With essays from a range of internationally respected scholars, this collection moves between history, diplomacy, politics, education, migration, literature, cinema, and architecture to uncover historical and cultural intersections between Germany and Korea. Each nation has navigated the challenges of modernity in different ways, and yet traditional East-West dichotomies belie the deeper affinities between them. This book ** points to those affinities, focusing in particular on the past and present internal divisions that perhaps make Germany and Korea as similar as Germany and Japan.
Explores the history of the dynamic relationship between German-speaking countries and Korea from multiple academic disciplines, including cultural studies, migration, diplomatic relations, economics, religious studies, philosophy, and others Creates a thoughtful transnational and comparative approach to the emerging field of European-Asian relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Includes some of the most well-known, international scholars in the field from Germany, South Korea, and the United States Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
