Podcasts about choson

Anxiety may have been abounding in the old Cold War West that progress - whether political or economic - has been reversed, but for citizens of former-socialist countries, murky temporal trajectories are nothing new. Grounded in the multiethnic frontier town of Hunchun at the triple border of China, Russia, and North Korea, Ed Pulford traces how several of global history's most ambitiously totalizing progressive endeavors have ended in cataclysmic collapse here. From the Japanese empire which banished Qing, Tsarist, and Choson dynastic histories from the region, through Chinese, Soviet, and Korean socialisms, these borderlands have seen projections and disintegrations of forward-oriented ideas accumulate on a grand scale. Taking an archaeological approach to notions of historical progress, the book's three parts follow an innovative structure moving backwards through linear time. Part I explores “post-historical” Hunchun's diverse sociopolitics since high socialism's demise. Part II covers the socialist era, discussing cross-border temporal synchrony between China, Russia, and North Korea. Finally, Part III treats the period preceding socialist revolutions, revealing how the collapse of Qing, Tsarist, and Choson dynasties marked a compound “end of history” which opened the area to projections of modernity and progress. Examining a borderland across linguistic, cultural, and historical lenses, Past Progress: Time and Politics at the Borders of China, Russia, and Korea (Stanford UP, 2024) is a simultaneously local and transregional analysis of time, borders, and the state before, during, and since socialism. Ed Pulford is Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. His research and teaching focus on anthropological and historical approaches to Eurasian borderlands, Sino-Russian relations, the past and present of socialism, and comparative experiences of socialism and empire. He has lived and worked in China, Russia, Japan, and Korea. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of the anthropology of state, the anthropology of time, hope studies, and post-structuralist philosophy.

Daily Dose# 289 Rav Shmuel Aurbach - lowered himself to preserve a choson's dignity  

Harav Yussie Zakutinsky Shlita

In the face of a Korean cultural world preoccupied with newness, literary output from the more measured and regulated Choson period (1392-1910) can seem difficult to engage with for readers both inside and outside the country. But as Ksenia Chizhova's Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday (Columbia UP, 2021) shows, a particular genre of late-Chsoson lineage novels reflect not only the staid norms of Confucian patriarchy and heredity, but also a more textured world of unruly emotions, gendered family disputes, calligraphic creativity and scandal simmering under the surface of mundane domestic life. Ed Pulford is an Anthropologist and Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on friendships and histories between the Chinese, Korean and Russian worlds, and indigeneity in northeast Asia. Learn more about your ad choices.

North Korean women are entrepreneurs.Not the first thing you might think of, but a reality that STIMY's latest guest - Geoffrey See - knows very well.So who is Geoffrey See?Here's a quick run down

