Download or read book A Linguistic Image of Womanhood in South Korea written by Jieun Kiaer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Linguistic Image of Womanhood in South Korea examines the verbal and non-verbal techniques used by contemporary South Korean women to navigate their society. South Korea is extremely hierarchical, and this is expressed through a complex array of different politeness levels in words, gestures, and behaviours. These hierarchies were formed over 500 years ago with the introduction of Neo-Confucianism from China, but patriarchal and paternalistic values still linger in contemporary Korean society. In this book, the authors have coined the term ‘language cosmetics’ to describe how women in South Korea modify their language and behaviour to conform to social expectations. The book examines womanhood and femininity as seen in popular Korean films, K-dramas, and K-pop. The authors note that feminine language and behaviour are not limited to women (as seen by the practice of aegyo or ‘acting cute’ within Korean boy bands), and they describe the tensions between gender hierarchy and socioeconomic status (as seen in the powerful and elegant samonim ladies of K-drama). This book will be informative for those studying and researching in the fields of Asian studies, cultural studies, linguistics, and East Asian languages, particularly those analysing how society and gender have an impact upon language.

Download or read book Writing Women in Korea written by Theresa Hyun and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Women in Korea explores the connections among translation, new forms of writing, and new representations of women in Korea from the early 1900s to the late 1930s. It examines shifts in the way translators handled material pertaining to women, the work of women translators of the time, and the relationship between translation and the original works of early twentieth-century Korean women writers. The book opens with an outline of the Chosôn period (1392-1910), when a vernacular writing system was invented, making it possible to translate texts into Korean--in particular, Chinese writings reinforcing official ideals of feminine behavior aimed at women. The legends of European heroines and foreign literary works (such as those by Ibsen) translated at the beginning of the twentieth century helped spur the creation of the New Woman (Sin Yôsông) ideal for educated women of the 1920s and 1930s. The role of women translators is explored, as well as the scope of their work and the constraints they faced as translators. Finally, the author relates the writing of Kim Myông-Sun, Pak Hwa-Sông, and Mo Yun-Suk to new trends imported into Korea through translation. She argues that these women deserve recognition for not only their creation of new forms of writing, but also their contributions to Korea’s emerging sense of herself as a modern and independent nation.

Book excerpt: During the 1990s, Korea experienced a rapid transformation of its cultural identities as a result of globalisation, so much so that the period is remembered as an age of desire, consumption and globalisation. This rapid social and cultural change has prompted many young women to transform their identities, and in turn has resulted in new forms of social relations, which work to further transform gender identities and open up new spaces for engaging with the construction and contestation of femininities in South Korea. This book provides a number of different ways of thinking about gender, media and culture by making a connection between the global and the local in order to show how the complexity of young women's identities in the era of global media culture are constructed and contested within very specific times and spaces in South Korea. Data collected from interviews with groups of women, along with magazine and newspaper articles, reveal a number of key issues, including the visible transformation of experiences of plastic surgery and the development of a novel concept, the Missy, as a form of new femininities. The book presents a fresh perspective on theorising women's identities, and is a useful contribution to media and culture studies, postcolonial studies, women and gender studies.

Download or read book The Language of Hallyu written by Jieun Kiaer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language of Hallyu will re-examine the language of the Korean Wave by looking at popular K-content. In doing so, it will expose the meanings that get lost in translation, hidden under subtitles. Over the past decade, hallyu (the Korean wave) has exploded in popularity around the globe. K-films, K-drama, and K-pop were once small subcultures, known mostly by Korea’s East and Southeast Asian neighbours and Korean diaspora. Now, K-content has entered the international mainstream. Consequently, interest in Korean language has grown, while interest in language learning in general has decreased. Many textbooks emphasise that Korean is a ‘polite’ language, but this book will highlight that this is not the case. The Language of Hallyu examines popular K-content, including Parasite (2019), Minari (2020), Squid Game (2021), and Pachinko (2022). The author introduces language stylistics to explain how Koreans style their language to suit every occasion. She argues that they do this via a process of visual scanning and social tuning, whereby visual clues are assessed in tangent with an individual’s sociocultural awareness. The author concludes by highlighting the danger of the jondaemal/banmal (polite/casual speech) divide, demonstrating that Korean language is so much more than polite. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in Korean language and culture, particularly those interested in linguistics and pragmatics.
