项目摘要

In 2021 South Korea and the UK are each reckoning with the effects of sexual and gender inequality and prejudice. This network aims to establish a cross-cultural dialogue on how language, literature, and the arts intervene on issues of gender inequality in society. It will bring together scholars from the UK and South Korea, across literary studies and the social sciences, to explore the international circulation of texts, and the politics of reading and writing in the era of #metoo. The project will centre on two symposia, two workshops, and two visiting lectures, in order to investigate cultural exchange in discourses of gender inequality between the UK and South Korea. The field trips will include student-facing research-led workshops to explore the language and symbolism of gender inequalities in the wake of #metoo. Beyond the central structures of the network, we will work together to scope a range of opportunities for future collaboration and closer ties between the host institutions.The problem of gender inequality in South Korea is long-standing and it has come to a climax in the past five years. Following the femicide 'Gangnam Station murder case' in 2016, the global #metoo movement gained traction in Seoul with activists protesting against the wider issue of how Confucian, patriarchal structures bear on women. Despite the fact that South Korea has the most highly educated female population in the OECD, 'the country's gender pay gap of 37% is OECD's largest, far more than twice the average in member states (14%). Average female earnings are 63% of male ones' (Foster-Carter, 2019). In the Global Gender Gap Index, South Korea is ranked 102nd (World Economic Forum, 2021). Yet feminist movements in South Korea have experienced a widespread backlash.On paper, the UK's statistics on gender inequality present a more positive picture, with the country ranked 23rd in the 2021 Global Gender Gap Index. However, such statistics mask a culture in which the public discourse on equal opportunities embedded in institutions obfuscate the structural inequalities and prejudices, highlighted and heightened by the Covid pandemic. The Incel terrorist shooting in Plymouth in August 2021, Sarah Everard's murder case have catalysed national protests. However, the UK is yet to directly address the bases of gender-based violence in dehumanizing and sexualized language, as part of a national conversation. The proposed project puts language, literature and the arts at the centre of its enquiry into gender inequality and violence, focusing on the vibrant cross-cultural exchanges between the two countries in this area. It puts emphasis on understanding how literary texts and reappropriated words and phrases have exerted influence across these cultures to both readdress inequalities and - contrariwise - to perpetrate them. It investigates how the written word has encapsulated and been weaponized against inequality across South Korean and UK cultures. Mindful that Gender Equality is one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals it asks more broadly too how cross-cultural dialogues in the arts have provided inspiration and community in the face of sexual and gender inequality, looking at the ways in which language and literature can be weaponized, and in what forums, to challenge sexual and gender inequality in South Korea and the UK. The symposia and workshops will take place in English, with all core participants fluent in English, and its main stated focus is the English-language circulation of terms and ideas (English in South Korea; Korean translated into English). This said, we welcome and will promote the discussion of translation practices with support from named participants. The written and podcast outputs will be translated into Korean and translation will be available for the Seoul-based events.
2021年,韩国和英国都在考虑性和性别不平等和偏见的影响。该网络旨在就语言、文学和艺术如何干预社会中的性别不平等问题建立跨文化对话。它将汇集来自英国和韩国的学者,横跨文学研究和社会科学,探索文本的国际流通,以及#metoo时代的阅读和写作的政治。该项目将以两个专题讨论会、两个讲习班和两个访问讲座为中心,以调查英国和韩国之间性别不平等话语的文化交流。实地考察将包括面向学生的研究主导的研讨会,以探索#metoo之后性别不平等的语言和象征意义。除了网络的核心结构之外,我们还将共同努力,为未来的合作和主办机构之间更紧密的联系寻找一系列机会。韩国的性别不平等问题由来已久,在过去五年中达到了高潮。继2016年发生杀害女性的“江南站谋杀案”后,全球#metoo运动在首尔获得了关注,活动人士抗议儒家和父权制结构如何影响女性这一更广泛的问题。尽管韩国拥有经合组织中受教育程度最高的女性人口,但该国37%的性别薪酬差距是经合组织中最大的,远远超过成员国平均水平(14%)的两倍。女性的平均收入是男性的63%(Foster-Carter,2019)。在全球性别差距指数中,韩国排名第102位(世界经济论坛,2021年)。然而,韩国的女权运动却遭遇了广泛的反弹。从纸面上看,英国关于性别不平等的统计数据呈现出一幅更为积极的图景,该国在2021年全球性别差距指数中排名第23位。然而,这些统计数据掩盖了一种文化,在这种文化中,关于平等机会的公共话语植根于机构,混淆了结构性不平等和偏见,而新冠肺炎疫情突出并加剧了这种不平等和偏见。2021年8月在普利茅斯发生的因塞尔恐怖枪击案、萨拉·埃弗拉德谋杀案等都催化了全国性的抗议活动。然而,联合王国尚未在全国对话中以非人性化和性化的语言直接解决基于性别的暴力的根源。拟议的项目将语言、文学和艺术置于调查性别不平等和暴力的中心,重点关注两国在这一领域充满活力的跨文化交流。它强调理解文学文本和重新使用的单词和短语如何在这些文化中产生影响,以重新处理不平等现象,并相反地使其发生。它调查了书面文字是如何封装和武器化的,以对抗韩国和英国文化中的不平等。考虑到性别平等是联合国可持续发展目标之一,它更广泛地询问艺术中的跨文化对话如何在面对性和性别不平等时提供灵感和社区,研究语言和文学可以武器化的方式,以及在什么论坛上挑战韩国和英国的性和性别不平等。研讨会和讲习班将以英语举行,所有核心参与者都能讲流利的英语,其主要重点是用英语传播术语和想法(在韩国是英语;韩语翻译成英语)。因此,我们欢迎并将在指定参与者的支持下促进翻译实践的讨论。书面和播客产出将被翻译成韩语,首尔的活动将提供翻译。