“Mở mắt thấy đồi, mở nồi thấy kim chi” hay “địa ngục Choson” là những câu truyền miệng của người lao động nhập cư hoặc của chính người dân Hàn Quốc để thể hiện sự khó khăn khi sống và làm việc tại quốc gia này. Đối lập với hình ảnh đó, du lịch đến xứ sở kim chi lại tăng trưởng thần tốc qua các năm và luôn được yêu thích bởi mọi lứa tuổi và quốc gia. Để có được sức tăng trưởng vượt bậc so với các quốc gia khác ở châu Á, Hàn Quốc đã phải bỏ ra rất nhiều công sức, từ marketing đến phát triển thị trường và hơn thế nữa là tập trung vào việc phát triển bền vững để du khách một đi muốn trở lại nhiều lần. Hành trình trở thành cường quốc công nghiệp không khói Trước khi được biết đến như một địa điểm du lịch hứa hẹn cho tất cả mọi người, từ những người cao tuổi đến những người trẻ tuổi, Hàn Quốc chỉ đón 10.000 khách du lịch vào những năm 1960, theo KBS. Tuy nhiên, con số khiêm tốn đó đã thay đổi, số khách du lịch đến Hàn Quốc liên tục tăng kể từ năm 1961 - năm được chỉ định là “Năm du lịch Hàn Quốc”. Không thể phủ nhận rằng số ngoại tệ thu được từ ngành du lịch đã một phần giúp xây dựng đất nước Hàn Quốc từ hoang tàn sau nội chiến liên Triều. Để có được thành công trong quảng bá du lịch, marketing đã đóng góp một vai trò rất lớn. Bằng cách xếp hạng rất nhiều thắng cảnh địa phương, như núi Chirisan (지리산), hay công viên núi lửa Hallasan (한라산) thành các công viên quốc gia vào khoảng những năm 1970, điều này không những giúp tăng trưởng thị phần du lịch tại các tỉnh lẻ mà còn giúp bảo tồn thiên nhiên hoang sơ vô giá tại những khu vực này. Bên cạnh đó, là nước đăng cai hàng loạt sự kiện thể thao quy mô thế giới như Olympic mùa hè 1988, World Cup 2002 và rất nhiều sự kiện thể thao có quy mô khu vực khác, Hàn Quốc đã chủ trương tổ chức một phần sự kiện tại các địa phương. Điều này gián tiếp giới thiệu phong cảnh thiên nhiên, con người Hàn ra toàn thế giới. Tuy nhiên, nếu chỉ có như vậy, có thể khách du lịch sẽ chỉ đến Hàn Quốc một lần và khó có thể trở lại lần thứ 2. Hiểu rõ được nguy cơ này, Hàn Quốc đã đầu tư rất nhiều vào các sản phẩm dịch vụ, làm đẹp, mĩ phẩm, các sản phẩm thời trang hiện đại và mẫu mã được đổi mới liên tục. Chính điều này đã làm cho số lượng lớn khách du lịch quyết tâm phải quay trở lại Hàn Quốc nhiều lần sau đó. Du lịch mua sắm Còn gì tuyệt vời hơn khi chỉ đến với Hàn Quốc là đã được đắm chìm trong hàng loạt trung tâm mua sắm từ hiện đại như Lotte, Huyndai đến truyền thống như chợ sâm Kumsan, chợ thuốc Namdemun. Ngoài ra, đối với các tín đồ mỹ phẩm, con đường Myeodong là một trong những địa điểm buộc phải check-in nếu muốn chứng minh là đã tới Hàn Quốc. Với chính sách bán hàng hoàn thuế cho khách ngoại quốc có visa du lịch, rất nhiều người đã đến Hàn Quốc chỉ để mua hàng miễn thuế và nhiều khi tiền hoàn thuế với tất cả món hàng họ mua còn cao hơn cả chi phí tour du lịch. Chính sách hoàn thuế đa dạng và nhanh gọn từ hoàn thuế ngay tại cửa hàng, hoàn thuế tự động tại sân bay đã khiến cho những người nghiện mua sắm điên đảo khi đến đất nước này. Và chị Hạnh, một “tín đồ mua sắm”, không phải là trường hợp ngoại lệ : “Cá nhân tôi, tôi bị hấp dẫn bởi hai nhóm sản phẩm là mỹ phẩm và thực phẩm chức năng của Hàn Quốc. Tôi sẽ không chỉ đến Hàn Quốc một lần mà sẽ còn đến nhiều lần chỉ để mua những thứ đó. Ví dụ về mỹ phẩm, tôi đã từng nghĩ phải có rất nhiều tiền để mua được món đồ hợp lý, nhưng khi sang Hàn, mới thấy rằng kể cả với số tiền ít thì vẫn có thể mua đươc những món hàng hợp với da của mình. Đặc biệt là con đường mua sắm Myeodong - hàng hóa được sắp xếp cực kỳ bắt mắt. Và một điểm đặc biệt nữa là những nhân viên bán hàng thực sự là những nhân viên cực kỳ xuất sắc. Họ biết được túi tiền của mình, họ khen mình và đưa ra những món sản phẩm hợp lý. Và đặc biệt là tâm lý bầy đàn, khi mà những người đi cùng mình mua thì mình cũng sẽ mua, tuy nhiên khi về đến nhà thì vẫn thấy thiếu và lại mong muốn được quay lại Hàn để mua tiếp”. Du lịch thẩm mĩ Bên cạnh việc là một thiên đường mĩ phẩm của châu Á, Hàn Quốc gần đây còn nổi lên như là một nơi đầy hứa hẹn cho những bạn trẻ muốn lột xác để trở thành một người có ngoại hình bắt mắt bằng phương pháp phẫu thuật thẩm mĩ. Hàng loạt công ty du lịch ở Trung Quốc, Việt Nam hay Cam Bốt đã liên kết với các bệnh viện phẫu thuật thẩm mĩ nổi tiếng của Hàn Quốc. Với mối quan hệ "win-win" (đôi bên cùng có lợi), khách hàng có nhu cầu được các công ty kết nối với bệnh viện tại Hàn, sau đó được du lịch sang Hàn Quốc để thăm khám và nhận tư vấn trực tiếp từ các bác sĩ có kinh nghiệm trong lĩnh vực phẫu thuật thẩm mĩ hay phẫu thuật tạo hình. Sau khi thăm khám xong, khách du lịch sẽ được đưa đi một vòng thăm quan các danh thắng nổi tiếng tại Hàn để họ có thời gian suy nghĩ và quyết định có trở lại Hàn Quốc lần nữa để bước vào cuộc phẫu thuật kéo dài nhiều giờ và mất nhiều tháng để khôi phục lại sức khỏe hay không. Điệp, một bạn gái từng sang Hàn Quốc để phẫu thuật thẩm mĩ, cho biết: “Em chọn phẫu thuật thẩm mĩ ở Hàn Quốc là do tin tưởng kinh nghiệm và chuyên môn của các bác sĩ Hàn. Ở Hàn Quốc, em được tư vấn rất kỹ, ví dụ khi em phẫu thuật mũi, các bác sĩ tư vấn cho em là đi dáng mũi như thế nào cho hài hòa với gương mặt, chứ không có chạy theo thị hiếu như là dáng mũi phải cao như tây, làm quá như vậy thì bác sĩ cũng nói là nó sẽ làm mất dáng mũi của con người mình”. Du lịch theo trào lưu Hanryu Một yếu tố quyết định đến sự phát triển của du lịch Hàn Quốc đó là làn sóng văn hóa Hàn Quốc (Hàn lưu - Hanryu - 한류). Các bộ phim như Bản tình ca mùa đông, Vườn sao băng, Thế hệ Itaewon hay bộ phim Vì sao đưa anh tới đã được quay tại các địa điểm du lịch nổi tiếng như đảo Nami, Jeju, phố Hongdae hay làng văn hóa Pháp. Những hình ảnh đầy màu sắc, không tì vết kèm theo những dấu ấn không thể phai mờ của bộ phim đã in sâu vào lòng khán giả một Hàn Quốc xinh đẹp, quyến rũ trong mùa xuân, mạnh mẽ trong mùa hè, đượm buồn trong mùa thu và trắng xóa trong mùa đông lạnh. Gần đây nhất, bộ phim ăn khách của Netflix Squid game đã khéo léo lồng ghép và giới thiệu những trò chơi truyền thống của Hàn Quốc tới bạn bè quốc tế. Trào lưu “trò chơi con mực” diễn ra ở khắp mọi nơi trên thế giới, đặc biệt là trên mạng xã hội, theo New York Times ngày 29/09/2021, hơn 14 tỉ video với hashtag “Squid game” đã được phát hành trên nền tảng video trực tuyến Tiktok, hay một bức tượng búp bê quản trò cao 3 mét trong trò chơi “đèn đỏ-đèn xanh” đã được trưng bày tại đại lộ Ortigas - Philippines. Với sức hút lớn như vậy, chắc chắn các fan của bộ phim này sẽ lên một kế hoạch chi tiết nhất để du lịch Hàn Quốc ngay sau khi đại dịch Covid-19 kết thúc. Tầm nhìn của chính phủ Hàn Quốc về du lịch trong và sau đại dịch Đại dịch Covid-19 ập tới gây ra những tác động vô cùng tiêu cực đến thị trường du lịch toàn cầu. Hàn Quốc là một trong số những quốc gia đầu tiên buộc phải đóng cửa với phần còn lại của thế giới vì lý do dịch bệnh lây lan với tốc độ nhanh và mất kiểm soát trên toàn quốc. Tuy nhiên, Hàn Quốc lại trở thành một điểm sáng và là tấm gương cho các quốc gia phát triển noi theo trong việc kiểm soát dịch bệnh. Cho tới hiện tại, với tỉ lệ tiêm chủng cao, lên tới 75,5% tổng số dân, Hàn Quốc đã quyết định ký các thỏa thuận “bong bóng du lịch” với một số quốc gia có tỉ lệ tiêm chủng cao như Singapore, và đảo Saipan. Với những thỏa thuận này, các du khách sẽ được miễn cách ly và du lịch tự do nếu họ có hộ chiếu vac-xin và kết quả xét nghiệm Covid-19 âm tính trong vòng 48 giờ trước khi khởi hành từ quốc gia xuất phát, và xét nghiệm PCR âm tính với Covid-19 sau khi nhập cảnh vào nước đến. Ngoài ra, Hàn Quốc cũng đã có lộ trình miễn cách ly với tất cả khách du lịch có hộ chiếu vac-xin và kết quả xét nghiệm PCR âm tính từ cuối tháng 11 đến hết năm 2021. Để có được sự phát triển thần tốc và mạnh mẽ như ngày hôm nay, người dân Hàn Quốc đã phải đánh đổi rất nhiều thứ. Từ những năm 1970, trên truyền hình chỉ có hai chương trình là “dạy làm người” và “dạy làm ăn”. Những hành động nhỏ như nụ cười thế nào, chào đón khách ra làm sao đều có thể được tìm thấy trên tivi. Những sinh viên ưu tú nhất đã được gửi đi khắp nơi để học phương pháp làm phim, thời trang và du lịch để quay về xây dựng tổ quốc. Có lẽ tất cả những điều đó đã làm lên một Hàn Quốc đầy hứa hẹn, xinh đẹp và lộng lẫy trong mắt khách du lịch quốc tế.

