Cornerstone of the Nation: The Defense Industry and the Building of Modern Korea under Park Chung Hee
The factors leading to South Korea’s 1970s industrial rise became a matter of heated debate in the 1990s, when scholars seeking to challenge neoliberal free-market ideologies pointed to the successes of East Asian industrial planning. Since then, historians and social scientists have pushed beyond the core assumptions of both the developmental state and neoliberal schools, especially by highlighting the geopolitical conjuncture in which South Kor…
Silence as Defeat and Reversal in Euripides’ Alcestis
Alcestis’ silence following her rescue from the Underworld by Heracles in Euripides’ Alcestis is a perennial source of speculation. This article argues that Alcestis’ silence is symptomatic and symbolic of Heracles’ reversal of the dual potential of her death, namely Alcestis’ ability to orchestrate her presence in Admetus’ house on her own terms, a situation made possible by her extraordinary self-sacrifice, and the wider benefit of ontological …
Anti‐Prostitution Politics and Militarised Urban Prosperity in the US Military Camptown in Korea
Camptowns ( kijich'on ) are neighbourhoods located near US military bases in Korea that are organised around the military service economy, especially the sex industry. While most studies of Korean camptowns point to the US military's involvement with the camptown sex industry as evidence of US military imperialism, this article argues that since 2004 anti‐prostitution polices have been essential to stabilising American militarisation in Korea's u…
Harmful Interaction between the Living and the Dead in Greek Tragedy
This book examines harmful interaction between the living and the dead in fifth-century BC Greek tragedy, i.e. how the living can harm the dead, and how the dead can harm the living in return. Tragedy contains some of the most fascinating and important stage-ghosts in Western literature, whether the talkative Persian king Darius, who is evoked from the Underworld in Aeschylus’ Persians , or the murdered Trojan prince Polydorus, who seeks burial f…
From Camp Town to International City: Us Military Base Expansion and Local Development in Pyeongtaek, South Korea
In Pyeongtaek, South Korea, the US military is currently completing construction of its largest overseas base, and tens of thousands of American troops, civilian workers and accompanying family members are relocating to the city. Activist and civil society groups fiercely opposed base expansion in Pyeongtaek, leading to violent confrontations with police in 2006. As many scholars have pointed out, the country's 1980s democratization and 1990s dec…
Cold Comfort: Winged Psychai on Fifth-Century Bc Greek Funerary Lekythoi
Some fifth-century BC Greek funerary lekythoi depict the dead as diminutive, winged figures. These often overlooked figures are the culmination of a tradition stretching back to the winged epic dead of the sixth century, whose depiction centred on motifs of recognition, remembrance, and comfort. This article argues that these motifs were adopted and adapted in the fifth century to fulfil the particular needs of the vase dedicators: the winged fig…
Blood, Honour and Status in Odyssey 11
During the necromantic ceremony in Odyssey 11 Odysseus slits the throats of two sheep and then proceeds to drain their blood into the βόθρος, or pit, which he has dug in the ground ( Od . 11.35–6). At this point in the ceremony the dead swarm up from the Underworld, displaying an innate attraction to the blood ( Od . 11.36–7). Such is the overwhelming response of the dead that Odysseus must draw his sword in order to hold back the multitudes who …
