TuDoKu

In this small but meaningful workshop, scholars from Germany, Japan, and Korea will probe a new understanding of colonial experience in comparative perspective. We specifically review the mutual inter-relations between the colonizer and the colonized, focusing on the Japanese and Korean experience. In addition, the workshop will deal with other experiences between the UK and India, as well as Germany and Africa. We hope that this small step will lead to continuous workshops in the near future to examine the division of North and South Korea in relation to the colonial experience in comparison with the German experience. We examine this issue not only from a historical perspective but also from sociological, cultural, and linguistic perspectives.

The Doshisha University as well as the Korea University are each hosting the Tuebingen University branches of the Japanese and the Korean Studies department in Japan and South Korea respectively. Through this workshop we expect to intensify our cooperation with our partners in East Asia.

Organized by the Department of Japanese Studies and Department of Chinese and Korean Studies at University of Tuebingen in cooperation with Doshisha University and Korea University