When did Korean become Korean? Old Korean: Generally understood to be language of Unified Silla, which was 668-935, though some debate extends it later or suggests it's earlier ("Old Korean" in Handbook of Korean Linguistics) Before EMK, spoken use of Sino-Korean was only for places, people, government ranks for the most part. Otherwise mostly written But from Koryeo dynasty on, Sino-Korean words “pervaded the spoken language” Late Middle Korean: an “all-out infiltration of Chinese words and characters into every facet of Korean culture and society, chiefly because of the Choson dynasty's adoption of Confucianism as the state ideology and, [sic] the popular admiration of everything Chinese.” Also when it became full of Sino-Korean/Native Korean doublets - e.g., the number system ("Middle Korean and Pre-Modern Korean," Ho-Min Sohn, The Handbook of Korean Linguistics, edited by Lucien Brown, and Jaehoon Yeon, John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated, 2015.) 65/35/5 split among sources 35% of Korean lexicon is native Korean “Native words express natural objects, basic actions and states, concrete concepts, and grammatical relations (Sohn 2011)” Numbers, kin, classifiers (see 6.2.3) Ideophonic (onomatopoeia) sound-symbolic (An Introduction to Korean Linguistics Eunhee Lee et al.) Why does Native Korean have fewer words than Sino-Korean? “Throughout the known history of Korean, Sinitic vocabulary has tended to displace native words” (History of the Korean Language Ki-moon Lee, S. Robert Ramsey) Prestige and native Korean vs Sino-Korean  “Moreover, whenever Sino-Korean synonyms exist alongside native words, the Sino-Korean words are generally considered more elegant, and therefore sometimes serve as respectful, even honorific terms” esp like medical vocabulary, other professional (History of the Korean Language Ki-moon Lee, S. Robert Ramsey) NK/SK pairs: Bap vs shiksa: Native Korean vs Sino-Korean words for similar concepts, with differing levels of prestige. (Sino-Korean words weightier, more formal, fancier - Koh Jongsok p 167 "We're all greeks" in Infected Korean Language) Some that were lost? E.g., native Korean kin terms for many types of kin. Words like the word for mountain. Tie-ins with linguistic nationalism; moves to increase native Korean - in North Korea, in South Korea Section on native neologisms - prescriptivist - often not well thought out Too clumsy to be taken seriously Often constructed along the lines of SK expressions but it doesn't sound right in native Korean But naturally arising ones work well - e.g. Oppa (beg of 20th centurly only used inside Seoul's walls; now used throughout Korea) Native words for businesses like coffee shops, restaurants, night clubs; SK for formal businesses North Korea really tried to purify the language from early on. Needed to replace foreign words with native Korean words.  Banning Hanja, which is how SK words were often written back then - restricted in 1949, banned 3-4 years later - a thing of the elite in the past, and an obstruction to literacy in the present (but later resurrected it - 1966) - it's banned from school textbooks and other Korean pubilcatoins, but NK students learn more Chiense characters than SK ones these days, it appears. According to Choi (2003, 205-206), since 1964 NK has replaced up to 50k SK words and foreign loanwords with native Korean words, though only half still in use Icecream was replaced with a native Korean created word but reverted to English loanword (History of the Korean Language; "Language Policies in North and South Korea" by Jae Jung Song, Handbook of Korean Linguistics) Are we still speaking Native...

