商品簡介
Cross-Border Interactions and Encounters between Germany and Korea undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the relatively under-represented dimensions of cross-border encounters and interactions between Germany and Korea from an interdisciplinary perspective. It extends beyond traditional areas of study, such as diplomatic and economic exchanges, to encompass both historical and recent phenomena resulting from their interactions through migration, classical and popular culture, literature, media representation, and academia. Contributors address topics such as Korean migration in Germany, Korean culture in Germany, media representation of each culture by the other country, the impact of German culture in Korea, the development of Korean Studies in Germany, and the history of German Studies in Korea. By shedding light on the multifaceted and diverse dimensions of Korea and Germany's relationship, the volume offers fresh perspectives and valuable insights into Korean-German relations. Published at a time when globalization and international relations are attracting increasing attention in both academia and mainstream media, with only a limited number of academic publications that examine bilateral or unilateral relations between Korea and a European country, this book effectively addresses significant gaps in the fields of both German and Korean studies.
