Beyond the Boundaries of Law and Humanities: Rethinking East Asian Law and Culture
Date: September 27 Tue.
Venue: 31310, 3rd Fl. Toegye Hall of Humanities
Host: SKKU AEAS Humanities Korea
The Academy of East Asian Studies (AEAS), Sungkyunkwan University has conducted an extensive research on East Asian history, culture, and society, while focusing on Korea, since its establishment as a research institute in 2000. Its main goal is to search for new perspectives and alternative methodologies for East Asian studies, and to provide the 21st-century world with a new paradigm.
♦ Topic of the Symposium
The study of law today has made positive social and cultural impacts by engaging in interdisciplinary approaches and active communications with diverse fields of study. Although the study of law emerged as a modern social science, a tendency to study law from the broader and more profound perspectives motivated by humanities and different fields of social science has recently prevailed. Admittedly, the achievement of both legal and social justice should not be possible without broader socio-cultural insights beyond the mechanical application of legal codes. Indeed, to search for which path Korean law and society should follow is a problem to be solved by both legal scholars and humanists collaboratively. In this respect, this international symposium aims at providing general audiences with diverse points of view of comparative law and history and the broader contexts of East Asian culture in the study of Korean law.