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A divided Supreme Court has declined a petition to block a new heartbeat law in Texas, allowing the law to stand for now. The law prohibits abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The law is enforced by allowing private lawsuits in cases of illegal abortions. The court denied the petition by a 5 to 4 decision. The leaders of several traditional Catholic institutions in France, have appealed to the country's bishops, to discuss the pope's recent restrictions on the traditional liturgy. The institutions have asked to create a mediator to address the challenges of the new restrictions. France is one of the world's leading centers of Catholic traditionalism. French bishops have said they respect communities that celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass. A historically Black Catholic parish in Denver was robbed this week. Thieves stole vessels used for Mass, a laptop used for live streaming Masses, and a soundboard used to connect the church's microphones. They also stole the tabernacle and several consecrated hosts. The parish has no leads on the robbery. This is the first break-in the church has had. The thieves also damaged the church's furnace, and flooded the church basement. Scientists may have identified the relics of three of Korea's oldest Catholic martyrs, using DNA testing. Blessed Paul Yun Ji-chung and two of his companions were among the first of thousands of Catholics to be tortured and executed under the 500-year rule of the Choson dynasty. Their remains were discovered during renovations of a historic Catholic site in South Korea. Today, the Catholic Church remembers the September Martyrs, a group of 191 Christians martyred during the French Revolution.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Ksenia Chizhova. They speak about the practice of calligraphy in late Choson Korea, the highly aestheticized craft and the social importance attached to it, the differences between traditionally male and female calligraphy, the meticulous training processes involved, the different moral and character insights that the practice was said to offer unto their authors, the male domination of the practice in terms of public presence and prestige, and the niche that women calligraphers claimed for themselves often within the private domain. Ksenia Chizhova is Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies Director of Undergraduate Studies at Princeton University.  Her areas of interest are history of emotions, family, and scriptural practices in Korea, from the late eighteenth to the twentieth century. Her first manuscript, Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday, published by Columbia University Press, looks into the rise and fall of the lineage novel (kamun sosŏl), which narrated the interstices of Korea's kinship system and foregrounded the genealogical subject—a structure of identity defined by kinship obligation and understood as socialization of the emotional self. Lineage novels, which constituted the core of elite vernacular Korean literature and circulated between the late 17th and early 20thcenturies, configure Korean kinship as a series of clashes between genders and generations, which produce unruly, violent emotions. *** Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea : Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea : Ksenia Chizhova : 9780231187817 (bookdepository.com) *** Bodies of Texts: Women Calligraphers and the Elite Vernacular Culture in Late Choso˘n Korea (1392–1910) Bodies of Texts: Women Calligraphers and the Elite Vernacular Culture in Late Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910) | The Journal of Asian Studies | Cambridge Core Support via Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/jedleahenry Support via PayPal – https://www.paypal.me/jrleahenry Shop – https://shop.spreadshirt.com.au/JLH-shop/ Support via Bitcoin - 31wQMYixAJ7Tisp773cSvpUuzr2rmRhjaW Website – http://www.jedleahenry.org Libsyn – http://korea-now-podcast.libsyn.com Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_qg6g1KyHaRXi193XqF6GA Twitter – https://twitter.com/jedleahenry Academia.edu – http://university.academia.edu/JedLeaHenry Research Gate – https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jed_Lea-Henry

