Bøger om Sydkorea

Sui forlader sin mand uden helt at kunne forklare hvorfor. Da hun modtager et brev om, at hendes ukendte bedstefar har ladet hende arve en hytte på Citronbjerget, beslutter hun sig for at rejse fra Danmark til Korea. Selvom Sui har rødder i landet, er alt fremmed. Selv hytten føles ubekvem, da den tårnhøje bedstefar har dimensioneret den efter sin egen krop. Kan hun overhovedet spejle sig i ham, når han er død? Hvem er den mand, der opsøger hende og påstår, at de kender hinanden? Og hvorfor ligger der bittesmå påfuglevifter i tændstikæsker i køleskabet? Da hyttens gartner anklages for mordbrand, og hans datter forsvinder, suges Sui ind i et familiedrama, der forankrer hende på bjerget og sætter hendes skilsmisse i et andet lys.CITRONBJERGET er et forunderligt sted og en roman om at miste fodfæstet og genfinde balancen. En fortælling om kærlighed – den man fravælger, den man mister og den, der blomstrer helt af sig selv.

Det er nu femogtyve år, siden jeg sidst har myrdet nogen. Eller er det seksogtyve år? Det er i hvert fald længe siden. En morders dagbog er både fængslende, foruroligende og provokerende i sin udforskning af hvad det vil sige at bevæge sig på kanten – mellem liv og død, mellem det gode og det onde, mellem hukommelse og glemsel. Hovedpersonen er en pensioneret, alzheimersramt seriemorder der læser buddhistiske sutraer, skriver digte og citerer Nietzsches filosofi, samtidig med at han, bevæbnet med post-it sedler, diktafon og dagbog, desperat forsøger at holde fast i resterne af den hverdag og den hukommelse, der nådesløst smuldrer mellem fingrene på ham. Da han mistænker sin datters kæreste for at være en artsfælle, påtager han sig en sidste opgave: at slå kæresten ihjel.Mordet har været hans profession. Han kender alt til den praktiske og tekniske research, og til vigtigheden af nøje planlægning, men hvad stiller man op med sin research, når man hele tiden glemmer, hvorfor man udfører den? Når tidsfornemmelsen udviskes og virkelighedsopfattelsen forsvinder? Når man bliver i tvivl om, hvem det er der skal slås ihjel?Kim Young-ha [1968] er født og opvokset i Sydkorea. Han debuterede i 1996 med romanen I Have the Right to Destroy Myself, der er oversat til mere end ti sprog og har siden da skrevet en række prisvindende romaner, heriblandt En morders dagbog, der ligesom debutromanen også er filmatiseret.

I den lille sydkoreanske kystby Sokcho tæt på grænsen til Nordkorea møder den unge fransk-koreanske kvinde, som aldrig har været i Europa, en tegneserietegner, der er kommet for at få inspiration, langt væk fra Normandiet, hvor han stammer fra. Det er vinter, kulden sætter en dæmper for alting, fiskene kan være giftige, kroppene smertefulde, misforståelserne svævende, og blækket flyder ubønhørligt på papiret: et spinkelt bånd knyttes mellem to mennesker med meget forskellig kulturel baggrund. Romanen bærer som det hvide skum blidt læseren ind i et univers af sjælden rigdom og originalitet og en magtfuld atmosfære.

Adoption - Identitet – Eksistens beskriver adoptivbørns dobbelte udfordring i identitetsdannelse. Adopterede har en baggrund med rødder i både adoptiv- og biologisk familie. Adoptivbarnets biologiske baggrund er en eksistentiel og ukendt faktor i den adopteredes bevidsthed. Spørgsmålet er, hvordan man får de to sider til at smelte sammen i barnets bevidsthed, så barnet får redskaber, der hjælper det med at få svar på tvivl i forhold til eksistens? Hvordan kan adoptivbørn håndtere udfordringer med dannelse af identitet og eksistens? Hvor er ’de blinde pletter’? Og hvordan kan adoption påvirke adfærd og reaktioner på en bevidst og ubevidst måde? Hvordan har barnesynet forandret sig over tid?Bogen er skrevet af adoptivbørn for adoptivbørn. Den adopterede skal ikke føle sig alene. Jytte er født i Danmark og adopteret af danske forældre, mens Kasper er født i Sydkorea og adopteret af danske forældre. Som grundlag for at forstå og give et muligt bud på en bedre forståelse af baggrund og eksistentielle udfordringer taler forfatterne med fagfolk og adoptivbørn i forskellige aldre og steder i livet.

