So, what goes on in Korea, for you, is a perspective about the rest of the world, to some extent. <br /><br />That's my point, and i'm you sure understand my critique, whether or not you agree with it. You treat your ideas as if they are the same or should be treated as the same as the folks your learning about. (See my comments from this morning that were deleted. I assume by you.)<br /><br />My point isn't that you need to include discussion of other cultures. It's that you seem to speak from a position of authority that you simply don't have. I want to ask: is it academic, voyeuristic, simple curiosity? At any rate, its other and often white, in my opinion.<br /><br />I think, for it (the discourse,) to be honest it needs to be a little self conscious and address where it's coming from. At least some concern for authenticity in care for the culture you're being so authoritative about. Otherwise it reads like Himmelfarb- or Noonan -esque interpretations of culture and history and becomes rather overtly political.<br /><br />As I've mentioned before, I'm genuinely interested because I like to read your blog. I've been thinking these things because I, too, take an interest and am seriously addressing how we write about Korea.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336286974067459325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-35120008727063880622010-10-07T13:34:27.300+09:002010-10-07T13:34:27.300+09:00Probably because it's a blog about what is and...Probably because it's a blog about what is and has been going on in Korea, and not the rest of the world. I have connected things before to Canada or Japan, and will most certainly make some connections between the U.S. and Korea in an upcoming series (of which this post is a bit of a teaser), but my focus is often on Korea. Of course, the nice thing about having a comments section and trackbacks is that others can make connections and add to what I've researched or written.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-43237170710986367202010-10-07T09:34:57.866+09:002010-10-07T09:34:57.866+09:00is there a reason that you don't include korea...is there a reason that you don't include korean cultural trends in wider discussions about global trends in the issues you raise?<br /><br />you write about korea as if it exists in a cultural vacuum. some of the cultural elites from the old guard might like to think so, but the truth is radically otherwise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336286974067459325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-84876073175248794392010-10-07T09:27:29.557+09:002010-10-07T09:27:29.557+09:00good post...good post...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336286974067459325noreply@blogger.com