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Sixiang Wang. They speak about the exchanges between Choson Korea (1392-1910) and Ming China (1368-1644), the Korean envoys and interpreters who mediated between the two dynasties, the need of these interpreters to master spoken Chinese, the extensive body of language materials that were created for this purpose, and the invention of the Hangul script to systematically represent the phonology of Sino-Korean. Sixiang Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA. He teaches courses in Korea's premodern history as well as the history of cultural and intellectual interactions in early modern East Asia. As a historian of Choson Korea and early modern East Asia, his research interests also include comparative perspectives on early modern empire, the history of science and knowledge, and issues of language and writing in Korea's cultural and political history. His current book project, “The Cultural Politics of Universal Empire: Knowledge and Diplomacy in Early Choson Korea 1392–1592” reconstructs the cultural strategies the Korean court deployed in its interactions with the Ming. Its examination of poetry-writing, gift-giving, diplomatic ceremony, and historiography underscores the centrality of ritual and literary practices in producing diplomatic norms, political concepts, and ideals of sovereignty in the construction of a shared, regional interstate order. Sixiang Wang received his PhD from the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures of Columbia University. He was also a Mellon Scholar of the Humanities at Stanford University and the Moon Family Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. *** The Sounds of Our Country: Interpreters, Linguistic Knowledge and the Politics of Language in Early Chosŏn Korea (1392–1592) (24) (PDF) The Sounds of Our Country: Interpreters, Linguistic Knowledge, and the Politics of Language in Early Chosŏn Korea | Sixiang Wang (王思翔) - Academia.edu *** Sixiang Wang's academic publications can be found at: Sixiang Wang – Historian, East Asia and Korea (chosonhistory.org) Support via Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/jedleahenry Support via PayPal – https://www.paypal.me/jrleahenry Shop – https://shop.spreadshirt.com.au/JLH-shop/ Support via Bitcoin - 31wQMYixAJ7Tisp773cSvpUuzr2rmRhjaW Website – http://www.jedleahenry.org Libsyn – http://korea-now-podcast.libsyn.com Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_qg6g1KyHaRXi193XqF6GA Twitter – https://twitter.com/jedleahenry Academia.edu – http://university.academia.edu/JedLeaHenry Research Gate – https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jed_Lea-Henry

