Bonjour et bonne année ! Je suis à Paris et je vous donne rendez-vous le mardi 9 janvier prochain pour une rencontre à la librairie Le Phénix autour de l’ouvrage « Urbanités coréennes ». Nous y parlerons des villes et de la société sud-coréennes, mais aussi de cinéma, car cet ouvrage aborde l'urbanité à travers films et documentaires. Ce sera aussi pour moi l’occasion de vous parler du numéro spécial Corée de la revue « Critique » qui sort le 1er février prochain. A partir de 17h, Bd Sébastopol, Paris, entrée libre.
Elisa Haberer sera aussi présente pour vous parler de la ville de Gyeongju et de son ouvrage "Les Couleurs des tumuli". Colloque international « Genre et nations partitionnées » organisé par Anne Castaing (CNRS/CEIAS) et Benjamin Joinau (Hongik University/CRC) 14-15 décembre 2017 de 09h15 à 18h École des hautes études en sciences sociales – EHESS (salle 737) 54 boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris La « communauté imaginée » qu’est la nation mobilise les symboles les plus archétypaux pour se représenter dans les arts et les médias populaires et ces symboles sont le plus souvent genrés – que l’on pense à la Marianne de la jeune République française. En plus d’être l’écho du genre grammatical des valeurs de cette république dont elle est l’allégorie, Marianne est la figure de l’Alma Mater, à la fois nourricière et protectrice, qualités essentielles d’un Etat-nation ou d’un régime politique. Mais comment se pense une nation divisée politiquement par une partition ? Allemagne, Inde-Pakistan-Bangladesh, Irlande, Corée, Vietnam, Israël-Palestine, Yougoslavie – les cas de figure sont divers, couvrant jusqu’aux décolonisations, mais montrent que la partition renvoie spontanément à des représentations polarisées autour de relations genrées et hiérarchisées. De manière allégorique, celle-ci peut prendre la figure du frère et de la sœur, de la mère et du fils, même si le plus souvent, l’image du couple marié ou amoureux cherchant à se réunir est prédominante. Cependant, le binôme à (ré)apparier n’est pas le seul mode de symbolisation genrée de la division nationale. La partition, en tant que processus même, génère des violences, qui sont fondamentalement structurantes des rapports homme-femme aussi bien au niveau des pratiques que des représentations. En particulier, les femmes, porteuses et garantes de l’identité ethnique, sont couramment l’objet de violences sexuelles. Le viol, l’humiliation, la souffrance, le deuil (mari, enfants) infligés aux femmes et aux hommes en situation de partition en font le symbole non plus seulement d’une partie, mais du tout de la Nation divisée. Les femmes sont ainsi souvent investies d’un enjeu symbolique où se jouent, en plus des identités genrées, les identités collectives et leurs représentations. Ces dernières sont rarement monolithiques et font elles-mêmes l’objet de combinaisons variées et concurrentes, révélant la dynamique qui se joue au niveau de l’imaginaire d’une communauté quand elle est confrontée à une division interne. Plus que des symboles isolés, ce sont des mises en récit complexes que nous devons appréhender dans leur diversité narrative.
I did a presentation on "Pyongyang in North Korean fiction films" at the Pyongyang Sallim Symposium in MMCA, in Seoul.The May 2017 session of the “Seoul Colloquium in Korean Studies,” organized jointly by the Seoul Center of the ÉFEO and RAS Korea, will be held on Thursday May 18 in the Grand Conference Room (Room number 310), of the Asiatic Research Institute, Korea University, beginning at 6:00 pm. Everyone interested in Korean Studies is welcome, please share this information. No registration is needed. May Presentation “Constructing National Food: North and South Korean Cookbooks and the Standardization of National Cuisine” by Benjamin Joinau In the context of national constructs, recipe books define an ideal corpus of national cuisine. The need for standardized recipe books started in Korea during the 20th century, when Korea was facing rapid modernization in the Japanese colonial context. Partition later opened a new dilemma: if Korean culture is one, so should be Korean cuisine – but in the context of the long partition and of the Cold War regime of opposition, the two States tend to require increased differentiation. These competing identities are well expressed in the different recipe books which have been published on both sides on an official or semi-official level. This study will be based on the detailed statistical analysis of the North Korean “Bible” of its own cuisine: Chosŏn ryori chŏnchip (Encyclopedia of Chosŏn Cuisine, 1994-2014, Pyongyang). We will proceed to a categorization of the types of dishes, as well as methods of cooking and main ingredients used in recipes. In order to have a synchronic comparison, recent data from South Korea will be included in the comparative analysis. We will analyze Hanguk ŭmsik kich’o chori (Basic Cooking of South Korean Dishes, Yoon Sook-ja, 2008, Seoul), because the author had her book translated in several languages, insisting on the fact that the recognition of Korean gastronomy on the international stage relies on the standardization of recipes. Through these thorough analysis, we will be able to proceed to an in-depth comparison of the way North and South Korea construct their national cuisine through such recipe books. Benjamin Joinau holds a doctorate in cultural anthropology specialized in Korean Studies. He is a researcher of the Center of Korean Studies (CRC) at EHESS, Paris, and assistant professor at Hongik University, Seoul. He has been living and working in South Korea since 1994. His Ph.D. thesis analyzed the regimes of otherness in Korean cinema. Beside cinema, he works on different materials like food culture and cityscape in both North and South Koreas. He anchors his methodological frame in Gilbert Durand’s « mythodology » in order to delineate the structures of the Korean modern imaginary. He has published several articles and books in French, English and Korean. He is also the director of the publishing house Atelier des Cahiers (www.atelierdescahiers.com). From Korea University station (line 6), take exit 1, go to the right, up the sloping walkway to the campus. Walk past the building with the Ilmin Museum (the first building you'll see almost in front of you, a little to the left), and continue walking straight up the hill until you reach the Asiatic Research Institute on the right. We will go somewhere for supper at the end of the colloquium. After 6 pm the front door of the Institute will be locked, so please try to arrive a little earlier. If the door is locked, please either wait for somone to come out or phone to Brother Anthony (010-8979-8301) so that we can let you into the building.
[SEMU-YÉOL LECTURE] 2017 May Food Heritage in Korea: How to Preserve and Develop Food Culture Lecturer: Benjamin Joinau Assistant professor, Hongik University It is an evidence to say that food is both substance and symbol, providing physical nourishment and a key mode of communication that carries one's group culture. In a world of constant cultural contact and exchange, the change of diets seems to have accelerated, but the boundaries that separate cultures have not disappeared. Food is, in this context, more than ever maybe, essential to perform, express and maintain one's collective identity. Moreover, it has become a key factor in promoting one's culture as a soft power and it has also become a leading industry to foster. It is in such a context of both globalization and national branding focusing on local specificity, that the issue of food heritage in Korea came to exist. This lecture will present the different aspects of this quest for defining and preserving Korean food culture since the end of the 20th century: the role of cookbooks in writing a national cuisine, the rediscovery of royal court food culture, the long process of geographical indications recognition, the "kimchi war" and the registration of gimjang on the UNESCO intangible heritage list, the arrival of the Michelin guide... All these themes will help us to understand the different policies and strategies used to preserve and develop Korean food culture, both on institutional and private levels, locally and internationally.
