강원대 철학과 30주년 제1차
콜로키움이 지난달 30일 교내 학과 세미나실에서 열렸다.
`한·중·일 3국 동아시아 사상사 인식 비교 면면관'을 주제로 (사)강원한국학연구원(원장:유성선)이 진행한 이날 행사에서는 중국 절강공상대학 한국학연구소장인 김준 교수의 강연과 토론으로 진행됐다. 중국 연변자치주 화룡현 출신인 김준 교수는 이날 강연에서 천진시 소재 남계대학에서 역사학에 입문해 연변대(석사)와 일본 히로시마대학(박사과정)에서 수학하며 실감한 동아시아 3국의 관계와 상호발전 도모를 역설했다. 또 절강공상대학에 한국학연구원이 설립된 배경과 연구분야도 소개해 시선을 끌었다. 대학 내 동시아문화연구원(원장:왕룡·북경대 교수) 산하에 일본학연구소, 서적의 길(Book-Rod) 연구소가 함께 있는데 3국의 관계에서 보듯 한국학연구소의 역할이 막중하다고 밝혔다. 특히 절강공상대학의 동시아문화연구원이 쓰고 있는 거대한 독립건물이 병합 이전의 항주대 일본학연구소였는데 일본인들이 건축비를 댔다는 내력을 밝혀 우리의 역할을 되짚어보게 했다. 이날 행사를 주관한 강원대 철학과 유성선 교수는 “동아시아 학술네트워크를 구축해 매년 학술행사와 현장워크숍을 순회 개최할 계획”이라고 말했다. 신하림기자 peace@kwnews.co.kr |

Hisory of Post Korean War North Korean attacks on South Korea
Timeline: North Korean attacks
Amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, and multiple
threats from North Korea of attacks on US and South Korean targets, the BBC
looks at some of the major attacks and incursions which have been blamed on
Pyongyang.
January 1967
North Korean artillery targets a South Korean vessel, the Dangpo, patrolling in the Yellow Sea with 70 sailors on board. The ship sinks, killing 39 of the crew.
January 1968
A team of 31 North Korean commandos crosses into South Korea and breaks into the presidential palace, the Blue House, in an attempt to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. The attempt is crushed by South Korean security forces, Mr Park survives but seven South Koreans and most of the commandos are killed.
January 1968
The research ship the USS Pueblo is captured by North Korea while on a surveillance mission. One crew member dies during the capture and the remaining 82 are taken to prison camps in the North.
The prisoners are released 11 months later after the US gave an apology and assurances the vessel had not been spying - both were later retracted. The Pueblo remains in North Korea as a museum - the only US warship in captivity.
December 1969
A South Korean airliner is hijacked and forced to fly to North Korea. Dozens of passengers are taken hostage. In January, 39 of the hostages were released but the remaining 12 are not known to have been freed.
August 1974
President Park's wife dies during a second attempt on his life - she is hit by stray bullets after a suspected North Korean agent opens fire at a public function.
October 1983
North Korea bombs a hotel in Rangoon, Burma, during a visit by President Chun Doo-hwan. He survives but 21 people, including some government ministers, are killed.
November 1987
A bomb, allegedly planted by North Korean agents, explodes on board a South Korean airliner travelling to Seoul from Baghdad. All 115 passengers and crew are killed.
September 1996
A North Korean submarine runs aground near Gangneung, off the east coast of South Korea, while allegedly conducting a spy mission. The crew of 26 escape to the shore, sparking a manhunt.
Eleven of the crew are found dead, apparently shot by their compatriots, but the rest go on the run for nearly two months. One alleged spy escapes, one is captured by South Korean security forces and the rest are killed. Several South Koreans also die in the operation.
March 2010
A 1,200-tonne Corvette, the Cheonan, goes down near the disputed maritime border with North Korea - the Northern Limit Line. Many of the crew members escape but 46 are killed. After an extensive investigation, Seoul rules that a torpedo explosion directly beneath the vessel sank it and that the only "plausible explanation" is that North Korea was to blame. Pyongyang denies any involvement.
November 2010
North Korea shells a South Korean border island, Yeonpyeong, killing four South Koreans, including two civilians. It says it was responding to military exercises in the South.

