Azalea: Journal of Korean Literature & Culture
Special Features: Contemporary Korean Women Writers, Korean Women’s Poetry, Writer in Focus: Kwon Yeo-Sun, Voice from the Colonial Period: Imamura Eiji.
Volume 17 (2024)
Editor Young-Jun Lee introduces the new issue of Azalea with Special Features that focus on the Feminist Reboot of the 2010’s, stating:
Korean literature in the 20th century was dominated by men, but that changed in the 1990s after democratization and the rise of the economy. If you read literary magazines from the 1990s, you will find that names of women writers on the contents pages are strikingly more numerous than those of men. This trend has continued for almost three decades now and it is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, as long as Korean women writers are responding to Korean society, which keeps women in an inferior position. “Feminism Reboot” was one of the critiques of the resilient patriarchal system in Korea.
Personal income in South Korea has recently overtaken that of Japan. South Korea’s rise is not only economic, but also cultural. Pop culture fans, including many young people around the world, are fascinated by Korean culture and new works coming out of South Korea. The popularity of Korean language programs at universities around the world has gone beyond the limits of what those universities can accommodate. And yet, by any standard, it is still undeniable that women in South Korea are victims of serious social inequality.

Korean Studies
Special Section: A Translational Reading of the Invention of Korea’s Confucian Traditions
Special Section: Portrayals of Motherhood in South Koran Popular and Practices Culture
Volume 48 (2024)
Editor Cheehyung Harrison Kim introduces this issue and the two Special Sections:
Two interconnected Special Sections are at the core of this volume. The first is titled “A Transnational Reading of the Invention of Korea’s Confucian Traditions,” exceptionally guest edited by Daham Chong (Sangmyung University). The second is guest editor Bonnie Tilland’s (Leiden University) superb “Portrayals of Motherhood in South Korean Popular and Practiced Culture.” Confucianism and motherhood are notions and practices tied to the ideological perception of constancy, on the one hand, and the shifting epistemological norms based on cultural and historical exigencies, on the other. The authors of the two Special Sections question and explore various historical and cultural predicaments of Confucianism and motherhood in modern and contemporary Korea.
The Special Section on the invention of Confucian traditions begins with Daham Chong’s meticulous account of the influence Max Weber had on modern Korean historians’ comprehension of Confucianism-derived systems in late Koryǒ and early Chosǒn, namely the civil service examination. Young-chan Choi (University of Oxford) adroitly investigates the epistemological changes distinctly occurring in late nineteenth century Korea, in which Confucianism comes to be seen as inferior to the modernist understandings of the world stemming from Protestantism. The postliberation space is Kim Hunjoo’s (Hanbat National University) research area, where the process of remaking Confucianism as a new tradition is carefully scrutinized in relation to the nation building process. The final piece in this Special Section is on literary culture. Owen Stampton’s (University of British Columbia) sophisticated article probes into the tension between tradition and modern life as experienced by women characters in Yi Kwang-su’s 1917 play Kyuhan, as well as discussing the birth of the modern stage in Korea.

Mānoa
Volume 36, Number 1 (2024)
Special Issue: Karahee from the Cane Fields
Guest Editor Rajiv Mohabir introduces this issue:
This special issue of Mānoa represents new writing from established and emerging voices from this particular diaspora, one that I am intimately tied to through my history and through the spirits that haunt me still. The British took Indians from the depots in the then ports of Calcutta and Madras in repurposed slave ships to their settlements and colonies in Fiji, Mauritius, Reunion, South Africa, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, and Surinam. This issue includes writers from these various sites and plantation communities who have Creolized and changed through staying past their indenture contracts. Several generations after this settling by ancestors who were coolies bound to Empire, these writers and artists practice. This issue of writing from the Coolie Diaspora asks: what is the inheritance of the cane field, the cane-sap residue marking the descendants of this system of indenture?
