It is the root idea that embraces both the achievements and contradictions, the light and shadows, the possibilities and despair of Korean society. It is a question that is sorrowful, cunning, and brutal all at once. In short, our modern era was shaped around the question: <em data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"937\">\u201cWhat does it mean to survive?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"1525\">This book directly confronts that question. It is a rigorous self-reflection on modern Korea, a meditation on the identity of Korean sociology, and at the same time, an experimental inquiry into the values and desires of a new Korean society in the 21st century. Understanding the time we have lived through\u2014and the time we are yet to live\u2014through the lens of survival offers a way to trace the origins of the values and desires that drive 21st-century Korean society. It can also serve as a starting point for contemplating and assessing where we are heading, and where we want to go.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Presenter: Hong-Jung Kim (Dept. of Sociology)<br \/>\nDiscussants: Jeong-hwan Cheon (Dept. of Korean Literature, Sungkyunkwan University), Yoon Heo (Dept. of Korean Literature, Ewha Womans University)<br \/>\nModerator: Jiyoung Seo (Center for Hallyu Studies, SNUAC)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;RSVP&#8221; color=&#8221;sandy-brown&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2F8Pd3GaoghRFrGGDx8|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Date:\u00a0April 28th, Monday, 2025, 16:00 &#8211; 17:40 Online via Zoom What was the dominant consciousness that shaped 20th-century Korea?