Cosmopolitan view a key to success
Many perceive globalization as a fairly
modern trend, but an expert of 6th-century Korean history said it is not a new
concept, a foreign expert on the 6th century Korean history.
In fact, it has existed ever since the Silla dynasty.
“The Silla dynasty’s cosmopolitan world view had led to the reunification of the three dynasties ― Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla ― and the world approaches of the Silla dynasty much resemble the modern Korea’s world view ―- which made both successful,” Pankaj Mohan, Silla expert and professor at the Academy of Korean Studies, told The Korea Herald.
The Indian professor, who has devoted two-thirds of his life to Korean studies and Korean history, said his research about Korea was inspired by a poem by an Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The enlightening passage he read goes like this: “In the golden age of Asia/Korea was one of its lamp-bearers/and that lamp is waiting to be lighted once again for the illumination in the East.”
Since then, he has focused on Korea’s influence on other Asian countries and discovered intriguing similarities between the 6th-century Silla dynasty and modern Korea’s development.
“Silla scholars studied the outer world, where they got their guiding principles that gave them both originality and creativity. Likewise, in contemporary society, Korea is also prosperous, because they are out in the world learning foreign ideas and creativity while keeping their traditional values at the same time.”
“Silla, too, became one of the most advanced and formidable powers in the Korean peninsula because of such traits. A country can become strong by opening the door to the world ― by learning from the experience of other cultures and countries.”
As an example, he cited the Silla settlement in the Shandong area of China - much like Koreatowns in other countries these days, “A large number of Silla people settled in Shandong area and had their own temples too,” he said.
When he began Korean studies back in 1976 in the Jawaharlal Nehru University, his parents were skeptical about learning the Korean language as a way to build a career. “My parents thought that if I studied English literature or other languages such as French or German, I would have better job prospects.”
“But I was encouraged to study this field after meeting with a very good master, Seo Kyung-soo, from Dongguk University, who had established Korean history for the first time in New Delhi.”
Through Seo, he had developed a firm belief that Korea would prosper, just as Tagore foresaw in his poem.
“The lamp has been lit up,” he said.
“I was convinced at that time that Korea is the country of the future. Small as it may be, it is a dynamic economy with lot of potential.”
He also found the study of the Korean history insufficient. “It was like a well kept secret, not properly explored, I wanted to be the frontier.”
Many scholars in the west tend to study Chinese or Japanese history rather than Korean history, he said but pointed out that by understanding Korea, one can understand China and Japan with clarity. “Korea’s influence and transformation have greatly affected their histories.”
“I want to highlight the role of Korea in introducing the Buddhist culture to Japan and the ways in which the Koreans adopted the Chinese culture to their situation.”
In recognition of his contribution to the development of Korean studies at home and abroad, Seoul City recently gave him honorary citizenship.
“When you see a well, you should think about people who worked hard to dig that well. Likewise, the honorary citizenship makes me think about ancestors of Seoul, those past leaders who worked hard to make the capital a beautiful city. I feel a great responsibility to do something to add to its dynamism and to make Korea and Seoul better understood to the outside world.”
Currently, Mohan is a faculty head at the academy and also a professor at Sydney University in Australia. He is on a three-year leave from the university, which he is spending in Korea.

Lab for
Globalization of Korean Studies
Vyjayanti Raghavan (Associate Professor Korean Language, Literature & Culture Studies, JNU, New Delhi).
Vyjayanti Raghavan (Associate Professor Korean Language, Literature & Culture Studies, JNU, New Delhi).
The Strategic Initiative for Korean Studies (SIKS) has itself been an innovative idea for initiating research in Korean studies.
It is committed to and has pioneered many excellent academic works around the globe in the field of Korean studies.
The recently launched Lab for Globalization of Korean studies is also one such innovative initiative which as the name suggests will be a lab for conducting research under the able guidance and direction of a Lab master who will bring together researchers of this area of study and also decide the topic of research.
The world has become far more interdependent now than ever before and it is only right that researchers of the same area of study are linked together for more productive, efficient and less duplication of research work.
In an era when Korea itself has gone global it is only right that Korean studies too become global to keep in tune with the growing interest in the area.
More than anything else, the funding of such globalization of Korean studies will ensure collective participation of researchers who may until now have had an interest but not had the funds to conduct meaningful research on Korea.
This initiative is innovative in that it will help simplify the procedure for conducting research by doing away with bureaucratic procedures and reams of paper work which have largely been responsible for procedural delays and for killing all incentive and motivation for research work.
It is innovative in that it no longer provides just an opportunity and financial aid for conducting research about Korea but will also initiate change in the subject matter to be studied and through that bring about a concurrent change in the global perception of Korean studies.
And which organization is better placed than the Academy of Korean Studies to provide such new models for innovation and experimentation?

TOPIK - An Introduction
TOPIK, or Test of Proficiency in Korean is a Korean language test offered four times annually to foreigners in Korea and twice annually to people studying Korean in other countries. TOPIK is administered by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation (Hangul: 한국교육과정평가원 Hanja: 韓國敎育課程評價院).The test was first administered in 1997 and taken by 2274 people. Initially the test was held only once a year.In 2009, 180,000 people took the test.[2] The Korean government introduced a law in 2007 that required Chinese workers of Korean descent who have no relatives in Korea to take the test so they could be entered in a lottery for visas.The test is divided into four parts: vocabulary & grammar, writing, listening, and reading. There is currently no oral section. Two versions of the test are offered: standard (S)-TOPIK and the business (B)-TOPIK. There are three different levels of S-TOPIK: beginner (초급), intermediate (중급), and advanced (고급). Depending on the average score and minimum marks in each section it is possible to obtain grades 1-2 in beginner, 3-4 in intermediate and 5-6 in advanced S-TOPIK. In B-TOPIK the scores in each section (out of 100) are added together to give a score out of 400. In addition to Korea, TOPIK is available in the following countries: Japan, Taiwan, China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Paraguay, Argentina, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Czech Republic, Egypt, Belarus, Russia, Brazil and Cambodia.

