[KS] Korean Literatures: Connecting Beyond the Division System

[Stephen Epstein]

Hi all,

Please find below information on an upcoming Zoom seminar that may be of interest to list members:

How do the literatures of the Korean diaspora make possible ways of thinking beyond the division system? How might diasporic literatures create possibilities for life on the peninsula and beyond? Join a panel of scholars, writers and activists discussing Korean literatures of community.
Panelists:
Professor Seo-Young Chu (City University New York), author of Do Metaphors Dream of Literal Sleep? (Harvard UP, 2010) and the “Finale” to Asian American Literature in Transition (Cambridge UP, 2021);
Professor Kyung Hee Ha (Meiji University), a researcher and scholar-activist writing on Zainichi Korean organising and identity in contemporary Japan;
Dr Rebekah Jaung, National Unification Advisory Council (NZ Branch) and Korean New Zealanders for a Better Future;
Professor Daniel Y. Kim (Brown), author of The Intimacies of Conflict: Cultural Memory and the Korean War (NYU Press, 2020).

This panel is part of a special session convened to complement ENGL330, Postcolonial Literature, a course exploring Korean literatures of the freedom struggle.
Online panel held over Zoom. Free but registration is essential: https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/events/2021/11/korean-literatures-connecting-beyond-the-division-system. For more information contact Dougal McNeill (dougal.mcneill at vuw.ac.nz).
