About the Book

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.

Review :
“Commemorating the 140th anniversary of Germany-Korea diplomatic ties, this pioneering collection fills a central gap in both German and Korean studies. This insightful work reaches far beyond the customary focus on economics, high politics, and history to delve into interactions, representations, migration, mobility, cultural exchanges, and, notably, the influence on the German-Korean relationship exerted by 'otherness' portrayals across media, art, migration and academia. The book interweaves the micro-context of Koreans' lives in Germany with macro-interdisciplinary perspectives, including gender, intersectionality, and cultural representation. This approach sheds light on the repercussions of eurocentrism, colonialism, and Western discourses in their shared history. A must-read for those seeking insights into German-Korean relations, this book is likely to become an invaluable resource for students, policymakers, regional experts, and enthusiasts intrigued by the interplay of changing cultures and ideas.” “This book unravels the multifaceted exchanges and representations of Germany and (South) Korea from different academic disciplines. It explores an impressive breadth of themes including migration, media discourses, art, literature, translation, and education. The contributions help to deepen our understanding about sociological, political, historical, and linguistic phenomena and developments. The chapters shed light on various topics that not only enrich the scholarly debate, but also provide to readers an excellent overview on the rich body of multidisciplinary research within Korean studies and in the broader context of German-Korean relations. Moreover, the contributions foster intercultural understanding between the societies of Germany and Korea. All this makes the book a very informative, inspiring, and quite comprehensive read for everyone interested in the topic.”
