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.
