Speaker: Tani Barlow, Professor, Department of History and Women Studies, University of Washington. In this history of thinking about the subject of women in twentieth-century China, Barlow illustrates the theories and conceptual categories that Enlightenment Chinese intellectuals have developed to describe the collectivity of women. Demonstrating how generations of these theorists have engaged with international debates over eugenics, gender, sexuality, and the psyche, Barlow argues that as an Enlightenment project, feminist debate in China is at once Chinese and international.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Korean War, Lee Ho-Chul was drafted into the North Korean army. "Southerners, Northerners" (Namny k saram pungny k saram) is a fictionalized account of his inglorious yet dramatic experiences as a raw recruit and, soon afterward, as a prisoner of war. Beginning with some fascinating vignettes of North Korean high school life and ending with a narrow escape from death, the story offers a unique perspective on the early phases of the war and its everyday realities, from the tragic to the farcical. While this and other works of Lee Ho-Chul have been translated into many languages, this is the first time a complete novel by this major figure in contemporary Korean literature has been published in English. The novel won the prestigious Daesan Literary Award for Fiction when it was published in 1996. The English translation has been prepared in close consultation with the author. Lee Ho-Chul was born in Weonsan, in what is now North Korea, in 1932. He served in the North Korean Army in the Korean War until taken prisoner. He made his way South by boat in 1950 and worked in the mid-1950s as a guard at a U.S. Army base. He debuted on the literary scene in 1955 with his short story "Away From Home," embarking on a remarkable literary career that has now moved into its fifth decade. Lee is a member of the Republic of Korea National Academy of the Arts and the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Modern Literature Award for "Panmunjom" and the Dongin Prize for "Wasting Away." Lee Ho-Chul has lived in the South, forcibly separated from his family in the North, for over fifty years. Lee's fiction movingly portrays the social and political conditions he has lived through and has made him one of Korea's leading literary figures today. Sponsors: The Korea Studies Program, the East Asia Center and the University Book Store. For more information, contact abernier@u.washington.edu, (206) 543-4391.

December 13 Prisoners in the Caucasus: A History of Kidnapping. 3:30 PM, 317 Thomson Hall. Speaker: Bruce Grant. Beginning with a fabled narrative poem by Aleksandr Pushkin from 1822, entitled "Prisoner of the Caucasus," Grant explores how the idiom of kidnapping, in the ritual seizure, taking, and most importantly, giving of bodies across perceived cultural lines, has been central to Russia's understanding of its troubled relations with the mountainous land holdings to its south for over 200 years. By juxtaposing classic ethnographic sources on Caucasian bride-kidnapping and the hostage taking of military figures as proxies in ritualized violence, with multiple renderings of Pushkin's good prisoner story in poetry, prose, opera, ballet, and film, these seemingly apolitical artifacts of Russian popular culture work to generate a powerful symbolic economy of Russian belonging in the Caucasus Mountains. Bruce Grant is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Swarthmore College and currently a Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
