<h2>Résumé</h2>
<h3>This presentation on female labor in wartime Korea has several aims. First, I aspire to reveal the extent of Korean women’s contributions to mechanized production in the Japanese wartime empire. Second, by outlining some of the central policies and programs that brought together companies and workers under the rubric of “imperial mobilization,” I furnish examples of the scope of the war’s social effects. An evaluation of the roles of schools, villages, and local organizations in late colonial Korea details how official policies and programs were institutionally executed. Third, I elaborate on some of the ways in which female labor recruitment was performed under the auspices of student campaigns in the immediate years before and especially after Japan’s offensive against the Allies in the winter of 1941. Still facing a labor shortage in 1943, officials decided to recruit women for heavy industrial labor and aimed for the greater enlistment of women in the colonies. Describing how the Women’s Labor Volunteer Corps mobilized Korean women for all types of war-related enterprises is the fourth objective of this discussion. Finally, I focus on the oral histories of female volunteers employed in the machine and machine tools sectors, specifically the operatives of the Fujikoshi steel factory in Toyama, Japan, to offer alternative renderings of working women in wartime Korea. In so doing, I hope to relay some of the heterogeneous outcomes of World War II in East Asia. Although this examination aims to expose some of the lesser-known effects of Japan’s total war in Korea, it in no way attempts to undermine the suffering resulting from Japanese wartime atrocities.</h3>

<h2>Résumé</h2>
<p>This presentation offers an alternate and intimate interpretation of factory women in colonial Korea and their avenues of action and empowerment. First, it examines some of the largest general strikes of the early colonial era (1910–37) organized by women in medium- to large-scale enterprises such as rubber shoemaking, cotton spinning, and weaving. Second, it analyzes protests in the silk-reeling and knitting sectors, unearthing the varieties of workers’ defiance and the intricacies of their alliances and identities. Although the Depression stimulated a sharp surge of labor demonstrations, how workers coalesced and presented their proposals diverged according to, among other factors, industrial-, local-, and labor-specific conditions. Rubber shoemakers, for example, gathered in large-scale, citywide, general strikes, whereas the spinners and weavers of cotton textile plants carried out factory-wide boycotts. The demonstrations of workers in both sectors were among the largest, best organized, and most widely documented uprisings of the colonial era. Mill operatives in knitting and silk-reeling projects, lacking the massive labor pools of rubber and cotton factories, protested more creatively. While knitting plants were small, they were decidedly urban. Thus, hosiery workers rallied in interfactory, citywide strikes. Silk reelers, fewer in their numbers and situated further apart from each other, instead, organized interfactory, company-wide boycotts. Striking in rounds throughout the various mills of the same company strengthened the bargaining power of silk-reelers.</p>

