Korean Youth: Spaces, Ecologies and Technologies conference
Korean Studies at the University of Edinburgh is pleased to announce a conference titled:
Korean Youth: Spaces, Ecologies and Technologies which will be held at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland on the 19th/20th June, 2023.
The twentieth century has been conceptualised as an era of youth, in which the teenager, the tweenager and the pre-teen were invented.
Rapid social changes across the globe, liberalising economic and social norms and reconfigurations of governmental, social and industrial-
business complexes have transformed the landscapes in which these seemingly new categories of young people live, work, play and move.
While the teenager did not necessarily arrive late in Korea, young people had been through a series of recent conflicts, revolutions, colonisations and traumas
which would surely impact their experience of youth culture and possibilities. South Korean young people had been key agents of its democratisation and justice struggles,
even at their most violent, so are deeply embedded in the processes of contemporary cultural and social formation in their country.
Given all of this, this conference aims to give PhD and graduate students, young and emerging scholars, post-doctoral scholars, established academics, practitioners
and others focused on Korean youth and youth cultures as it/they encounter and connect with the political, social, economic, environmental and cultural transformations both in Korea and across the globe in the present or near present day.
We intend this conference to be multi or inter-disciplinary in every way, and to explore the cutting edges of youth experience in twenty-first century Korea,
navigating spaces and terrains such as the workplaces and industries of the future, landscapes of social and cultural practice, social organisation,
political resistance and struggle, environmental and ecological futures, as well as the terrains of nationalist reconstruction, gender, identity and culture wars.
Keynote/plenary speakers already confirmed include Dr Olga Fedorenko, Associate Professor in Anthropology at Seoul National University and Raphael Rashid, the Seoul based freelance journalist (and prolific tweeter as @koryodynasty).
We hope the conference will give a really concrete opportunity to present research, share academic interests, and strengthen ties with others,
exploring various fields and disciplines focused on young Koreans and the spaces they create, occupy, are subjected to, and imagine.
