The 2024 Korean Cinema with Hyangjin Lee
By now, the renaissance of Korean cinema, culminating most visibly in the success of Parasite (2019) at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and the 92nd Academy Awards, is well known. But few have spoken about the hidden force behind its global success–a group of female producers and directors, who have spearheaded its most recent wave of popularity by producing films of diverse genres, appealing to global audiences of different ages, backgrounds and tastes. The breadth of their collective works ranges from the social critiques of Next Sohee (2022) to the blockbuster action comedy of EXIT (2019). <The 2024 Korean Cinema with Hyangjin Lee> focuses on those who draw sympathy and solidarity between global audiences, offering them a new cinematic experience of historical memories from a woman’s perspective. The three films chosen for this year are: Taxi Driver (2017), a story of German journalist Jürgen Hinzpeter and taxi driver Kim Sa-bok who witnessed the struggles of citizens for the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement together; The Age of Shadows (2016), the first Korean film produced and distributed by Warner Bros, which dramatizes espionage set in the Japanese forced occupation period; and Sugung-The Underwater Palace (2023) which documents a story of women pansori, the disappearing Sugunga . Border-crossing and transnational memories are key words chosen for <The 2024 Korean Cinema with Hyangjin Lee> to hear the silenced voices of women rewriting history.

KEC Special Lecture Series on North Korea
When was North Korea's state system formed? There are varying opinions on this matter. Some suggest it was in the 1930s when the country was actively engaged in anti-Japanese activities. Others argue for the 1960s, citing the establishment of a unitary system, while some point to the 1980s when the successor system was solidified. However, the 1950s are often considered the pivotal period, as it was during this decade that the foundational elements of the social and economic system were put in place. Pyongyang was designated as the capital city, and significant growth occurred in the industrial sector. In light of these historical considerations, we have organized three lectures aimed at delving into the process of North Korea's National System Building during the 1950s. Through these lectures, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of North Korea's new strategy in the 2000s, centered around the reconstruction of its national system.

KEC Special Lecture Series on the Korean Wave (Hallyu)
K-pop, a global cultural phenomenon, garners mixed opinions. Some see it as "soft power" supported by the Korean government, serving diplomatic and economic purposes, while others dismiss it as a fleeting trend. Amid praise and criticism, K-pop offers bold narratives, worldviews, and top-notch choreography, defining itself as an artistic performance. It has not only replaced Western idol models but also serves as an industrial prototype that the West is beginning to adopt. K-pop's resilience can be attributed to its fan-centric approach and diverse production system. K-pop agencies connect creators of different backgrounds, forming a cultural network. This lecture aims to focus on the "perspectives," "strategies," and "methodologies" of K-pop creators that captivate global fans. Understanding their values, methods, and fan engagement offers insight into K-pop's present and future in the global music market.

Confucian Heritage: Decoding Writings of Chosŏn Literati
Internationaler Workshop of subproject C09 „Evaluationen von Wissen in konfuzianischen Akademien“ Given a troublesome history of the modern perception of Confucian teaching both in the West and East Asia there is a strong tension between texts of Chosŏn Literati perceived as Confucian and a large corpus of texts which are relegated either to the realm of literature, official documents, or personal materials. The purpose of the present workshop is to challenge the dichotomy and bring to attention various types of Literati writings which have been considered as not typically Confucian for a long time and were largely neglected by modern research or studied only as collateral products of Confucian scholars. This concerns above all large corpus of texts studied predominantly by literature specialists, such as poetry or epigraphics, texts, understood as official documents including various sorts of court memorandum, reports or policy plans and analysis, as well as a broad range of texts mined mostly for information on the author represented by correspondence, dialogues with disciples or diaries. The notion of dichotomy between pure literature, expressing personal feelings of Chosŏn Literati, and their ideologically motivated official writings addressed either to the Korean State authorities or fellow scholars and disciples was to a large degree constructed by the Literati themselves to appeal to diverse audiences in their official capacities yet it should not obscure the fact that most of their personal writings were motivated by the same ideals of the Learning of the Way like their reform proposals or documents written in their official capacities. As a prime example of stereotypical treatment of a Confucian scholar’s œuvre could serve collected writings of Yulgok Yi I (1536–1584) and their historical and modern reflections as materials recommending knowledge transfer and epistemic changes within Chosŏn Confucian discourse. Workshop presentations will focus an analysis of various Literari forms and genres employed by Yulgok in his quest for the spreading of the Confucian message and engage in a dialogue over the question whether of his takes could be singled out as typically Confucian or not. This seemingly trivial question is a basic precondition for a fundamental revision of the existing notion of what is currently understood under a category of Korean philosophical or Confucian texts.