<p>Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference Series 2</p>
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference Series 2</h2>
<p>University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Oct. 26, 2012</p>
<p>Sponsored by the Nam Center for Korean Studies, University of Michigan</p>
<p>Crossing over limits, infringing the law, and ignoring convention are often cited as examples of transgression. In traditional Korea where religion played a vital role in demarcating social and personal boundaries transgressive acts (e.g. engaging in illicit sexual behavior, challenging gender norms, defying social hierarchies, defacing icons and symbols, using excessive violence etc.) often served as a critical means for testing these boundaries of social acceptability, identity, power, and truth. But what happens to these transgressive acts after the “demystification” and “secularization” of society? Do they become obsolete? If they still test boundaries, then whose boundaries do these transgressive acts test?</p>
<p>Taking cue from the proliferation of successful Korean films that take transgression as their central theme, the international conference, “Transgression as a secular value: Korea in transition?,” hopes to bring together scholars from both the social sciences and humanities to address these and other similar questions about the significance of transgression in modern and pre-modern Korea. The chief objective of this conference is to investigate the possibility of reading the surging interest in transgression, which has arguably attained an air of sacredness in mainstream culture, as an instance of a search for a “secular” value. The conference will therefore encourage its participants to ask, when and how did transgression become so desirable and consumer friendly (and not just possible) in Korea? And, should we associate this attitude towards transgression with “the secular”?</p>
<p>The conference will explore the notion of transgression as a “secular” value from a comparative perspective—both temporal and spatial—to underscore and contribute to the growing debate on the heterogeneous nature of secularity as a way of life. The organizers of the conference therefore welcome papers that critically examine transgression in either modern or pre-modern Korea and also papers that discuss transgression in a broader Asian or global context.</p>
<p>Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words to conference organizers at <a href="mailto:transgression@umich.edu">transgression@umich.edu</a> by June 4, 2012. Please include name, institutional affiliation, and contact information.</p>
<p>Selected participants will be asked to submit completed papers by September 28, 2012.</p>
<p>The Nam Center for Korean Studies will award travel grants to accepted participants to defray costs of attendance. Lodging and onsite meals will be provided by the conference. Conference organizers plan to have selected papers published in an edited volume.</p>
<p>Organizers: Juhn Ahn (Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Michigan, <a href="mailto:jahn@umich.edu">jahn@umich.edu</a>) and Nojin Kwak (Nam Center/Department of Communication Studies, University of Michigan, <a href="mailto:kwak@umich.edu">kwak@umich.edu</a>)</p>

&#8220;Food Production in Korea: Its Socioeconomic and Symbolic Meaning&#8221;<br />
