Abstract:This study asks why and how a segment of young people have led the emergence of veganism in contemporary South Korea since the mid-2010s, and what this appearance means—especially against the backdrop of the wide interpretation of Korean youth as disillusioned and depoliticized individuals who distrust the possibility of any positive social change. The article argues that the youth-driven Korean veganism has played a role in filling the void of the postdevelopmental, postindustrial, and postliberation era of climate crisis and planetary challenges by working as a broad vision for a good life and meaningful social change. Based on qualitative interviews, textual analysis, and participant observation, the article shows why veganism has worked as a way of alternative survival for vegan youth, how veganism as the source of voice and personal growth has been validated and cultivated by the transnational youth culture, and what has enabled veganism's solidarity from and coalition with other social movements. The article contributes to diversifying the representation of Korean youth and their agencies beyond the ruins and pessimism of the neoliberalized Korean society.

Abstract:This article deals with the Korean-Chinese politics of recognition in contemporary South Korea. Unlike North Korean settlers who are "technically" embraced from the outset as coethnics, the Korean-Chinese are located in the interstices of the Act on the Employment of Foreign Workers, the Overseas Koreans Act, and the Multicultural Families Support Act. By analyzing how the Korean-Chinese politics of belonging is mediated by competing models of nationalism, multiculturalism, and political participation that Korean-Chinese bring with them from the People's Republic of China and encounter anew in South Korea, the article puts into relief the various choices available to these migrants and their emotionally-charged disagreements over how to define themselves culturally and politically. Juxtaposing Korean-style multicultural policy with a curiously muted cultural distinctiveness in the Korean-Chinese politics of recognition, the article argues for the importance of cherishing cultural diversity in the public sphere, even for the coethnic politics of belonging.

Abstract:This article argues that North Korea's system for family background registration, sŏngbun, has historically been more complex than commonly believed. Using oral testimonies, it shows that the registration process, as seen from a grassroots perspective, involved and likely still involves a great deal of social turmoil. The essay focuses on the period before the famine of the 1990s, often not sufficiently investigated in scholarship on North Korean society. The sŏngbun registration process, by contrast, constitutes a chaotic, messy chapter in North Korean social history, calling the narrative of stability into question. The article also situates North Korea in the broader history of state-building, showing that attempts by states to classify the population and make it legible often involve a great deal of chaos, flaws, and dynamic change. Cataloging the population along the lines of political order was not merely a project of sheer repression but also one of scientific, rational, and forward-looking state-building. Although some citizens manipulated the process to their benefit, several interviewees attested to worse outcomes due to bureaucratic mistakes and reinvestigations of their sŏngbun by the state.

what Choi has termed Protestant modernity be inextricable from the history of American empire? One could note that the approaches of these Protestant missionaries are deeply colonial in their fixation with managing the gendered other—in this case, native Korean women. More attention to how the nexus of the colonizer and the colonized haunts the dynamics of organized religion—even if used as a means for native women’s self-actualization—could add to the impressive contributions this book makes. Gender Politics shares critical sensibilities with a robust body of postcolonial and feminist work that examines how native subjects negotiate their own ambiguous agencies under empire and theorizes womanhood from a non-West-centric feminist perspective. Works with similar interventions include Inderpal Grewal and Caren Kaplan’s Scattered Hegemonies (1994), Saba Mahmood’s Politics of Piety (2011), and Sungyun Lim’s Rules of the House (2018). The book is also in conversation with Korean cultural studies on New Women such as Ji-Eun Lee’s Women Pre-Scripted (2015) and Sunyoung Park’s The Proletarian Wave (2015). In addition, Gender Politics joins a dialogue generated by scholars who have been pushing the boundaries of what constitutes Koreanness beyond an ethnonational understanding. These scholars include David S. Roh, who examines connections between Zainichi and Korean American literatures in Minor Transpacific (2021), and Yoon Sun Yang, who in From Domestic Women to Sensitive Young Men (2017) explores how individuality was translated into Korean in the form of the early colonial domestic novel inflected by Japanese and Chinese literary traditions. Choi’s Gender Politics will be useful not only for specialists of colonial-era Korea but also for postcolonial and feminist scholars working in a variety of transnational cultural contexts.
崔所说的新教现代性与美国帝国的历史密不可分？有人可能会注意到，这些新教传教士的做法是根深蒂固的殖民主义，他们执着于管理性别化的另一半——在这种情况下，是韩国本土女性。更多地关注殖民者和被殖民者的关系如何影响有组织的宗教的动态——即使被用作本土女性自我实现的手段——也可能为本书做出令人印象深刻的贡献。《性别政治》与一系列强有力的后殖民和女权主义作品有着共同的批判情感，这些作品考察了本土主体如何在帝国统治下谈判自己的模糊机构，并从非西方中心的女权主义视角对女性身份进行了理论化。类似干预的作品包括Inderpal Grewal和Caren Kaplan的《分散的霸权》（1994）、Saba Mahmood的《虔诚的政治》（2011）和Sungyun Lim的《众议院规则》（2018）。这本书还与韩国对新女性的文化研究进行了对话，如李姬恩的《女性预录》（2015年）和朴善英的《无产阶级浪潮》（2015）。此外，《性别政治》加入了学者们发起的对话，他们一直在超越民族理解，突破构成韩国性的界限。这些学者包括David S.Roh，他在《小跨太平洋》（2021）中研究了再妮池与韩裔美国文学之间的联系，Yoon Sun Yang在《从家庭女性到敏感的年轻男性》（2017）中探讨了个性是如何以受日本和中国文学传统影响的早期殖民地家庭小说的形式被翻译成韩语的。崔的《性别政治》不仅对殖民时代的韩国专家有用，对在各种跨国文化背景下工作的后殖民和女权主义学者也有用。

