ISBN: 9780520252882 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines how the concept of "Korean woman" underwent a radical transformation in Korea's public discourse during the years of Japanese colonialism. Theodore Jun Yoo shows that as women moved out of traditional spheres to occupy new positions outside the home, they encountered the pervasive control of the colonial state, which sought to impose modernity on them. While some Korean women conformed to the dictates of colonial hegemony, others took deliberate pains to distinguish between what was "modern" (e.g., Western outfits) and thus legitimate, and what was "Japanese," and thus...

characterised by rapid growth. It is regarded as an exemplary model for taking the leap from an underdeveloped and agrarian country to an industrialised nation. The discussion about the success factors reaches far out into the fields of socio-economics and cultural science among others, and it is indeed an essential one due to markets growing closer, increasingly creating cultural diversity within workforces and requiring an explanatory approach towards the challenges arising naturally from these conditions. The focus of... Within the past decades, the South Korean economic development has been characterised by rapid growth. It is regarded as an exemplary model for |

Education Fever
ISBN: 9780824825348 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the half century after 1945, South Korea went from an impoverished, largely rural nation ruled by a succession of authoritarian regimes to a prosperous, democratic industrial society. No less impressive was the country's transformation from a nation where a majority of the population had no formal education to one with some of the world's highest rates of literacy, high school graduates, and university students. Drawing on their premodern and colonial heritages as well as American education concepts, South Koreans have been largely successful in creating a schooling system that is...

The collection covers a period of over 400 years - from...
