Book Talk - Relational Pasts: The Conflictual International Politics of Memory and the Japan-South Korea History Problem
This book draws on literature concerning memory, national identity and ontological security to develop a theoretical framework that seeks to explain how and why international conflict concerning the past arises and endures and how it may be transformed, and applies this to the so-called 'history problem' in Japan-South Korea relations through a discourse analysis of a vast dataset of primary sources, from both South Korea and Japan, across politics, media and culture.