Abstract:This article looks at Cho Sehŭi's novel A Little Ball Launched by the Dwarf (1978) as the epitome of antiutilitarian literature in the 1970s. During the period, the developmental state invoked the rhetoric of sacrifice to justify its demand on the people and society for devotion and commitment to the state-led economic development. This idea of sacrifice lies at the heart of what this article terms "utilitarian ideology." The utilitarian ideology indicates the set of premises on which the developmental state privileged production over consumption, work over leisure, accumulation over expenditure, and the future over the present. This article highlights a moment of antiutilitarian sacrifice in The Dwarf that defies the instrumental reasoning that lies at the heart of the utilitarian ideology. In doing so, the article does not merely take issue with the state ideology of 1970s South Korea. By drawing from Georges Bataille's thoughts on sacrifice and literature, the article criticizes utilitarian sacrifice, which not only lay at the core of this ideology but continues to pervade today's society. In the end, the article locates a new possibility of literature's relevance to society in the moment of antiutilitarian sacrifice radiating from The Dwarf

Abstract:The Agency for Defense Development (ADD) has functioned as South Korea's central institute for weapons research and development (R&D) since 1970, when it was established by the Park Chung Hee regime (1961–79). As argued in this article, this quasi-private, quasi-public military institute also fostered major advancements of science and technology during the transformative decade of South Korea's "militarized industrialization," the 1970s, with a lasting impact on the private sector and business relations with the state. Drawing from in-person interviews with living scientists who worked on military projects of the Park state, as well as official records of the ADD and recently declassified government documents, the article tells the story of the ADD's founding and details how, as a key player in Park's pursuit of security independence, the agency spurred technological innovation and industrialization. Through weapons development, the ADD localized R&D, facilitated technological collaboration, established quality control and standardization methods within corporations, and enhanced the scientific workforce with advanced training, altogether promoting the scientization of the Korean private sector. By merging state and business efforts, and by combining military with civilian strengths, the ADD led a process of national scientization and technological governance that still operates at the heart of Korean economic growth today.

Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea is the first English-language study of Korean lineage novels, lengthy fictional narratives written in vernacular Korean, that flourished from the late seventeenth century through the early twentieth century. The lineage novel is not easily accessible for general readers in Korea today, primarily because of the sheer number of volumes, sometimes exceeding one hundred per work. Ksenia Chizhova, however, succeeds in demonstrating the historical and cultural significance of the lineage novel in the broad context of the kinship culture of early modern Korea. She suggests Korean patrilineal kinship was not only a social structure but also a process that was constantly in the making through aesthetic and textual reiterations. The lineage novel for its part represents textual practices that give expressions to the affective dimension of kinship. Chizhova strategically explores six representative examples of the lineage novel: The Pledge at the Banquet of Moon-Gazing Pavilion (Wanwŏl hoemaeng yŏn 玩月會 盟宴), The Remarkable Reunion of Jade Mandarin Ducks (Ogwŏn chaehap kiyŏn 玉鴛再合奇緣) and its sequel, and The Record of Two Heroes: The Brothers Hyŏn (Hyŏn ssi yangung ssangnin ki 玄氏兩雄雙麟記) and its two sequels. She argues that lineage novels typically show a long and convoluted trajectory in which unruly feelings dissonant with the prescriptive kinship are brought into alignment with kinship norms, ultimately confirming the legitimacy and perpetuity of lineage. The book consists of three parts. In part 1, Chizhova historicizes the lineage novel by placing it within the web of kinship texts of various kinds and within the reading and writing culture of elite women. In the first chapter, Chizhova
