Complicated narratives of ‘Korean-ness’: towards strategic provisionality in parental involvement

The purpose of this paper is to advance the discourse on parental involvement drawing from Butlerian notion of strategic provisionality. In developing a new approach to understanding cultural differences and their relation to Korean parental involvement, the authors analyze qualitative and quantitative data from five New York metropolitan elementary schools. The authors examine the ways in which ‘Korean-ness’ and Korean parental involvement are discursively constructed and embodied in sociopolitical and historical contexts in the United States. We present two themes related to Korean parental involvement: (a) the double-edged component of respect for teachers and (b) biopolitics related to English language and parental involvement. By challenging normalized understanding about Korean-ness, the authors suggest a different approach to ethnoepistemology in order to enrich discourses concerning parental involvement and ethnic/racial studies.

Consumption in the Korean Wedding Ritual: Wedding Ritual Values, Consumer Needs, and Expenditures

Recently, consumer researchers have been interested in rituals that concisely express the consumption system in a culture. This article studies the Korean wedding ritual. The particular focus is on consumer values, needs, and expenditures related to Korean weddings. Research hypotheses were developed by analyzing the consumption phenomena in a sociocultural context and using focus groups and in-depth interviews. The author suggests that hedonic values relating to wedding rituals influence conspicuous and female-focused consumption. Implications of the study and further consumption research issues are discussed.

Korean Version of the Revised Problem-Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers Substance Use/Abuse Scale: A Validation Study

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to validate the Korean version of the revised Problem-Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT) substance use/abuse scale for measuring adolescent substance abuse problems. The Korean version of the revised POSIT was validated with a sample of 1,051 students in grades 7–12 in Korea. Exploratory factor analysis identified that the Korean version of the revised POSIT is a unidimensional screening instrument similar to the English version. The Korean version of the revised POSIT showed high internal consistency reliability and good convergent validity and demonstrated optimal performance at a cut-off score of 1, which was the score recommended by its developer. The Korean version of the revised POSIT is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring Korean adolescent substance abuse. However, validation with clinical samples is needed to improve its ability to correctly capture substance-abusing adolescents.     

朝鲜战争与东北亚格局

东北亚的钥匙是朝鲜半岛,谁掌握了朝鲜半岛,谁就掌握了东北亚地区。朝鲜半岛局势每一次大的变化,无不影响到东北亚格局的变迁,而东北亚格局的演变,也必然左右着朝鲜半岛局势的发展。朝鲜战争的爆发与结束正是这种相互关系的最好诠释。在一定程度上而言,朝鲜战争是东北亚格局演变的结果,而战争的爆发与结束又促进了东北亚格局的重建。     

Are they ideological renegades? Fathers' experiences on taking parental leave and gender dynamics in Korea: A qualitative study

Despite their fear of repercussions on career advancement and gender identity, Korean fathers taking parental leave have continually increased. Why do Korean fathers take parental leave in spite of the risk of being stigmatized as less masculine and less ideal workers? Are they willing to be ‘ideological renegades' to be new involved fathers? In‐depth interviews with fathers who took parental leave provide interesting answers. Overall, taking parental leave does not make fathers become ideological renegades since it is mainly utilized in a manner that accommodates the work devotion schema, deviating from the formal policy objectives. This deviant utilization is encouraged and even valued by organizations. This may be part of a psychological contract between organizations and employees, ensuring that employees are dedicated to their career even during parental leave. Furthermore, beyond the legal eligibility of uptake, informal but powerful ‘organizational eligibility' such as high performance or their contribution to the organization, makes not only the likelihood but also the aftermath of taking up different across fathers. As a result, a hierarchy among fathers with class connotations emerges. This hierarchy among fathers, combined with the traditional gender hierarchy, may reinforce the masculine fabric of ideal workers as the norm.     

从韩剧透视韩国女性文化
