms alike. Not too long?about 3,000 words or so.

This will be an online Zoom conference with simultaneous interpretation of English and Korean, as well as speech-to-text transcription of the presentations and discussions. Please see the description below for the conference schedule as well as how to register. We look forward to seeing you there. The 6th Yonsei Korean Studies Forum Archiving Korean Studies: The Position of Translators, Queers, and Archivists ?DATE/TIME: January 8, 2022 (Sat) 10:00 AM - 18:00 PM (KST) ?FORMAT: Virtual Conference via Zoom ?Simultaneous Interpretation (Eng?Kor) & Speech-to-Text Transcription will be provided. ?Registration: Please register at https://forms.gle/UXA7AViTVuJfKgmk8, we will send you a zoom invitation link prior to the date. ?Hosted by Yonsei University: the Institute for Korean Studies, the Institute for the Study of Korean Modernity (HK?), and Underwood International College The 6th Yonsei Korean Studies Forum, co-hosted by the Institute for Korean Studies (IKS), the Institute for the Study of Korean Modernity (ISKM), and the Underwood International College (UIC) at Yonsei University, will take place on January 8, 2022. In this forum, we reexamine both the foundation and formation of Korean Studies and East Asian Studies from the position of translators, queers, and archivists. This theme reflects not only existing trends in the recent publication or translation of noteworthy academic books in the field of Korean Studies, but also recognizes the complex intersection of ethnicity and minority issues. While there has been innovative research conducted from the perspective of translators, queers, and archivists, these trends have not received much attention from Korean Studies or East Asian Studies. Consequently, we seek to explore new paths of critical inquiry that incorporate these perspectives into the fields of Korean and East Asian Studies. Using the tradition of resistance and construction as a starting point, the 6th Yonsei Korean Studies Forum aims to highlight the movement of trends in translation, the complexity behind the formation of the Joseon Studies/Korean Studies system, and the translation of Korean Studies archives from queer positions. We ask how Korean Studies and East Asian Studies can sustain research activity that has not yet secured an established position in the existing archives of Korean Studies or not yet been included within established research fields. We ask in what direction the production and circulation of the archives in Korean Studies and East Asian Studies should advance within the intersection of existing power relations. To explore these questions, we are pleased to invite you to our forum and to welcome your expertise and experience to our discussions.

The project seeks to understand the legacy of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, also known as the Imjin War and Toyotomi Hideyoshi?s invasions of Korea. Aftermath will be the first large scale investigation to combine Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sources in order to understand, not the war itself, but something which is arguably even more important: the aftermath and its implications for early modern East Asia. Our research focuses on three themes; Social change / Environment and economy / Diffusion of Technology.