In this fully illustrated introduction, Dr Carter Malkasian provides a concise overview of the so-called "Forgotten War" in Korea.From 1950 to 1953, the most powerful countries in the world engaged in a major conventional war on the Korean peninsula. Yet ironically this conflict has come to be known as the USA's "Forgotten War." Korean War historian Dr Carter Malkasian explains how this conflict in a small peninsula in East Asia had a tremendous impact on the entire international system and the balance of power between the two superpowers, America and Russia. In this illustrated history, he examines how the West demonstrated its resolve to thwart Communist aggression and the armed forces of China, the Soviet Union and the United States came into direct combat for the only time during the Cold War. Updated and revised for the new edition, with specially commissioned color maps and new images throughout, this is a detailed introduction to a significant turning point in the Cold War.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: A+, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, language: English, abstract: This study aims to explore the potentials of producing halal food products in Korea as halal animal meat manufacturing facility at primary stage; and to examine the viability of developing halal food manufacturing industry. There are about 1.6 billion Muslim population in the world, which is one fifth of the world population, and they are not only within the confines of the Arabian Gulf states but widespread all around the world. Followed by an analysis conducted by Pew Research Center, Muslim population make up about 23% of the world¿s population and is expected to reach 26.4% of in a decade¿s time, which is equivalent to 10 per cent annual growth of the industry. Muslim communities were created by ties of Islam that bound all Muslims together, requiring them to comply with the basic requirement of the religion in their way of life. However, diversity may be identified among Muslims by differences in appearance, culture, customs and lifestyle through the spread of Islam. Along with the widespread and rapid growth of Muslim population globally, halal industry is highlighted as a significant growing industry ¿ a new ¿Blue ocean¿ in global market. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Islam, Halal refers to ¿lawful¿ and ¿permissible¿ in Islamic law, which recognised as a standard for food, products, behaviours and services that are allowed for Muslims to consume. Initially, halal industry seems only relevant to Muslim-majority countries, however, it is now increasingly spreading to non-Islamic nation-states. Muslim consumers identify halal food and non-food products as obligatory to consume and use, and non-Muslim consumers often recognise halal food and non-food products as good quality (Riaz & Chaudry, 2004) and healthy because they are specially processed with strict requirements to prevent harms and for the highest standards of Tahara ¿ physical sense of purity, hygiene and quality. Halal certification increasingly gains its trust globally, not only as a religious matter of choice but as a method of accreditation of safety, for example, Malaysian government requests all halal certification applicants to submit Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) to ascertain the safety of food to be consumed.

How could visiting Seoul be described in a way that allows someone else to feel like they are right there? What to say? What perspectives to choose? »What Should I Say-About Seoul« takes the reader on a path less traveled: The work and daily-life of Korean designers; but not just as a spectator. Traveling invites the traveler to question one's own perspective. The reader is invited to also learn about Korean designers' views on Germany. The insights found through this process are inspiring as well as challenging.»What Should I Say-About Seoul« gives a glimpse into South Korean society that is not so common after all. The editors focused on the works and experiences of designers. Some of the insights into the Seoul work experience appear grim at places, colored by the ongoing pandemic that forced people to cut down on social interactions.Also included are the experiences of Korean-German designers in the book and through that is could be noticed that there is really no reason to think of Germany as a country that "has it figured out." The modern workplace can be a very mixed bag at times and bad working conditions plague the creative ­industry worldwide. Speaking about these experiences allows us to feel less isolated and work towards change-so it is not all doom and gloom.

Her father, a cattle farmer, is elderly and requires her care. He is withdrawn, kind but awkward around his own daughter. As time passes however, Hon realises that her father is far more complex than she ever realised. The discovery of a chest of letters and conversations with his family and friends help Hon piece together the tumultuous story of his life.

Im südkoreanischen Gyeongju sind im gesamten Stadtgebiet Grabhügel des Königreichs Silla zu finden. Viele dieser Hügel wurden, nachdem sie lange Zeit vergessen waren, in den 1970er Jahren wieder errichtet, um ein Band zwischen dem Südkorea unter der Herrschaft von Präsident Park Chung-Hee und dem als reich und mächtig glorifizierten Königreich Silla (57 v. Chr. bis 935) zu knüpfen. - Für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 1972 in München wurde der Große Schuttberg als wesentliches Element eines Landschaftsparks umgestaltet. Die gesamte Anlage war darauf ausgelegt, eine weltoffene Bundesrepublik zu präsentieren. Unter dem gepflegten Rasen ruhen die Trümmer der im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörten Gebäude. In Fotografien und Texten beschreibt Ina Kwon ihre Reisen und Recherchen zu diesen beiden Orten, an denen mit künstlichen Hügeln Geschichte verschüttet, aufgedeckt, konstruiert und umgeschrieben wird. Das Buch besteht aus zwei Teilen - Gyeongju / München die gegeneinander gesetzt und gedreht sind. Ina Kwon ist Grafik-Designerin. Sie studierte an der HGB Leipzig und war Researcher an der Jan van Eyck Academie.--In Gyeongju, South Korea, tumuli dating back to the Kingdom of Silla can be found all over the city. After years in oblivion, many of these burial mounds were reconstructed in the 1970s in a bid to link President Park Chung-Hee's South Korea with the Kingdom of Silla (57 BC - AD 935), a period that was traditionally glorified as rich and powerful. - For the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, the city's Schuttberg, a great pile of rubble left behind by World War II, was recast as an essential element of a landscape park. The entire complex was laid out on it with the idea of showing West Germany as being open to the world. The debris of the buildings destroyed in the war is buried under the park's manicured grass. Ina Kwon uses photographs and texts to depict her travels and describe the research she carried out in these two locations, in which artificial hills are deployed to bury, expose, construct and rewrite history. The book consists of two sections-Gyeongju and Munich-which are printed in juxtaposition at 180° to one another so that the book can be read from either direction.Ina Kwon is a graphic designer. She studied at the Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts (HGB) and was a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie.
