Abstract:

This article examines two recent queer adaptations of Romeo and Juliet in Seoul, attending to their opposite receptions in relation to the gap between queer theory and gay reality. It focuses on LAS's Juliet and Juliet, hailed as ‘female queer theatre’ despite being conservative gay, while discussing briefly in comparison Yohangza's Romeo and Juliet, decried as ‘anti-queer’ for all its queerness. Although the dream of a happy married life in Juliet and Juliet appears similar to the much-critiqued homonormativity, I defend it as a ‘gay utopian fantasy’ rooted in the predicament of Korean queers under the ideology of familism. Questioning the adequacy of Western-centric queer theory to explain Korean gay reality, I call for the need to develop alternative concepts and positive vocabularies to give voice to the lived experience and aspiration of sexual minorities in countries like Korea, for whom the post-gay era has not yet arrived.

Abstract:

This study examined three distinct fantasy elements present among the nine different monsters featured in the classic trilogy “Myeong-Ju-Bo-Wol-Bing” and effectively integrated them into the creation of a drama synopsis. The fantasy elements embedded within this epic narrative can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the monsters' remarkable and unbounded transformation abilities enable an in-depth exploration of their conflicts with humans, providing a means for humans to fulfill their desires vicariously. Secondly, the narrative unfolds through captivating encounters, featuring mysterious items, between the monsters and celestial beings, resulting in awe-inspiring spectacles. Thirdly, the tale of reincarnation, transitioning between monster and human forms and vice versa, instills a sense of tension and eager anticipation. The drama synopsis takes native monsters from Korean classic literature and reimagines them as modern entities, delving into their hidden psychological depths and desires. The narrative serves as a fantasy hero novel, weaving themes of coexistence and communication between humans and monsters into its core.

Abstract:

As a major voice in children's literature in China, Feng Zikai uses his own life experience and the historical context of contemporary wars to negotiate the Chinese cultural myth of ‘The Peach Blossom Spring’ [Tao Hua Yuan]. ‘The Country of the Red Heart’ [Chi Xin Guo] is a fantastic utopia that exists parallel to our world, revealing his efforts to depict a pastoral dreamland and his subsequent disillusion in the face of the horrors of war and political strife. It is a story of fantasy as well as a political move on the part of Feng Zikai to address the historical milieu of China during the time of World War II, the Civil War, and the Korean War. Feng Zikai goes beyond the combination of Chinese-style cartoon [manhua] drawings and grotesquely fanciful plot as a war story for children. It is a modern political parable that demonstrates the vulnerability of his utopia in the first part of twentieth-century China.

Abstract:

Optimism is cruel when it promises and yet does not deliver happiness. In the postwar proliferation of neoliberal economic order, the sense of crisis saturates everyday life and the bourgeois promise of a ‘good life’ is no longer attainable. Nevertheless, the fantasy of a ‘good life’ binds the subject to the life that exhausts him/her. The subject does not relinquish the attachment to that fantasy, for the sense of proximity engendered through that attachment serves to form a significant affective foundation for some form of sustainable everyday life. Such is the double bind of cruel optimism, which Lauren Berlant explores in her Cruel Optimism (2011). This essay explicates key notions and thoughts Lauren Berlant extends in Cruel Optimism and a few other works, and attempts to read some aspects of contemporary Korean society through Berlant’s thoughts as an hermeneutic tool. While critically testing and assessing Berlant’s work, this essay also turns to her multi-faceted understanding of “lateral agency” as a possible path for reinventing subjectivity and renegotiating citizenship. Ultimately, I suggest literature as a minoritarian site where a collective cultivation of lateral agency can take place for an affective counter-politics against the ongoing crisis and the double bind of cruel optimism.

Abstract:

Abstract This study examined the impact of translated Harry Potter series on Korea’s literature system, adopting Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory. Literature review shows that (1) discourses on children’s fantasy literature increased; (2) the number of the country’s original children’s fantasy books apparently inspired by Harry Potter rose; (3) the country’s discourses about children’s fantasy literature began to focus more on its own originals and their distinctive features. This indicates that translated Harry Potter moved to the centre in Korea’s children’s literary system. And this is mainly attributed to the weakness of the country’s fantasy literature system. This research is based on Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory which is considered an effective framework to describe the dynamic and competitive interplay between systems, and it is significant as the first attempt to explain the rise of translated fantasy children’s books in Korea’s children’s literature system in the wake of the sweeping popularity of translated Harry Potter.

Abstract:

The global phenomenon known as the Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, has brought Korean pop culture to every corner of the Internet. In this paper, I discuss the impact Hallyu has had in France specifically and examine the online subculture of female-created fanfiction that has arisen from it. I postulate that, for a French woman, the act of participating in fandom and/or writing slash fanfiction about Korean pop idols constitutes a political act of rebellion against the patriarchy and gender norms, even if the fan herself is unaware of it.