Being arguably each side's most enduring international bond, the China-Korea relationship has long been of great practical and symbolic importance to both. Moreover, as Odd Arne Westad observes in his new book, this has in many ways also been a paradigmatic kind of tie between a large ‘empire' and smaller (though by no means small) ‘nation', and thus has much to teach us about past and present international relationships in East Asia and beyond. Westad's Empire and Righteous Nation: 600 Years of China-Korea Relations (Harvard UP, 2021) is both a highly readable survey of a special dynamic between polities and cultures, and an argument for the important continuities and trends running throughout six centuries of tumultuous Ming, Choson, Qing, Japanese, Soviet, American, Republican, Nationalist and Communist history. As this book convincingly shows, in all its mutual admiration, suspicion, hierarchy and compromise, this has been a deeply revealing relationship and one which – as scholars in both countries would themselves agree – it would benefit today's world to understand in greater historical context. Ed Pulford is a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on friendships and histories between the Chinese, Korean and Russian worlds, and northeast Asian indigenous groups. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Franklin Rausch. They speak about the Choson dynasty classic tale ‘The Story of Changhwa and Hongnyon', the origins of this story in the 17th century, its popularity and the subject matter, how the story has changed over time, the earliest English translations, how during the Japanese colonial period the tale revives and becomes central to Korean national identity and a symbol of the daily suffering being felt, the escapist elements of the narrative, the universal aspects of the story that made it so appealing within the deeply hierarchical society of Choson Korea, the moral lessons within the text, and how the story has survived and even found a new home within the movies, literature, and popular culture of modern Korea. Franklin Rausch is an Associate Professor of History in the department of History & Philosophy at Lander University. Frank received his Ph.D. in Asian Studies from the University of British Columbia with his dissertation on ‘The Ambiguity of Violence: Ideology, State, and Religion in the Late Chosŏn Dynasty'.