KEC Special Lecture Series 2023 - Sailing or drifting? The Korean wave, self and fandoms
The Korean Wave consistently piques the interest of media outlets. Especially in the German context, it is still perceived as a new trend. Sceptic voices remain most visible and question the reasons for its success. The most popular view is the soft-power perspective, painting the Korean cultural industry and its artists as embedded in foreign policy processes. Other views characterise Hallyu as a passing trend, a short-lived anomaly. Lastly, success is sometimes attributed to consumerism, stating that K-pop and other Korean cultural content are designed to appeal to everyone and especially the inexperienced youth. In short, Korean cultural content and its consumers are eyed with both wonder and distrust. Beyond popular media discourse, academic discussion on how to understand the Korean Wave and its impact on a changing media landscape has emerged. However, until now, the German case was largely sidelined in discussions. Focusing on K-pop, the special lecture series “Sailing or drifting? The Korean Wave, self, and Fandoms” addresses this gap by providing an opportunity to discuss the impact of the Korean Wave on youth. Are individuals simply swept up by the wave or consciously riding it? Moving beyond arguments about the maturity of consumers and/or manipulation by media, the series highlights the artistic dimension of internationally popular Korean music and dances.

[Buchpräsentation] Die Dritte Reflexion - Lehren der deutschen Wiedervereinigung für Korea
Das Korea-Europe Center und das koreanische Kulturzentrum Berlin begrüßen Prof. Dr. Woo-ik Yu, ehemaliger Wiedervereinigungsminister der Republik Korea und Honorarprofessor an der Seoul National University. Im Rahmen des Human Security and Development Forums präsentiert er am 18. Oktober 2022 von 17 bis 19 Uhr (CEST) sein Buch am Institut für Koreastudien an der Freien Universität Berlin. Zusammenfassung: Was kann Korea aus den Erfahrungen der deutschen Wiedervereinigung lernen? Dieser Frage geht der Verfasser in seinen Reflexionen nach. Basierend auf einem einjährigen Forschungsaufenthalt in Berlin, zahlreichen Interviews, Reisen und Beobachtungen im geeinten Deutschland vermitteln seine Studien positive Einsichten wie auch bedrückende Perspektiven der deutschen Situation nach 30 Jahren Wiedervereinigung. Diese Erfahrungen werden sodann vor dem Hintergrund der geteilten koreanischen Halbinsel reflektiert. Die dortige Situation ist grundlegend anders: historisch, politisch, geostrategisch! Die intimen Kenntnisse des Wissenschaftlers und Politikers, besonders die des früheren Wiedervereinigungsministers, vermitteln tiefe Einblicke in die Komplexität der koreanischen Situation. Den vielfältigen Friedensinitiativen Südkoreas steht die starre Diktatur der Familiendynastie Kim in Nordkorea unversöhnlich gegenüber. China, Russland, Japan und die USA nutzen z. T. zynisch die tiefen Differenzen zwischen Atommacht und Armenhaus Nordkorea und dem reichen Süden für ihre eigenen geopolitischen Interessen. Droht das Pulverfass Korea zu explodieren? Konkrete Lösungsvorschläge für eine friedliche Wiedervereinigung Koreas beschließen den Text.

2022 Korea Global Forum for Peace The Impact of the War in Ukraine on Inter-Korean Cooperation and Security Systems in the Korean Peninsula (Session 8-3)
The geopolitical restructuring triggered by the Ukraine War has created a shockwave that has unsettled not only inter-Korean cooperation but also the overall security of the Korean Peninsula. Ukraine's Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR), which was originally considered to be a successful denuclearization program, was viewed as an unreasonable alternative. The reason for this is because Ukraine succeeded in denuclearization but it failed to guarantee security. As Russia became the target of economic sanctions, the effectiveness of economic sanctions on North Korea decreased. While the economic sanctions imposed on North Korea did not lead to denuclearization, they did succeed in isolating the North Korean economy and limiting its actions. However, as the target of economic sanctions expanded, the restrictions were weakened. The weakening of the Helsinki process, along with Finland's accession to NATO membership, also undermined the structure of the Six-Party Talks, which were created to ensure security for the Korean Peninsula. It is time to consider the situation and acknowledge that the security system is being dismantled.