World Bank picks health expert Kim as president

WASHINGTON
Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:35pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Bank on Monday chose Korean-born American health expert Jim Yong Kim as its new president, maintaining Washington's grip on the job and leaving developing countries frustrated with the selection process.
Kim, a physician and anthropologist who makes for a somewhat unorthodox choice to head the global anti-poverty lender, won the job over Nigeria's widely respected finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, with the support of Washington's allies in Western Europe, Japan and Canada - as well as some emerging economies.
It was the first time in the World Bank's history that the United States' hold on the job was challenged.
The decision by the World Bank's 25-member board was not unanimous, with emerging economies splitting their support. Brazil and South Africa backed Okonjo-Iweala, while three sources said China and India supported Kim.
Kim, 52, who is president of Dartmouth College, will assume his new post on July 1 after Robert Zoellick steps down as head of the World Bank.
"I will seek a new alignment of the World Bank Group with a rapidly changing world," Kim said in a statement.
He said he would work to ensure that the World Bank "delivers more powerful results to support sustained growth; prioritizes evidence-based solutions over ideology; amplifies the voices of developing countries; and draws on the expertise and experience of the people we serve."
Okonjo-Iweala congratulated Kim and said the competition had led to "important victories" for developing nations, which have increasingly pushed for more say at both institutions.
Still, she said more effort was needed to end the "unfair tradition" that ensured Washington's dominance of the global development lender.
"It is clear to me that we need to make it more open, transparent and merit-based," Okonjo-Iweala said. "We need to make sure that we do not contribute to a democratic deficit in global governance."
Some development experts criticized U.S. President Barack Obama's choice as lacking the economic and financial credentials needed to respond to the needs of rising middle-income countries, which are still riddled with poverty but which are increasingly looking for innovative ways to finance their development.
The United States said the process was open and transparent, but a number of emerging nations questioned whether candidates were assessed on their nationalities rather than on their merits, as World Bank members countries had agreed in 2010.
The United States has held the presidency since the World Bank's founding after World War Two, while a European has always led its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund.
BREAKING THE MOLD
Unlike previous heads of the World Bank, Kim is not a politician, a banker or a career diplomat. He has worked to bring health care to the poor in developing countries, whether fighting tuberculosis in Haiti and Peru or tackling HIV/AIDS in Russian prisons.
His training and experience, including directing the World Health Organization's HIV/AIDS department and developing treatments for a form of drug resistant tuberculosis, gave him immediate credentials as a campaigner on behalf of the poor.
He is also a founder of Partners In Health, which focuses on community health programs for impoverished nations. He earned both his medical degree and his doctorate in anthropology at Harvard University, where he helped set up the Global Health Delivery Project.
South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan welcomed the fact that non-Americans competed for the first time, but also said there were concerns the process was not fully merit-based.
"I think we are going to find that the process falls short of that," he said.
As part of their efforts to gain greater say in global financial institutions, emerging economies are also pushing for greater voting power at the International Monetary Fund.
Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said his country would not give additional money to the IMF to tackle the effects of the European sovereign debt crisis until the institution showed firm commitment to voting reforms.
Former Colombian finance minister Jose Antonio Ocampo withdrew from the race for the top World Bank post on Friday, saying the process had become highly political.
Nancy Birdsall, president of the Washington-based Center for Global Development, said it would be healthy if countries made public which candidate they supported and why.
"History was made because there were three candidates," she said. "In the next round it would be good to have more transparency about which board member supported which candidate for what reason."
Birdsall said it would be important for Kim to show early on that he was committed to change by appointing candidates from developing countries to other top posts.

The 6th All India Korean Language Educators’ Workshop, 2012 held in India
The 6th All India Korean Language Educators’ Workshop, 2012 held in India. Unfortunately, I could'nt participate in the Workshop as I am in Korea but it was a great opportunity to get an idea of the current status of Korean Language Learning and its development in India. It was a valuable opportunity to listen some of the distinguished scholars from Korea at the same time. Here are the details of the schedule of the Workshop. I wish all the best for the upcoming Academic activities related to Korean language and Korean Studies in future. This kind of academic moves are immensley significant in a highly populated Country like India where the Korean language learners are increasing at a rapid speed. As the demand of the Korean language and Korean Studies are increasing in India, there is a necessity of more Korean Language Centres in the other parts of the Country especially in rural areas where Korea is not well known among the masses.