L’enregistrement datant un peu, vous vous rendrez compte de l’évolution de certaines choses. Ainsi, le prototype Dream Hunter est sorti récemment sous le nom de Greenville 1989 avec un beau succès à Cannes 2019 (et un carnet d’auteur sur Tric Trac), et Immortal 8, annoncé en prévision à 36 euros, en coûte 10 de moins, alors que l’extension Moon pour Ganymede est prévue pour cette année. Je tiens à m’excuser auprès d’Emmanuel et de SWAF pour le retard de cette publication, en espérant que le fond reste aussi intéressant à écouter qu’à l’époque. Un grand merci à lui pour sa participation ! Comme la dernière fois, le podcast n’est pas mort, mais n’espérez pas une émission régulière. N’hésitez d’ailleurs pas à me communiquer des acteurs ludiques que vous voudriez entendre et que vous n’avez pas vu ailleurs ! Vous pouvez retrouver Playtime sur kulturkonfitur.fr, iTunes, mais aussi sur Twitter (@Playtime_J2S) et Facebook (Playtime - Podcast). N'hésitez pas à nous suivre pour être au courant des dernières publications. Crédits générique : Iron Maiden – Can I Play With Madness / Pink Floyd – See Emily Play / Rammstein – Spiel mit mir

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with David Mason. They speak about David's work on the distinctive nature of Korean Buddhism, its origins in Korea with the Three Kingdoms, the impact it had over the peninsula, its downfall under the early Choson dynasty, and the place it has found for itself in post-independent and contemporary Korean society. David Mason has been a Professor of Cultural Tourism Studies at Gyeonghui University in Seoul, a Professor in the Public Service Department at Chung-Ang University, and is currently serving as a Professor in Cultural Tourism at Sejong University. He has also worked as an English language translator for the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, has served on the managing boards of the Royal Asiatic Society and Korean Society for Shamanic Spirit Studies, and he regularly guides tours into important Buddhist sites.

Calvin Chua from Choson Exchange tells us more about the business opportunities in North Korea.

This is not the North Korea discussion you’re expecting. There’s no escalating saber-rattling and not a single mention of nuclear warheads. We know your newsfeed is filled with rumors of a US-North Korean nuke-fest and we thought we’d do something a little different. This episode I sit down with the Founder and Program Director of Choson Exchange, a Singapore-based NGO with a mission to bring small business training and development to average North Koreans. That’s right: Choson teaches entrepreneurship to North Koreans. If you’ve not heard of Choson it’s not surprising. They keep a low profile and tend to slip under the radar. But what they’ve accomplished is nothing short of remarkable. For seven years now, the group has sponsored more than fifty exchange programs, sending hundreds of business savvy volunteers to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, to train and guide burgeoning ranks of North Korean entrepreneurs. North Korea ranks as one of the poorest, least open countries in the world. Yet, there’s a booming appetite from its citizens who want to know what it takes to start a business, create a product, introduce a new service, and ultimately, make money. Here’s a question to ponder—are economic sanctions imposed by the US and UN an effective means of bringing Kim Jung-un’s government to its knees or do they end up punishing ordinary people who are simply trying to survive? The effectiveness of sanctions is an age-old debate. Maybe we need to find ways of changing the conversation. By bringing to North Korea the tools it needs to enter the global economy, there’s the hope of removing – or at least diminishing - the need to take up hostilities or throw up blockades. Thanks, as always, for listening. If you’d like to volunteer for one of Choson’s programs, please visit the groups website at www.chosonexchange.org.