The mysteries of Northeast Asia&#8217;s prehistoric migration, exchange, and development are explored through an examination of when and how the first domesticated plants and animals were introduced to Korean peninsula. The adoption of first domesticates, such as rice and swine, was not only an economic breakthrough, but resonated across the realms of the social, political, and symbolic life of the community.</p>
<p>Panelist/Speaker: Junko Habu, University of California, Berkeley<br />
&#8220;Jomon Food Diversity and Long-term Sustainability: Lessons from Prehistoric Japan&#8221;<br />
This presentation focuses on the mechanisms of settlement growth and decline in complex hunter-gatherer societies of prehistoric Japan. Early and Middle Jomon (ca. 6000=4000 years ago) archaeological data from northern Japan indicate that the loss of food diversity and an expansion of the scale of society may have negatively affected long-term sustainability of prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies. Through an examination of this case study, it is argued that archaeology is critical in our understanding of long-term human-environmental interactions.</p>
<p>Panelist/Speaker: Lisa Janz, University of Arizona<br />
&#8220;Dune-Dwellers: Post-Glacial Hunter-Gatherers and Early Herders in Mongolia&#8221;<br />
New analysis of old archaeological collections from the Gobi Desert indicate that following the last Ice Age, between about 8000 to 3000 years ago, hunter-gatherers began to intensively occupy and exploit dune-field/wetland environments across the arid steppes and deserts of Northeast Asia. This oasis adaptation overlaps with the Early Bronze Age and the rise of nomadic pastoralism in Mongolia. Several intriguing clues suggest that dune-dwelling hunter-gatherers may also have been the first herders, raising questions about their relationship with neighboring agriculturalist and pastoralist groups.</p>
<p>Panelist/Speaker: Seungki Kwak, University of Washington<br />
&#8220;Tracing prehistoric subsistence: Application of Organic Geochemistry Analyses on Potsherds from Ancient Korean Peninsula&#8221;<br />
This study attempts to understand prehistoric human subsistence in Korean peninsula using organic geochemistry analyses on potsherds. Organic geochemistry Analyses has contributed to archaeology in various cases including ceramic studies since its initial application. While other approaches are focusing on reconstructing the ancient pot function such as use-wear analysis and ethnographic studies, organic geochemistry analyses on archaeological ceramics endeavor to be precise about types of food groups that was cooked or stored within a pot by attempting to isolate and identify the specific organic compounds trapped in the fabric of its wall. Since organic compounds are often preserved in direct association with archaeological ceramics, organic geochemistry analyses have become an important method of investigation which archaeologists use to better understand the function of ceramic artifacts and local diets. If we conduct these analyses on the pottery from different locations, we will be able to understand past subsistence behaviors even in the absence of faunal or floral remains. The direct examination of the remains of resources in the Korean peninsula is limited to shell middens, because the high acidity of sediment does not allow long-term preservation of bone or plant remains. Therefore, organic geochemistry analyses could be the most suitable method in this setting. This research will provide a unique chance to understand ancient subsistence through the direct examination of potteries: the most wide-spread material culture in the prehistoric Korea.</p>

