Call for Conference Papers
Digital Korea: Stories, systems and spaces of connection
Centre for Korean Studies
The University of Sheffield
30-31 May 2024
The Centre for Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield is pleased to be calling for papers for a conference titled Digital Korea: Stories, systems and spaces of connection, funded by the AKS Core Grant Programme. Please see here for full call details.
This conference explores the diverse ways that Korean social, political and cultural relations at all levels, on both sides of the DMZ, are mediated by and through digital media. Alongside state-led narratives of national progress or industrial development that often benchmark digital achievements, Koreans use digital media in ways that do not always align with these broader state narratives. This conference brings attention to these stories, systems and spaces of connection to show how both North and South Korean cases can be in conversation with each other and cases of digital sociality around the world. We aim to highlight research that addresses diverse, hidden, or underexplored aspects of digital connections, from the micro-interactions of friendship on chat apps to the commercialisation of whole neighbourhoods into digital valleys. We welcome papers that discuss topics as diverse as bureaucracy, medicine, religion, international politics, friendship, popular media, parenting, science and engineering, office life, old age, and others.
The conference is open to Korean Studies scholars at any career level, including PhD students, post-doctoral scholars and established academics. We welcome papers from any discipline that touch broadly on any of the themes below:
Digital platforms in contemporary Korea: including the use of platforms in work and organisations, and the role of digital platforms in public discourse, debate, governance and activism;
Digital markets: attending to the practices of the platform economy, E-commerce and consumption, and the rises in FinTech;
Digital infrastructure: focusing on the materiality of virtual domains, the rise of the “smart city,” genealogies of networks (1G-5G), Korea’s high-speed/high-barrier internet, technological waste and recirculation;
Digital media, influencers and popular culture: the use of digital media in the creation and dissemination of film, television, music, and literature; influencers, the creation of digital communities and cultural diplomacy;
Digital storytelling and representation: how digital media platforms have shaped narratives about Korea and its people;
Virtual realities and augmented experiences: the integration of virtual reality, augmented reality and interactive media in entertainment, gaming and art;
Digital archives and Korean history: their development and use, as well as their application in teaching and learning;
Digital research methods: innovations in Korean Studies research using digital methods.
