SSK “Koreanische Teilung/ Post-Division“ Forschungsgruppe, Dongguk Universität

Die SSK (Social Sciences Korea) Forschungsgruppe ‚Koreanische Teilung/ Post-Division‘ der Dongguk University und ihr Projekt 분단의 행위자-네트워크와 탈분단의 사회동학 (Akteure der Teilung – Netzwerke und soziale Dynamiken nach der Teilung), welches von der National Research Foundation of Korea (Fachbereich Soziologie) gefördert wird, besteht seit 10 Jahren als Aufgabengebiet. Unter der Projektleitung von Prof. Dr. Park Sun Song (Professor für Nordkoreastudien der Dongguk Univ.) sind weitere neun WissenschaftlerInnen involviert, deren Schwerpunkte unter anderem auf den Nordkoreastudien, Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaften, Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften und Genderstudien liegen. Die Forschungsgruppe will sich von üblichen Themen der Teilungs-Forschung wie Politik und Sicherheit lösen und hingegen die empirischen und praktischen Dimensionen einer Post-Division sowie eine Theorisierung erarbeiten. Durch die Analyse von konkreten Realitäten und Erfahrungen sollen Wirklichkeiten der Teilung neu verstanden werden. Zusätzlich werden pragmatische Perspektiven für den Fall einer Post-Division angestrebt.