<p>6·25 전쟁 당시 쓰인 편지들을 모아 엮은 신간 ’조선인민군 우편함 4640호’가 나왔다.</p>
<p>이 책은 미국 워싱턴 인터내셔널센터 키손(Korea Information Service on Net) 프로젝트의 이흥환 선임편집위원이 미국 국립문서보관소(NARA) 서고에서 발견한 편지 1천68통 중 113통을 소개한다.</p>
<p>편지 68건은 따로 옮긴 편지글과 설명을 함께 싣고, 나머지 45건은 화보로 구성했다.</p>
<p>책에 담긴 편지들은 신문지 한 귀퉁이를 찢거나 누런 마분지 조각을 구해 촘촘하게 쓴 편지들은 대부분 1950년에 보내진 것.</p>
<p>미군이 평양 점령 당시 노획되어 봉투에 밀봉된 채로 문서상자 안에 켜켜이 쌓인 채로 60여년 간 잠들어 있었다.</p>
<p>행여 으스러질까 봐 봉투에서 한 장 한 장 조심스레 끄집어내 펼쳐본 종이 위에는 전쟁의 고단함과 가족에 대한 절절한 그리움이 묻어 있다.</p>
<p>평안북도 정주의 한 공장에서 일하는 누나는 폭탄이 날아드는 상황에서도 집에 두고 온 남동생이 걱정이다.</p>
<p>“서산에 해가 질 때는 집 생각은 끝없이 나고 있다. 나는 폭격을 세 번 겪고 죽을 뻔하다 살아났으나 지금도 밤낮없이 비행기는 상공에 떠돌고 있다. 그래도 인민군대로 나간 오라바님 생각을 해서 마지막 피 한방울이라도 아끼지 않고 싸우겠다.(중략) 나는 이만 하고 너는 몸조심하고 공부 열심히 하여라. 이만 끝.” (267-269쪽)</p>
<p>하고 싶은 말은 넘치지만 눈물을 속으로 삼키며 ’이만 끝.’을 눌러쓴 누나의 마음이 애잔하다.</p>
<p>소식을 전할 길은 오직 종이에 몇 자 적어 보내는 것뿐이던 당시 각기 다른 사연들은 남북한을 비롯해 중국, 러시아를 오갔다.</p>
<p>편지를 통해 입대한 아들은 자식 셋을 군에 보낸 어머니를 위로해달라고 동네 형에게 부탁하기도 하고, 한 인민군 병사는 발싸개를 사서 빨리 면회오라며 아버지에게 떼쓰기도 한다.</p>
<p>저자는 이 편지들을 “헝클어졌던 한국 현대사의 한 시기를 보여주는 1차 사료”이자 “전쟁문학”이라고 평한다.</p>
<p>딱딱한 역사서가 흉내 낼 수 없는 민중의 생생한 목소리가 담긴 한 시대의 증언이라는 것.</p>
<p>그러나 이 자료는 현재 미국 정부의 소유물로 되어 있다.</p>
<p>저자는 편지의 원저작자인 글쓴이인 발신자나 편지 수신인을 찾으면 소유가 반환될 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 봉투에 나온 몇몇 주소지를 찾아보기도 했지만 허사였다고 한다.</p>
<p>저자는 “이 책을 보고 편지의 주인이 나타난다면, 그래서 미 국립문서보관소에 이 편지 묶음의 반환을 요청할 수 있다면 의미있는 일이 될 것”이라고 말한다.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>We are pleased to announce the publication of the Spring 2012 issue of the Korea Journal (vol. 52, no. 1), which covers the special topic of “A Cultural History of Korean Toponyms.” Toponym is a term derived from two Greek words, <em>topos</em> and <em>onmya</em> (the Aeolic and Doric form of <em>onoma</em>)meaning “place” and “name,” respectivelywhich is used in the study of place names. This special issue addresses Korean toponyms as both a cultural and a linguistic phenomenon. The first two articles in this issue study Korean toponyms from the perspective of linguistic history, while the third to fifth articles examine them, from geographers' perspectives, as a cultural phenomenon that reflects the settlement history and power relations of the ! settlers.</p>
<div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The first article by Kim Jeong-tae examines the characteristics of phoneme variation that have resulted in toponymic variation across space and time in Korea. Park Byeong-Cherl’s article traces the linguistic histories of toponymic back morphemes, the generic elements, through the study of toponyms related to <em>gogae</em> (pass). In contrast, Jung Chi-young’s article examines the specific elements of village names, the toponymic front morpheme, in order to explore the environmental perception among the villagers. The fourth article by Kim Sun-Bae examines the making of toponyms under the Confucian ideology in the Joseon dynasty and the subsequent contestation of Confucian toponyms with other types of toponyms. The fifth article by Je-Hun Ryu focus! es on the patterns of naming in Bupyeong-gu of Incheon, viewing the toponymic changes as reflecting the long and contentious history of Japanese colonialism, the significance of reinstating Korean toponyms after liberation, and the contemporary politics of culture, identity, and belonging.