[KS] Looking for AKSE 2027 Panel Members

[Patrick Vierthaler]

Dear Koreanists,

I am a historian based in Kyoto, Japan, who works on contemporary South Korea. My research mostly deals with the role of collective memory in South Korea's socio-political polarization, and increasingly with the intellectual and political landscape of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

For the upcoming AKSE, I am trying to figure out a panel, and I'd very much welcome to collaborate with researchers I have not yet met yet. The panel I envision is either on "Political Polarization and Memory" or "Right-Wing Discourse" (very broadly). (please see below)
Should anybody be interested, please send me an abstract (300 words) and biographical details tovierthaler.patrick.7a at kyoto-u.ac.jp by 31 August the latest. If possible, send me an email of a rough planned topic as soon as possible, so that I can plan accordingly which direction the panel would take.
My own topic is not final at the moment, I am considering one of the following: (a) the origins of the New Right, 1998-2003; (b) the collaborator issue and Donga Ilbo; (c) a discoursive analysis of historical fact-finding discussions during the Kim Dae-jung and early Roh Moo-hyun administrations.

Topic (a) is connected to topics such as discourses over neoliberalism in 1990s South Korea, NK human rights movements origins, the wake of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, or a diversification of media around 1998.

I look forward to hear from you!
