That book has served as a foundational work for many scholars, like me, who began their academic study of modern Korean Buddhism in the last decade. I believe this new work can serve the same purpose for the next generation of scholars, while also being a must-read for senior scholars in the field. Wonderfully detailed but still accessible, it covers a broad range of topics, importantly building off, and occasionally overcoming, the themes of “colonialism, nationalism, and modernity” that have dominated scholarship on modern Korean Buddhism. Turning their focus to “contemporary religious practice, gender issues, ethical concerns about clerical marriage and scandals, and engagement with secular society,” the authors’ works reflect the changing dynamics of the field. Indeed, many of the authors have also published their own seminal books in the field in recent years. In Part I, Jin Y. Park and Mark A. Nathan look at two important figures in modern Korean Buddhism: Hyeam Sŏnggwan [Hyeam Seonggwan] (1920– 2001) and Paek Yongsŏng [Baek Yongseong] (1864–1940). Hyeam is a “relatively unknown figure in English-language scholarship,” but his life and teachings reflect both the institutional and philosophical changes in Korean Buddhism during the twentieth century. Park attempts to relate Hyeam’s core Zen Buddhist beliefs, such as “freedom” and “doubt,” as well as his steadfast hwadu meditation practice, to the lives of ordinary laypeople.

Clark","doi":"10.1353/seo.2023.a902137","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/seo.2023.a902137","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article examines the works of Kim Yujeong as a contemporary response to Ikaino literature, a subgenre of Zainichi Korean literature that flourished from the 1950s–1980s. Ikaino is the old name of the neighborhood of Osaka that was and remains the area of Japan with the largest population of Zainichi Koreans. Ikaino’s origins as a settlement of Korean migrant laborers in the 1920s and its official erasure from Osaka city maps in 1973 have often been mythologized within Zainichi Korean fiction and poetry. I read Kim Yujeong’s short stories “Tanpopo” (2000), “Murasame” (2002), and “Tamayura” (2015), which feature working women protagonists traversing Ikaino’s borders, as contemporary works of Ikaino literature that interrogate the Zainichi community’s cultural and historical understandings of the entangled geographies of Japan and the two Koreas. I argue that Kim portrays Ikaino landscapes as spaces constituted through their residents’ collective imaginings of Jeju Island and North Korea. Kim also subverts our expectations of multilingualism in Zainichi literature through the use of local dialect in her representation of Japanese residents of Ikaino. Throughout her work, she seeks to both shed light on the multiple structures of oppression that face Zainichi women living in the Ikaino area today, and critique the way those women have been represented in prior works of Zainichi literature.","PeriodicalId":41678,"journal":{"name":"Seoul Journal of Korean Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"139 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46552109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once second-class citizens of a colony, residing in the metropole of the Imperial Other. Bound to tumultuous turns of history, torn between the hopes of liberation and the uncertainties of a dawn of “freedom.” By some cosmic fate, like floating seed, they took root in rocky soil. Seed dispersed by wind is said to enroot even stronger and deeper into place. The first generation now becoming the fourth, fifth and more. Generations forged lives, facing the challenges of each era. Postwar loss of Japanese citizenship and becoming stateless, having to register as “aliens.” Repatriation or stay in place was everyone’s big question. Some went back to an “independent” homeland to find disease and famine and returned secretly on illegal boats. Turmoil of political uprising and ideological division, government massacre of innocent villagers causing trauma scorched into memories of newly fleeing Cheju Islanders, mostly headed to Osaka. Transported island rituals and Gyeongsang-do tradition, in the hustle and bustle of the Osaka enclave. Multiple dialects and local language, hybrid, creolized vernacular, viscerally invocated for everyday survival. Witnessing from afar, civil war painfully halving motherland into North and South. Even on borrowed soil, pitted against one another in the Cold War division. Pledging allegiance to one, mistrusting each other. Becoming South Koreans or choosing to remain stateless.","PeriodicalId":41678,"journal":{"name":"Seoul Journal of Korean Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"1 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44524428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He explained that junior researchers were consumed with the goal of developing novel theories that, according to him, almost never stood the test of time. While theory, he continued, follows the ebbs and flows of academia, what mattered most for posterity was carefully recorded data. For him, detailed ethnography, transcribed interviews, and unearthed archives collected in the field were all that remained when theory became outdated. This is precisely the strength of the book Zainichi Koreans and Mental Health, which introduces the reader to stories of struggle with mental disorders few have access to. In this study, Taeyoung Kim, a sociology professor at Toyo University, examines mental health among Zainichi Koreans, a minority historically discriminated against in Japan. As a third-generation Zainichi Korean, Kim gives voice to how this racialized group copes with mental illnesses. The life stories collected in the study jump off the page, providing the reader with a more human and empathic portrayal of people battling ailments that are a source of shame in Japanese society. The book begins with the following question: Why are rates of suicide and mental health disorder higher among Zainichi Koreans than their Japanese counterparts? Kim answers this question by tying together life stories and analysis, giving the reader a thorough assessment of the state of mental illness in the community.","PeriodicalId":41678,"journal":{"name":"Seoul Journal of Korean Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"203 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49631874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Left- and right-wing political figures fiercely opposed one another over questions of state-building and aimed to justify their leadership by referencing events of the colonial era. The March First Movement played a crucial symbolic role in this context, and its commemoration subsequently became a key issue that led to violent struggles. During the liberation period, authors who engaged in state-building discourses displayed ambivalent attitudes toward ceremonies commemorating the March First Movement. Various works of literature examining the March First Movement ceremonies during the liberation period question the patriotic figures who devoted themselves to saving the nation. The anxieties of colonial subjects in their works reveal another side of history that cannot be reduced to national sacrifice and instead represents the deaths of the unnamed who participated in the March First Movement. The commemoration of the colonial past failed to stabilize the official history of the newborn nation-state. Consequently, literature regarding the March First Movement written during the liberation period prompts us to reconsider remembrance of the colonial past beyond the state-building discourse.","PeriodicalId":41678,"journal":{"name":"Seoul Journal of Korean Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"247 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42196037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aiming to recreate the Mongol world-empire, the early Ming rulers sought to incorporate neighboring polities into a reinvigorated Sinocentric system. In Korea, elites no longer saw themselves occupying an independent imperial sphere, as they did before the Mongol subjugation. They reportedly internalized the Sinocentric worldview and Korea's predetermined second-rate position. But internalizing the Sinocentric worldview did not mean that the Koreans of Joseon imagined or governed their country only as a vassal of the Chinese empire or entirely forgot about the nativist identity that existed before the Mongol subjugation. This article aims to reveal some of the nativist discourses of identity from Goryeo that survived into Joseon. Positioning Korea as a \"rival\" of China, these nativist discourses argued that the Korean Peninsula in some ways paralleled China as a geographical entity and that the Joseon people's ancestors \"defeated\" the unified empires of Sui and Tang China on the battlefields. This article argues that the Joseon acceptance of Sinocentrism was far from total, and a sense of Korea as an independent geopolitical entity survived Korea's formal subservience to Beijing.","PeriodicalId":41678,"journal":{"name":"Seoul Journal of Korean Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"219 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47834509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