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>In addition, two interesting papers selected from submissions by a thorough peer review process are included in this issue. The paper by Koh Dong-Yeon critically examines the notion of national culture or national aesthetics by looking at the official policy toward <em>manhwa</em> in Korea, which exhibits ambivalence toward the influence of Japanese <em>manga</em>. And the paper by Tae Gyun Park examines the reorientation of South Korean science and technology from a system linked predominantly to Japan during the colonial period to one dominated by U.S. standards and prioritie! s after liberation.</p>

<dt>구한말 최고급 서양식호텔이자 외교 중심지였던 손탁호텔. 1909년 보에르가 인수한 이후 발행한 사진엽서다. /이돈수 한국해연구소장 제공</dt>
</dl>
<p><strong>손탁호텔<br />
이순우 지음｜하늘재｜288쪽｜1만5000원</strong></p>
<p>손택양저(孫擇孃邸), 손택양관저(孫澤孃官邸), 정동화부인가(貞洞花夫人家)…. 구한말 서울에서 가장 이름난 서양식 호텔이자 대표적 사교공간이었던 손탁호텔을 가리키는 말이다. <a href="http://focus.chosun.com/nation/nationView.jsp?id=193">프랑스</a> 태생 <a href="http://focus.chosun.com/nation/nationView.jsp?id=25">독일</a>인 앙투아네트 손탁(1854~1925)은 아관파천 이후 고종의 밀사였던 인물이다. 1885년 조선에 부임한 <a href="http://focus.chosun.com/nation/nationView.jsp?id=30">러시아</a>공사 웨베르를 따라 처음 서울에 들어왔다. 독어, 불어, 영어에 우리말까지 능숙하게 구사하는 언어감각과 정치적 수완으로 궁중을 드나들며 고종과 명성황후의 신임을 얻었고, 서울 외교가의 중심인물로 떠올랐다.</p>
<p>얼마 전 &#8216;정동과 각국공사관&#8217;을 낸 이순우 우리문화재자료연구소장은 구한말 손탁호텔을 비롯한 서양식 호텔에 얽힌 비화와 개화기 풍경들을 풀어낸다. 1902년 정동29번지에 들어선 손탁 호텔은 황실의 &#8216;프라이빗 호텔&#8217;로 운영됐다. 헐버트와 대한매일신보 사장 베델의 활동도 주로 손탁호텔에서 이뤄졌다. 반면 1905년 방한한 이토 히로부미가 을사늑약 체결을 배후조종하기 위해 머물던 곳도 이곳이었다.</p>
<p>일본은 고종과 명성황후의 측근이었던 손탁의 동향을 주시했던 모양이다. 일제시대 펴낸 &#8216;경성부사&#8217;(1934년)는 명성황후가 러시아 세력을 이용하는 데 손탁과 웨베르 공사 부인의 도움을 받았다고 썼다. 또 손탁이 궁중음모에 관여했다고 적었다. &#8220;그녀에 의해 운동비를 얻은 주요한 인물들은 배일지 대한매일신보, 코리아 데일리 뉴스를 발간했던 영국인 토마스 베델, 학교교사로 있으면서 정치운동에 몰두했던 미국인 헐버트, 전기회사장 미국인 콜브란 및 독일인 크뢰벨 부처 등이다.&#8221;<br />
◇<strong>욕실 딸린 객실 25개, 가이드·짐꾼 대기</strong></p>
<p>1909년 손탁은 또 다른 서양인 호텔인 팰리스(팔레) 호텔 주인 보에르에게 호텔을 넘기고 귀국했다. &#8216;손탁 없는 손탁호텔&#8217;은 누구나 묵을 수 있는 일반 호텔로 바뀌었다. &#8216;한국에서 가장 크고 편리한 호텔. 각방에 욕실이 딸린 25개의 객실. 통역자, 가이드, 짐꾼은 즉시 대기.&#8217; 투숙객을 유치하기 위한 광고를 잇달아 신문에 실은 것도 그 때문이다. 손탁호텔은 일본의 한국 강제병합 이후 서서히 경영난에 빠졌다. 1917년 건물과 부지가 이화학당에 넘어가 여학생 기숙사로 사용됐고, 지금 그 자리엔 &#8216;이화100주년기념관&#8217;이 들어서 있다.</p>
<p>◇<strong>&#8216;고종의 해외밀사&#8217; 손탁?</strong></p>
<p>손탁이 결혼을 한 적이 있는지, 1909년 귀국 이후의 삶은 어떻게 됐는지 구체적 확증은 없다. 일본인 기쿠치 겐조는&#8217;조선잡기&#8217;(1931년)란 책에서 손탁이 프랑스 칸에 별장을 짓고 노후를 여유있게 보내려 했으나, 재산 대부분을 러시아에 투자, 볼셰비키 혁명과 함께 몰수됐다고 썼다. 손탁은 1925년 러시아에서 71세로 객사했다는 것이다. 기쿠치 겐조는 손탁이 추문에 휩싸이지 않고 소중한 신념을 갖고 있었다며 비교적 호의적으로 평가했다. 기쿠치의 기술 가운데 흥미로운 것은 손탁이 헐버트처럼 고종이 해외에 파견한 밀사였을 가능성을 조심스럽게 제시하고 있다는 점이다. &#8220;조선이 일본의 보호에 전속되고, 경운궁으로부터의 밀사가 최후의 활동을 하고자 블라디보스토크로, 상하이로, 페테르부르그로, 파리로, 헤이그로 분주할 무렵, 그도 역시 표연히 고국으로 떠났다. 짐작컨대, 그의 포켓 가운데는 비밀문서의 몇 조각이라도 들어있지 않았을까?&#8221;</p>
<p>1897년 정동 거리에 이탈리아인 &#8216;삐이노&#8217;가 운영했다는 서울호텔, 1901년 개업한 경운궁 대안문 앞 팔레호텔(프렌치호텔, 센트럴호텔 등으로도 표기), 1900년대 초에 개업한 대안문 건너편의 임페리얼 호텔, 충정로 1가 농협중앙회 앞에 있던 스테이션 호텔(애스터 하우스) 등 구한말 외국인들이 운영한 호텔과 한국 최초의 서양식 호텔로 알려진 인천의 대불호텔 이야기도 흥미롭다. 커피, 사진, 당구장, 신식결혼식, 자전거, 궁궐 관광 등 개화기 풍물들도 소개한다.</p>
