The EFEO Paris seminar is taking place on Monday, November 24 (11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). Presentation by Dr. Son Key-young (instructor-researcher at the Asiatic Research Institute of Korea University) on the topic "Historicizing the Korea Divide: Structure, Identities and Norms"
Maison de l'Asie, first-floor salon, 22 avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris.
"We often approach the Korean divide as a historical event which started with Korea's liberation from Japan in 1945 and lasted during the past 70 years. Simplistic and static, this vision aims to explain the entirety of the question of the Korean divide mainly from the perspectives of superpower politics. In contrast, this lecture introduces more nuanced and sophisticated perspectives to illustrate the various forces which had affected the Korean divide and rapprochement. In this way, this lecture seeks to provide a yardstick in looking at a multitude of problems arising from the Korean divide, including North Korea's nuclear weapons ambitions" READ MORE
