Date, time, place: May 1, 2025, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, May 2, 2025, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Center for Korean Studies Conference Room Organized by: Center for Korean Studies
This conference explores the ideology and practice of development in North Korea and South Korea by focusing on the two Koreas’ mutual but opposite, responsive but divergent discourse-formation and societal transformation contingent on the universal rationality of technoscience geared for the masses. The technoscientific developments of the two Koreas are critically juxtaposed—mirrored across the impermeable border—to analyze not only the binary comparative perspectives between North and South, but also the diversified directions and entangled historical moments of colonialism, the Cold War, and global modernity. The combined term “technoscience and statecraft” then describes the confluence of operations between population management, technological education, and scientific primacy imposed on the masses.