Shortly after the introduction of Catholicism into Korea in the late 18th century, Korea's Confucian government began to persecute Catholics. Why would a Confucian government torture and kill the people it was supposed to protect and nurture? Why would Koreans turn to a religion that differed fundamentally from the established norms of their country, particularly when following that religion could lead to their deaths? Dr. Don Baker, in his book Catholics and Anti-Catholicism in Chosŏn Korea (University of Hawaiʼi Press, 2017, with Franklin Rausch) answers these questions, both through his own words and through translations of works by a leading Catholic who died a martyr and a Confucian scholar who criticized Catholicism. In this meticulously researched, annotated, and refreshingly clear work, Baker reveals the perspectives of both sides in an easy to understand fashion, making this book suitable both for scholars and for a text in undergraduate or graduate classes.

Since 2009, the Singapore-based non-profit has facilitated training workshops for everyday North Koreans in Economics, Entrepreneurship and Urban Planning in metropolitan Pyongyang and elsewhere around the country. In this conversation, Chosun Exchange Associate Director of Research Dr. Andray Abrahamian discusses how the introduction of some aspects of a free market economy under the Kim Jong-eun regime is changing the way North Koreans look at capitalism. We'll also talk about the prospects for further change in North Korean society and discuss how initiatives like Chosun Exchange could impact how the United States, South Korea and other countries approach North Korea policy.  Also: how can political leadership in the United States and the Koreas move past saber-rattling and militaristic rhetoric? How will South Korean policy towards the North change in the post-Park Geun-hye era? And what's it like to fly Air Koryo? Music on this episode is 'Great Comrade Kim Jong-eun, We Know Nobody But You' from KCTV State Television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLbWjwIwKrI This episode was produced in collaboration with the University of Michigan's Nam Center for Korean Studies.  To see Andray Abrahamian's full Nam Center Undergraduate Fellows lecture, look for “Social Changes You See When Working in North Korea” on Youtube.

La terre, le feu, et l’esprit, chefs-d’œuvre de la céramique coréenne Conférence par Stéphanie Brouillet, conservatrice du patrimoine chargée des collections de céramiques asiatiques à Sèvres - Cité de la céramique La céramique coréenne a une histoire riche et ancienne et ses productions sont réputées dans le monde entier. La conférence propose un parcours chronologique depuis les grès de l'époque des Trois Royaumes jusqu'aux porcelaines blanches au décor épurée de l'époque Choson en passant par les céladons considérés comme "premiers sous le Ciel".

Była sobie kiedyś całkiem fajna gra pod tytułem Koryo. Wydawca pomyślał, że skoro raz się udało, to nie ma przeciwwskazań, żeby na tej samej mechanice spróbować zrobić coś troszeczkę innego, ale wyraźnie podobnego. W ten sposób narodziło się Choson, czyli sequel wspomnianej wcześniej gry rodem z Korei. Jak się wszystko udało? Zapraszamy do posłuchania. Przy […]

Byonghyon Choi‘s new book makes a key document of Korean and world history available in English in a volume that will be tremendously useful for both scholarship and teaching. The Annals of King T’aejo: Founder of Korea’s Choson Dynasty (Harvard University Press, 2014) translates an important excerpt from The Veritable Records of the Choson Dynasty, a historical record that documents important events and historical developments from the first 472 years of the Choson period in Korean history, into English. Compiled in 1409 and completed in 1413, the annals of King T’aejo – founder of the Choson Dynasty – include a wealth of information about both domestic and foreign affairs in the fifteenth century. Readers will find much of interest to inform broader histories of weather, animals, clothing, envoy relations, architecture, urban studies, family studies, and much, much more. A substantial volume of more than 1,000 pages, the translation can also be usefully excerpted for the purpose of teaching courses at all levels on the histories of Korea, East Asia, early modernity, and global history, among others.
