3 Korean studies

Not much on state power related research

> With students: Newman, Harmony D. (health and illness, social movement), Heather Lensman Kettrey (sexual violence, college students)



What does it mean that Asian countries are sexually conservative? Is it really true? Isn’t it a misunderstanding that treats predefined ethnic culture as truism? What is sexual conservatism not only in sexual beliefs, practices, desires, and rights in different population groups? Asian sexual conservatism as an ideology?
Seth says he doesn’t think Asians are sexually conservative because of their cultural products such as Japanese porns and animation, and of the fact that they are not religion. He doesn’t relate Confucious ideas to sexual conservatism.

-       it relates to regional studies on the whole, on how Asian countries are defined as. How does this certain stereotype emerge? What does it mean having this stereotyping?
-       Cultural consumption aspect; cultural and religious norms; interpersonal behaviors; …
-       Do Koreans believe they are living in a sexually conservative country?


Seeing sexual desire in the sexual citizenship. What is desire that can be fully grasped? How does the desire emerge and dispute?

My all-time keywords: SEXUAL DESIRE, KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION, SEXUAL CITIZENSHIP


Current literature on sexual desire : SES, age… Not very ‘macro-level’ research.
sexual desire within the global scale


2) study journal of sex education and find if they are not only for methodological nationalism.

History of sex education in Korea: how state power controls national bodies

sex education varied within age groups: 1) community-based: for married couples 2) military: 3) schools 4) family 5) school police, family and women's department, etc.

Q:
Why there's no resistance in the realm of sex education, except the late 1990s? Just because of the absence of homosexuality in the content? 


How state power makes difference in perceiving risk and pleasure?
How state power builds a sexual citizen?
How people choose what to teach and what not to teach?

Studying the agency, school principals, and ... knowledge production


state, civil society, school and sex ed agencies
studying Youth. Children. --- continued with my previous works.

Do I really wanna join the sex education field?

SSRC DPDF prep_070416

0)It should be a gender study.
1) No need to cover every literature now.
2) ASK: Is it alright to do before I even don't pass the qualification exam? - Yes, I guess. What I'm doing now is mere literature review on limited range of the one for my dissertation. I will cover gender and sex in migration, eventually. For that, I am covering the range of masculinity (gender) and refugee (migration), first. Just get to the target first.
3)"sex lives"(the very micro level) will come later. The "East Asian cold-war sexuality/masculinity" will come later, too.

S really wants me to write a piece that everybody should cite.

What should be studied, then? I can show how the knowledge production on sexuality and migration is gendered or possibly queered. You can calculate ration of hetero/homo in studies of sexuality and migration. Additionally, you can show how gender is related to the tendency. Think of the article that argues studies of sexuality in Korea is pretty much just gendered, producing the knowledge of gendered sexuality.
